In case it never made it thru, I repost: Hi, ..the first time I had FG-0.7.8 (w/ plib 1.4.1 and SimGear 0.0.16) up and running, X v4.0.3 ran away with about 97% cpu. FG appeared rock solid at 7 frames per minute in its window. As the same thing happened on my first FElt compile, I threw out X v4.0.3 in favor of X v4.1.0, and rebuilt FG accordingly. Since then, ./runfgfs dies "Cannot locate FG root directory (data)". ..my rig: ..hw: 8 MB ATI Rage IIC AGP video, 128 MB ram, amd k6-2 450 MHz, ps/2 mouse, Epox EP-MVP3G2 main board, standard small plug 105 key'ed-board. ..sw: Red Hat 7.1, on RH's own patched 2.4.3-12. ALL ERRATAS applied. I run X at 1600x1200x24bpp @ 60 fps, which "hangs" my half toasted Sony GDM-2038 "on its prop" and the 1/3 "yaw" is "stomped straight" with a custom modeline. Wee bit Alzheimer, the _very_ last time I tried vga, it took 22 hours to sync vga. 1600x1200 snaps up fine.
