Re: [Dri-devel] Fresh Snapshots and Blender

[Jason C. <ja...@ds...>]

Sorry for the late post to this topic, but is anyone still experiencing 
problems with this? I just recalled that I had the same problem about a 
year ago, before blender was open-sourced. I found a possible workaround 
for the problem for that old dynamic binary, perhaps it might work with 
the latest version. Try rendering everything in the same window as the 
3d view. DO NOT render anything in a separate pop-up window. I don't 
remamber how to configure blender to do this, but it was a simple menu 
setting. I had no lockups after that.

I haven't had time to try the new blender (or use the old one) but 
hopfully this will help you until the problem is actually fixed. I 
remember early versions of QERadiant having similar lockup problems, but 
they went away with a new release and updated drivers.
