opengl flickering image in labtop

**revathy** · 03-31-2010, 12:47 AM

Hii friends,
I am just frustrated with the flickering type or moving ting in my opengl image.. When i use in my system it is working perfectly But when i use in my labtop My opengl image contains a moving type black flcikering image.. I tried changing the display size to glut_DOUBLE.Then the flickering image stops but my mouse func is not working. the passive mousefunc is not working. when i am moving my mouse value should be displayed in text box but it is not displayed when i am using glut_Double...
Please help me out
If i use glut_SINGLE then mouse func works but a flicker image appears..Whats is the solution for it..Please help me out

- be sure to *never* write explicitely to GL_FRONT or GL_BACK buffers.
- be sure to swapbuffers whenever you want the display to update

Can you show the code and some code context around your text box update ?

Thanks its workin..
I put glutswapBufers only in one place..Now that u mentioned to put wr i must update i did it...... got it

**revathy** · 03-31-2010, 10:17 PM

no its not working again..its just working on system not labtop...i dnt no y..i changed everywr glutSwapBuffers then too..
i am pasting few code please help me out

Do not forget that after a swapbuffers, the framebuffer content is undefined, you will have to clear and redraw everything.

**revathy** · 04-04-2010, 11:23 PM

I didnt get you.. So how should i correct it in my code..Can you please explain me in detail..I am just beginner not sure.

**ZbuffeR** · 04-05-2010, 03:00 AM

What you did not get in "clear and redraw everything" ?
