[Bf-committers] OpenGL behaviour

[Mats Holmberg]

I've had slight graphic trouble with blender, until today I finally 
realized how to fix it.

I've used only nvidia cards (on multiple computers), and always had the 
same troubles. Running blender in fullscreen mode, as prefered, was 
screwing up my display a bit. Blender itself has been running fine, but 
it's been really irritating when buttons dissappear, screen goes blank 
and/or things start blinking. When running with the -w flag everything 
was just fine.

Today I accidentaly stumbled upon a program called nvidia-settings 
(found it in ubuntu repositories) and just had to try all the switches 
there to see if it had any effect. And to my surprise, turning off 
'allow flipping' in 'OpenGL settings' made blender run perfectly also in 
fullscreen mode. So, is this something that can be called a bug? And if 
so, is it nvidia or blender related?

Thanks,
Mats
