Glitchy Graphics
Okay, i know I have a terrible video card, but is there a work around???
lspci | grep ATI
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY
as you can see, I get block graphics, however rendering seems to be working okay!

I'm not sure if it's the same problem, but check this thread: http://forums.introversion.co.uk/defcon ... light=font.
Bert posted a font mod there that might fix it.
Also, what driver are you using? vesa, frglx or the open-source ATi? Posting your xorg.conf might help, also.

Yeah, strangely enough that's on my mobility radeon laptop.
I kinda half expected that problem to come up - if you look closely at your first screenshot (in particular, the box around the Message of the Day in the corner, but also any of the menus) you'll see that the highlighting/border of the box is wrong. Compare with this:
That's from my desktop which runs it correctly. Look how the borders on the laptop screenshot are different. Something is clearly wrong :/
And you say it works fine with the radeon driver? Interesting, I'll test that out on my laptop when I have time!

just that you dont need the small font patch with the radeon drivers,
both the ati and radeon driver have the texture problem...
oh well...
I'll have to forget Nuclear Winter, and get back to Global Warming...
I haven't tried it myself, but the windows version _might_ work in wine - maybe the windows texture workarounds are inherent in the wine implentation as well. Give it a shot, I've had linux-compatible games glitch but be fine in wine before.

Hmm... I've got a xubuntu 6.06 CD lying around, I could send that via air mail
But that does sound like it could be an issue with newer drivers... strange that support for NP2 textures would be taken out, though.
Yeah, it's certainly a pisser.....
Shall we Nuke ATI's HQ?

BOOM!
Seriously, has anyone got any example source code that use NTOP2 textures, so I can report this
as a bug?
