Hi Hazy, could it be that you do not use the appropiate driver for your Nvidia-card?
What does your /etc/X11/xorg.conf say?
You just looked at /var/log to see some mistakes?

I have the same issue.

Certain positions/directions slice out huge sections of the scenegraph. The locations are very precise, resulting in the scene flickering in and out in big chunks as you move/rotate.

Only happened as of the latest RC with me, no other system changes were made than the upgrade to 1.18.3(5). I have since upgraded to the newly released 100.14.19 Nvidia driver but same effect.

I have tried turning on/off every feature presented in the graphics prefs.
I have tried disabling all combinations of graphics-related features in the startup script.

I filed a bug on this via the internal bug reporting system

System:
Debian/Testing with some stuff pulled in from Unstable after the issue surfaced to check for a local version-related solution
Nvidia 7600/256
AMD Sempron 2400+ / 1G RAM


Oh, and Hazy. Can you edit the title of the thread from the very general "Problem on Linux" to something like "Parts of scene missing randomly" - despite having this exact same problem, I almost skipped the thread because it was titled so generally :-)

It's the mesa drivers. The unstable drivers must of hit Lenny.

use the last version of the mesa stuff and pin it for now.

see an older post here /263/7f/210206/1.html

Johnnie Carling is right, me thinks.

I recall now the MESA packages dropped through into Testing recently - about the right time.

I often pull minor upgrades of non-critical stuff in from Unstable, but I explicitly waited for MESA to move to Testing of its own accord, obviously still too soon :-/ Will keep an eye out for new MESA showing up in Unstable.
