Quite a few users (including myself) are reporting a black pit=
ch texture
problem in Sports Interactive Games' Linux support forum
(http://community.sigames.com/forumdisplay.php/344-Linux-Specific-=
Issues). At
least there are 10 similar bug reports.
The bug seems to affect users with intel, radeon and nouveau free graphics =
but
some catalyst users (including myself as well, both with Catalyst 13.4 and
13.11 beta1) as reporting that as well. In any case, the developers claim t=
hat
is a drivers issue since the supported configuration is working OK for them
(ubuntu 12.04 with Steam's reference drivers -I don't know exactly what dri=
ver
version that recommendation tells-):

As a result of this bug the pitch is shown completely black. I am attaching=
a
screenshot depicting the problem. It's obvious that the pitch should be gre=

but I can't attach a reference correct rendering because I can't get the ri=

I am experiencing this problem with two different systems:
System 1 (laptop):
Kubuntu 13.04 64bit fully upgraded, mesa 10.0~git1310161456.6e444a from oib=
af's
ppa, on a Radeon HD 4570, intel pentium T4400, 4GB RAM, linux 3.12 rc6. Dri=
ver:
r600g.
System 2 (desktop):
Kubuntu 13.04 64bit fully upgraded, mesa 10.0~git1310161456.6e444a from oib=
af's
ppa but recompiled with llvm 3.4 git (OpenGL showing 3.0 support), on a Rad=
eon
HD 7870, AMD FX-8150, 16GB RAM, linux 3.12 rc6. Driver: radeonsi.
Radeonsi is showing additional problems which I will be reporting in a sepa=
rate
bug report.
Please, let me know if anything else is needed.
