Package: blender Version: 2.36-1 Severity: grave Bugs 239184 and 291888 seem to refer to an abhorrent behaviour which I also witness - namely that none of the widgets render correctly or at all. I'm setting the severity high as it does render the thing unusable.
I am running an X.org server w/DRI enabled, and the workaround in bug 239184 does resolve the problem for me. ie, launching like so: $ LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 blender gives me a useable interface again. This should perhaps be mentioned in a README.Debian or somesuch. I have a Matrox G450 and am using XFCE 4.2 (sometimes WM/DE's matter ;). I'm using the upstream X.org and dri.sf.net drivers from a package supplied here: deb http://www.nixnuts.net/files/ ./ deb-src http://www.nixnuts.net/files/ ./ Cheers, -- Matt (hoping this can close 3 bugs ;)
