[gradsusr] Grads 2.1.a3 - Problem plotting Intel graphic

[Simone Montagnani]

Hi all, 

I'm posting here after days of searching and testing with no results. 

I have a specific problem that seems to affect Grads 2.1.a3 ( but I think even the latest versions ). 

I can reproduce it, with my specific input files like with the official grads test too. 

Here are some details of my tests: 

Hardware: 

PC Lenovo with Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4170 CPU with integrated Intel graphics. 

PC HP DC7900 ( old 2008 model with Intel graphics too ) 

Software: 

O.S. Linux Ubuntu 16.04 

Kernel 4.4 & Kernel 4.5 

With and without Intel graphics update tool 2.0.2 installed 

Used Grads 2.1.a3 as binary downloaded from your site or package from ubuntu 16.10 via apt pinning . 

Intel update tool packages installed:

Problem: 

I cannot graph correctly the image, in attach the results with model.ctl file used as a test. 

With grads 2.0 no problem everything is ok in this PCs. 

I think it's a Intel graphic problem, but Kernel upgrades , Intel drivers updates doesn't change anything. 

Do you have any ideas? 


I cannot use other distributions , I use grads without problems on various Fedora and CentOS servers, but in this case I need it to work with this Ubuntu version and hardware! 

Any help is really appreciated, 

Regards all 

Simone
