redraw bug

[vinphend]

If i do something after elmergui startup, workspace is not updated. If i zoom (scroll wheel ) - it is updated. Elmer was installed from ubuntu 9.10 karmic repository. How can i fix it?

Hi,

What is the model and version of your graphics card and GL renderer? This information is reported by ElmerGUIlogger at start-up.

Does the same error occur if you switch desktop effects off (no Compiz)? The compositing window manager can make OpenGL applications useless depending on the graphics chip and other things (related discussion can be found e.g. from here)

With I disabled Compiz it seems to work fine. Thank you a lot for a quick answer! In logger i had found error:

Constructing ElmergridAPI... done
get fences failed: -1
param: 6, val: 0

an GL section is:

Initialize GL
Vendor: Tungsten Graphics, Inc
Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel(R) G33 GEM 20090326 2009Q1 RC2
Version: 1.4 Mesa 7.4

After fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 and Elmer installed from repository there is NO redraw bug. Compiz is on!
