Thanks Group;
A check of xosview points out that the CPU is running at about 100%
continuously. That agrees with your above comments. So a upgreade may
be in order. To that, I will ask for good and bad stories about 64 bit
machine running SuSE 10.1 or the likes. Flightgear is finally running
even though I have done many things to find the joystick problem - it is
still there.
What I would like to know is an compiling problem and/or about programs
that will not run. SuSE has GCC 4.1.0 and the 64 bit lib64
