    I have tried Blender in my powerbook g4 15" and can't see the text properly. It seems garbage symbols!
    If I click in full screen mode the text shows correct but when I joy with the GUI It becomes corrupted again.
    Any idea mates?

    Hi, I did have the same, you need to revert back to tinygl.library version 52.3 from 10.04.2014 as well as the r300.library version 52.5 from 22.05.2014, then it will work again!

    It´s a shame to have to "downgrade" my system only to use Blender. Yomgui! I need you! hehehehe

    Thanks rms for the info. I almost go crazy! ;)

    I have not used Blender on any platform so far, but demo'd it at the 2015 AmiWest Show for some of the people interested in what was included in the Chrysalis package. They noticed that it was a more recent version than they had available on AmigaOS4.1FE and also noticed the screen corruption, until I clicked anywhere on the screen and the text was then clear. I didn't play with it long enough to notice that the screen corruption returned, does it stay corrupted continuously after it becomes corrupted the 2nd time?

    I have wondered how steep the learning curve is for Blender, as I have always wanted to learn how to use a 3D drawing program more efficiently, and have even purchased an older pre-owned version of LightWave 3D for Windows (version 8 or 9 I think) at a greatly reduced price, but have not spent too much time learning it either, so far.

    Yes, the screen gets corrupted later. I have tried changing DPI in blender prefs but only works for a while.
    Would be nice to have a corrected version but Yomgui seems out of MorphOS world.
    I have LW 3.5 in MorphOS and is fantastic but my god, how old is It? ;)

    It's a pity. Tried some available Blender versions and no one shows right characters.
    I remind having tested Blender on previous MorphOS editions without problems. Where could this issue come from?

    You are right, that's the only one which currently runs.
    Sadly, it's interface is quite old. But worst is nothing.
