I'm having something which *may* be similar. To check if it's the same issue,
please set the following environment variable, and run fgfs again:
OSG_GL_ERROR_CHECKING=ONCE_PER_ATTRIBUTE
And post the actual attribute number that is logged)

That sounds like a different issue to mine, but we shall see. In general, the
Ati drivers seem much stricter in checking state that the nVidia drivers accept
and tolerate.

That's strange indeed - as you say, the radar should not be used if not
included, since it can eat a few FPS to generate the texture. Its state-sets
are pretty simple, so I will be very interested to see what error is reported
once you set the environment variables above.
