--- Comment #25 from Alexander Dorofeyev alexd4@inbox.lv 2008-04-26 18:02:23 --- Can't reproduce this on geforce 2 mx. Menu doesn't draw with readtex mode on that card though. One possible way to find the cause of hang would be to 1) first use git-bisect to find why it was dying at startup in 0.9.29 2) Then, use git bisect again to find what cause Thief to hang (applying fix for death at startup if needed).
BTW about GL_EXT_pixel_buffer_object, actually it seems to be not that certain that this particular extension is causing a hang. And, unimplemented support for an extension isn't likely to cause a hang anyway. Such a thing would be more likely to cause bad performance or missing graphics, but not a hang. Commenting out extensions present in newer hardware but missing in the attached tnt2 glxinfo didn't seem to make much difference.
