Please let me rephrase because you obviously didn't get the point: It is _not_ necessary to eploy a NVidia card to "be up and running in 20 minutes without hassle". This also works with stock XFree86 et least as shipped with SuSE-9.0. I ran the whole stuff without modifying X11 as well and it works fine for me (including DList-improvement). Maybe you should better have a look who claims that much memory on your system that makes it "swaps like mad even with 512M". > Yes, hard locking is an interesting drawback.

SuSE never shipped the broken XFree86-4.3 stuff, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
