Blender glitch

Fedora 10 (Cambridge)
Thinkpad R61i, Intel X3100

Sluggish interface and strange glitches make Blender unusable on this combination. Shame I had to revert to using Windows XP for my blender project. (Windows had it's own set of glitches but it was workable)
I don't recommend an Intel graphics card to anyone. It's a pile of buggy drivers and crappy performance.

do you have phyton installed?

[ohforfsckssake]

Yes I have. It's actually a problem with OpenGL support. Intel's linux drivers support OpenGL 1.2 which is ancient (the specification is 10 years old).

i don't realy see the glitch :(

w00t first to coment!

The cube should be properly shaded but it's only a contour.

Also, notice how the menus disappear with a sort of tiling pattern. The whole application freezes every time I open a menu, because of that.

Both make Blender unusable.

if the glich is no detail in the object try pressing shift T do bring back detail works for vertex paint

have you tried tweaking the seting,you know there is a hidden tab above the top panel,you need to pull it down,there you can find all kind of setings,i'm sure you can find a option to choose your draw mode,like D3D or software or something
