Yup, now the Radeon X server survives 5 simultaneous 'glxgears' during startup of 'FlightGear' in the "freeze Radeon X server" configuration while moving 'Solace' over the screen. Am I the only one who is now happy with the stability of the X server or does anyone have similar experience ? Now the only apparent complication leftover is about 'dark lightning' in FlightGear. At the risk of telling an old tale I'd dare to post some words that I already used to annoy other members of this list ;-) Dieter N?tzel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Am Dienstag, 4.

Curt Olson once pointed to a possible bug in the TCL implementation and there are signs he might be right. When I start at 11 AM local time usually the terrain looks properly illuminated. Here you can get an idea how it should look like: http://www.de.flightgear.org/images/j3cub-departing-KNOW.jpg When you enable TCL, take off, bank the plane about 120 degree clockwise (yes, then you're pretty much flying top-down) and watch straight out of the cockpit, then you also see pretty illuminated terrain. How much you have to turn the plane to achieve this depends on the time of day ! I can achieve similar effect by setting the whole terrain to be shining without external light source (like the sun) in FlightGear - even at night, this looks cool ;-) Now Curt suggests that probably the TCL code does not handle the light source (sun) position properly - this would explain why the terrain appears to be shining throuh in certain directions, variying with the time of day. I took a screenshot which probably emphasizes this idea: http://document.ihg.uni-duisburg.de/bitmap/Radeon/Illumination_01.png This is taken at 11 AM local time in April - it looks pretty much the same in August. As you can see the lower right side of the body is well illuminated, even the fillet between the right wing and the body is bright. The terrain instead is hardly illuminated - it looks like the sun to be shining from below the surface, Thanks for your attention, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!
