It's probably has nothing in common with your problem, but on my system
(2.6.32.23-170.fc12.i686, upgraded from F11) I've aliased blender as
follows:
~]$ which blender
alias blender='LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 blender'
My videocard is:
product: RV350 AP [Radeon 9600]
vendor: ATI Technologies Inc
(driver is radeon)
Before doing that I had some problems with blender (i.e. white screen
instead of coordinate grid, empty boxes where different menus and popus
should be, etc.). Now it works like a charm.
