I have a brand new Lenovo T60 notebook with a ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 graphic card on Windows XP Professional. Supports DirectX9 with Shader modell (version 3).
When I run Panda3d in Directx9 mode I get the following crash:
:display:wdxdisplay9(error): adapter #0 CheckDeviceType failed for surface fmt D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8
:display:wdxdisplay9(error): adapter #0 CheckDeviceType failed for surface fmt D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8
:display:wdxdisplay9(fatal): Can't create any screen buffers, bailing out.
:display:wdxdisplay9(error): fatal: must be trying to create two fullscreen windows: not supported
Assertion failed: _d3d_device != NULL, file panda/src/dxgsg9/dxGraphicsStateGuardian9.cxx, line 2382
When I use DirectX8 and OpenGL it works, but the shaders demo’s dont work (driver reports no shader support) and the advanced texture sample does not show the teapot but a distorted picture with wired colors.
ATI graphic driver is on the newest version, I already re-installed DirectX9 also. All Windows updates are also installed.
I have no idea how to handle the problem. I bought the notebook for having more 3d power (my old notebook had a on-board graphic card) and now I’m quite disappointed, of course.
an additional error occured now (I assume that reinstalling DirectX9 caused it):
Don’t have the time to dig into the details… But it seems that - somehow - the d3d-device could not be created…
In meantime I installed some heavy 3d games (like Counstrike 1.6) to see if I have a basic issue with the drivers/graphic card. But works… not fast, but usable.
