Description Jason Haar 2009-03-25 23:05:41 UTC 
Hi there

I'm running FC10 on a Dell D430 laptop with an Intel 945GM video card, and when I try to play alienarena, it works (slowly) for around 30 seconds and then nearly freezes. The game becomes nearly totally unresponsive (around 60 sec to notice a keyclick) - however the audio merrily continues at normal pace.

When it exits, you see the following error

Mesa 7.3-devel implementation error: i915_program_error: Exceeded max nr indirect texture lookups
Please report at bugzilla.freedesktop.org
Sending shutdown to 69.143.100.63:27900


I have read bug 11131 which was to do with the same error from wine-based WOW. Someone there said if a similar bug was found with a different app, it should be reported separately - so here it is :-)

BTW: alienarena is based on openarena, is native Linux (not wine!), and on my laptop, openarena works just fine. So hopefully this will give you guys a more useful mechanism to track down the issue.

I wanna blow up some aliens! ;-)

Thanks

Jason

Works fine for me as far as I can tell with Mesa master.  Please provide the information requested in http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html to see if we can reproduce the problem.

I likely fixed this bug in Mesa with:

commit 91d0020eecb78ef2984fd0afafc5d555c0e957d8

    i915: Refine the texture indirect lookup accounting.

Closing since it works with current Mesa, and there's a likely specific fix for the problem.
