  Mosaic Preview

Greetings,

I think there might be some kind of problem ... here's my observations:

I'm rendering a scene (no radiosity) using these command line options:
+sp64 +ep16 +bs16

I'd expect to get several course looking passes before the final render,
instead I get a solid colored display that blinks several times (the
number of times I'd expect with the sp/ep settings I'm using) then a
final pass with the expected behavior (smaller blocks being rendered
because I'm using +bs16 rather than the default of +bs32)

While I'm on the subject ... radiosity pretrace uses mosaic preview to
display the results of the pretrace steps right? I see this same
behavior (the solid colored display blinking, but it changes color with
each pass) before the final pass is rendered.

I WAS running a customized beta37a compiled on openSUSE 11.2 and decided
to give the last officially released linux  (beta 35a) a try to see if
it was something I did, so I uninstalled my beta37a and built 35a (after
extending the expire) and still see the same behavior.

Can anyone else confirm this?

Cheers Jim
