<p>I also got the problem, running Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit with proposed kernel (2.6.38-9.43, currently) and ParaView 3.10.1. I have an Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller, what I would consider a low-end graphics card. <br>
</p>
<p>Creating a slice from a rectangular mesh works, but displacing it with the mouse makes the screen lock up, and eventually go black. It seems to keep responding on key presses. In kern.log I found traces of compiz segfaulting on the video driver, among a bunch of other errors regarding dri:</p>
<p>Sep 4 23:42:46 ivo-laptop kernel: [10387.689478] compiz[6970]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f2d7a480afe sp 00007fff8aa48b00 error 4 in i965_dri.so[7f2d7a412000+ac000]<br></p>
<p>Stopping compiz makes it possible to move the slice by mouse without locking things up. Something strange happens, still, as the background turns black at the moment it would turn semi-transparent on my nvidia machine.</p>
<p>Using immediate mode rendering doesn't help, unfortunately.</p>
<p>Cheers,<br>

The options I would try are using mesa or go to Edit->Settings->Render View and check Use Immediate Mode Rendering to on. Both of these are normally slower but if it's a memory allocation problem these may get you past that.<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
When using the slice of clip tool on a 3D view if I try to adjust the plane my display crashes. I suspect this has something to do with the relatively low-end graphics card on my system and there is some toggle or switch I'm missing, but can't for the life of me work out what it is. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.<br>
<br>
For reference I'm running 3.11.1 on Ubuntu-64 bit laptop <br>
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
