thanks, will try...LetterRip wrote:I think it means 8 MB free, not total.
try to turn down the number of colors used by Mac OS X, - Unfortunately OS X and Blender have different opengl contexts so you need all of the ram required by OS X plus an additional 8 MB for Blender.

I have a hard time believing that OSX uses 48+ megs of video ram while doing nothing but trying to run blender.
Weird.
i forgot to mention that the main machine that i use Blender on, is a iMac 20" G5 w/ a 64MB video card... basically the same as the mini's... So it does not seem like it's a video ram issue for real - but i wonder...LetterRip wrote:I think it means 8 MB free, not total.

I am managing that machine w/ VNC when this happens, so that i can experiment w/ Network (distributed) rendering...
So maybe VNC creates an 'emulated' memory space??
Operating systems: OpenSuSE Linux 10.0 / FreeBSD 6.1
Graphics card: Ati Radeon 9200SE (with direct rendering on both systems)
Driver version: 8.28.8 (from www.ati.com) / open source driver for FreeBSD
Funcionality: Blender 2.42 (linux) / Blender 2.41 FreeBSD:
I did not experience any problems with either yafray or Blender on Linux, FreeBSD-Blender works nice (except a small issue with the dotted line of the camera when you are in camera-view) - I do not have Yafray installed on FreeBSD so I cannot say anything about it.

ATI x700 pro
win xp sp2
1 gig ram
AMD 3000
it ran with I believe the CAT 5.4 atioglxx.dll driver
I installed any CAT driver to a temp, then found the ogl driver;
atioglxx.dl_
found expand.exe(16kb) and copied this
Then went to DOS mode;
c> expand atioglxx.dl_ c: atioglxx.dll
Then copied this to \system32 and \dllcache folders.
I just bought the new ATI 1950pro videocard and couldn't get Blender to work with the latest driver CAT 7.1. So I tried a previous driver and found that the
(CAT 6.11 atioglxx.dll) worked with the CAT 7.1 driver.
And now Blender 2.43 works!!!!

OS windows xp sp2
ATI Radeon 8500 (128meg) "I know, an oldie."
drivers 6.11
6-11-pre-r300_xp-2k_dd_ccc_wdm_38185 is the entire .exe name which also includes the catalyst control center. You cannot, to my knowledge, just DL the drivers seperately.
The control panel part of the package causes problems with Blender's UI on my system. I went into add and remove programs and uninstalled the catalyst control center and the UI problems were fixed.
I use Rage3d tweaker to control the vid card settings without the Cat CC

Operating system: Windows XP Pro
Graphics card: ATI Radeon Xpress 1150
Catalyst® Version: 07.2
Driver Packaging Version: 8.342-070202a1-041238C-ATI
OpenGL Version 6.14.10.6347
Funcionality: (Blender Version 2.43) Very sluggish, but no errors in the display like colors or stripes and such just very slow.
These are the specs on my laptop Dell Inspiron 1501. Games run great and smooth exept Blender. Maybe this problem is caused by a simple setting, but I dont know which one.

Blender Ver 2.44 - Problems with redrawing windows, also after render finishes the render window goes black and needs to be clicked on to make the render appear.

Blender Ver 2.42 - OK
P.S. Just an idea, should we run a blender benchmark - ie, render a standard fluid sim or animation sequence and compare times? I was planning on doing this so I can compare performance in Blender between Windows and Solaris etc.
And is there any way we could benchmark the hardware render (i haven't touched the gaming side of blender)

Blender Ver 2.44 - problems with the redrawing around the cursor. That's quite annoying but the real issue is the selecting (B-Key) isn't redrawn properly. The lines don't get erased. The same problem occured with Ver 2.43 and this is a screenshot showing it:
Difference between 2.44 and 2.43 is that the lines are now blue instead of pink.
