You say you have the latest driver, but are you sure its 3d accelerated ?

I doubt this is the best forum for help with this , thusly I would go here for help

yes i have.i think problem is in glibc because i have i686.I have asked people and if Blender works fine it was on glibc i386.I don know maybe it is stupid idea, but i cant reinstall glibc on i386.

And my graphic card works fine with compitz in gnome and in KDE with other 3D effects, but I disable it because i need not.

[root@Libra Leoryk]# glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: Yes

I have the same issue in Fedora 10 running on my e-machine and, believe it or not, my eee pc. Blender has distorted fonts, missing icons, and other bizarre distortions. It will render the default box model but is unusable otherwise.

I use Ubuntu, XP and Slax with no problem running Blender. I would really like to understand Fedora and get serious about it but this problem with Blender is a show stopper.

It is very difficult to find information on this problem with Blender running in Fedora 10. On a positive note, everything else works great in Fedora.

Okay! I fixed the Blender problem with the advice found here:
http://www.ghacks.net/2009/01/14/fed...ution-of-xorg/

I needed to create an Xorg.conf file and configure my computer for standard vesa.

This works and clears up the distortions I had in Blender.

Can you please share you xorg.conf? I have Intel graphics card and on Fedora 10 I have the same issues on same laptop under Fedora 9 everything works fine!

I'm at work so I don't have all my information about my xorg but it was a simple setting. I just used standard vesa, nothing fancy. But you need to create an xorg file in Fedora 10 because it doesn't come with xorg.conf.

I guess that the issue is in intel driver and not in X.org, because Fedora 10 and latest blender worked perfectly on other laptop running ATI graphic card.

But on my laptop with intel graphic card it failed

But when I tried it on Fedora 9 it worked perfectly - Fedora 9 also has no xorg.conf file.

Please post your xorg.conf file when you are able to - TIA!

Below is an excerpt from a blog that solved my Blender problem. I did the steps and installed the software. When you are in the program you will see the "vesa" option:

"One of the first things you should do, when you finish an installation of Fedora 10 is check in /etc/X11 to see if there is an xorg.conf file. If there is not you need to issue the command Xorg -configure :1. What this will do is generate a default xorg.conf file based on your hardware.

Your next step can be tackled in a couple of ways. You can edit the xorg.conf file by hand (for advanced users) or you can install the system-config-display application with the command yum install system-config-display. Once you get that installed you can run the application (as root) with the command system-config-display. From that point the GUI tool should be pretty straight foward to use."
