[Solved] Blender and issues with libpng & with NOUVEAU dri.

Question

Hi all!!! It's my first post here! I'm using archlinux by few months. Two days ago, after I updated my system, Blender began to work not well.
First, as shown in the image, it doesn't show me the whole 'welcome' image.

Second, as shown in the image, when I run a render, it doesn't show me the whole result, but only few parts.

When I run blender from command line it returns me this warning/error:
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
Someone suggested me to use 'optipng' to all png used by blender.
I applied it on all png found with
pacman -Ql blender | grep png
, but the result is the same.
Any idea??
Sorry for my english!!
Byeeee

Answer 1

Hi!  Someone on blender IRC channel shows me that this issue are about graphic drivers. In fact, in the portable version of blender there's a script called 'blender-softwaregl' that use a software implementation OpenGL to draw. Using this script blender works well, so graphic drivers are responsible for these issues.
Now, my graphic drivers are 'xf86-video-nouveau'.  Any idea on how resolve these issue??
P.S. During the famous update, also graphic drivers has been updated.
