FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I am sure lots of people have had this problem, it never seems to leave me but....
In my game, some of the Inventory Images are missing: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/102401091/Screenshot%20-%20140613%20-%2012%3A42%3A53.png if someone could help me fix this, i would be very happy. My computer specs are:
Xubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin
250 GB Hardrive
1GB of RAM
I have no idea what my Graphics Card is, but it is good, it will handle all of the fancy things (except shaders) in the minetest settings menu with no lag.
I have tried disabling Preload Items Visual, nothing. I have also tried disabling the texture atlas, still nothing.
Please Help.

What options are ticked on Minetest, Josh?

(Go on Minetest and click options)

this couldnt solved by the options this could happen to each player wich uses 0.4.7
this happens on windows and linux (more or less randomly). just try to leave and rejoin the server
the only solution is use an older client eg. 0.4.5
:(

Type this in a terminal to see:


I doubt it is good anyway, if you get that problem. 8)

Type this in a terminal to see:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

lspci | grep VGA

Here is what came out of terminal:
\01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] (rev 01)

I doubt this is a problem with my graphics card, maybe a client issue. And the only things i have enabled in the settings are Smooth Lighting

Googling on: ati rv280 radeon 9200 pro :

--> "AMD dropped proprietary driver support for that card back in the Ubuntu 9.x days. Any Ubuntu release since then can only utilize the open-source Radeon drivers -- which do not provide much acceleration."

+ 1 GB RAM --> Maybe it's not enough without a stronger GPU

But I'm (very) far from an expert on this topic. I hope someone has good advice how to optimize the performance and solve this problem.

It is very likely to be a a graphic card/driver problem, for the simple reason that with the same distro, it does not happen to me.
You're using a 8 year old or so graphics card with an open source driver, what did you expect?
