Martin isn't kidding. You have to pick _one_ route, either the open source one or the closed source one, and get your whole 3D system, from user libraries through to kernel modules, lined up to support just that execution path ... end to end. That's the key point. I can give you advice on the fglrx route (which is what I'm using), Martin can give you advice on the X.org route (which he knows). However, if you don't choose and strip back your system, you'll fail. Rmember: Linux has compatibility way beyond Microsoft, which means that everything will do its best to get it to work (badly) when misconfigured instead of simply not working and spewing errors all over the place. All it takes is one 'compatible' element in the path to break DRI. If DRI doesn't come up, it means you have missed some key element. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
