[Help] Crash when using my poor graphics card

Hi,

My graphics card is an onboard card. It displays other Ogre examples well, but has problem with PLSM. While begin running Demo_PagingLandScape2.exe on my computer, using onboard graphics card:

I found 2 threads on main Ogre forum about the same error but the problem is not similar.

Other Ogre examples work well. My other computer using other AGP graphics card runs the demo Demo_PagingLandScape2 well (Difference RenderSystem capabilities from my onboard-card: Hardware generation of mipmaps: yes).

I don't know where to begin debug on code, plz help me resolve the problem. Do I must buy or change my graphics card to support "Hardware generation of mipmaps"? Thanks.

your card incorrectly reports its capabilities, thus leading to errors as said here : http://www.ogre3d.org/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... 9074#59074

Seems you have either to patch Ogre or make Intel provides really gl/dx9 compatible drivers (perhaps a new driver version would suffice.).

Umh my card is exactly an Intel one. "Intel® 82865G Graphics Controller". The driver software CD included from the mainboard I bought from the computer shop 3 months ago. Driver dated 2003. I'm downloading the recent driver dated Aug 2005 from Intel's site, hope it affects I can't report the result now because it forces me to restart the computer now.

Please report so that we know if intel had make driver more dx/gl compliant (test both)

After updating the lastest driver (31/Aug/2005 on Intel site), the same error on DX9 as I listed above, but GL works (before updating both do not work).

I'm making some patchs in ogred3d9rendersystem.cpp to ensure what DX function DrawPrimitive or DrawIndexPrimitive made error exception.

But on GL not *all* texture formats work.

By pressing 'K' key to change texture formats:

*Texture Format:Image/InstantBaseTexture/InstantBaseTextureEdit: The terrain DOES NOT painted. Only blue background with debug/help form displayed on window.

*Texture Format:BaseTexture/BaseTexture2/Splatting/Spatting2/3/4...: The terrain painted OK. But the result a bit does not look like the one I saw from my 2nd computer.

Some logs:

Hi I have this error too. I am using a Radeon 9550 in D3D9.

thread problem is mainly about incorect driver support of opengl or Dx.
Ati Radeon should'nt have those problem provided you use latest drivers

did you disable vertex morphing, vertex compression and use only Image Texture Format ?
