Hi Curtis,As one of the people having problems (I'm even having *another* problem when I attempt to disable the clouds!!, see below), what kind of info do you need from us? I'm using FC4 with Xorg 6.8.2. I've got an onboard Intel 845G chipset. I've already posted output from glxinfo. Anything else? Any tests I should run? As for that new problem, here's the output: "FATAL: PUI: No Live Interface! Forgot to call puInit ?"What's going on here? Thanks,-David ChipmanPS: Curtis, I understand the situation you're in, I'm sorry if I'vecome across harsh. Please, what do you need from me? Thanks again,
It's early here and I haven't had any caffeine yet, so I may not be able to say anything helpful. Apologies in advance if that is the case. Historically (on linux) if you wanted any sort of decent chance to run complex opengl code, you needed an nvidia or ati card on your computer. I'm sure that situation is improving, but to be honest, I have no knowledge of the intel 845G chipset myself. How much video ram does it have? How well developed are the open source drivers? It would be interesting to see if something like the xplane linux demo (www.x-plane.com) would run on this hardware. glxgears can tell you something, but it only excercises a tiny subset of the opengl api.
I realize that often people don't have a choice up front for what goes into a machine so you need to make the best with what you have, but if I were you, I'd seek out some more complex opengl programs and make sure they run ok. Maybe tuxracer would be a good one to look at first since that comes with fedora. If that gives you nice smooth frame rates, then maybe try the x-plane demo. If that works well, then there's no excuse why flightgear shouldn't also work well on your hardware and that would point to a problem in our code.
