I'm running 1.0-4191 under Linux and 41.09 under Windows. I noticed that while setting HOUDINI_OGL_DBL_BUFFER_FIX to 1 solved the refresh problems in Linux, in Windows the interface runs much smoother without setting the variable or with it set to 0.

Thanks! Setting HOUDINI_OGL_DBL_BUFFER_FIX to 1 did the trick. Houdini runs much, much smoother now.

Thanks again,

Hi,

I have a small problem with the UI of the Linux version of Houdini Apprentice (both 5.5.208 and 5.5.230). While most of the time it works just fine, in some cases (for example, when switching desktops from the Desks menu and when selecting commands by clicking the icons on the toolbars) the UI needs longer then expected to redraw, sometimes even frustratingly long. The 3D performance of the UI is excelent, it's just the refresh of the toolbars, etc. that slows it down. I've set double buffering on, and line antialiasing off (not that the second should matter) in the general preferences. I have a 1.2 GHz Athlon with a GeForce 2 MX400 runing Mandrake 8.2 and the latest NVidia drivers. I've also tested the Windows version of Houdini under Windows 2000 with SP1 and the latest NVidia drivers and the UI is much more responsive. Is anybody else having this problem and what can be done solve this?

Thanks in advance,
Goran
