I just got OpenGL running again after a disastrous mess with a Linux kernel update that broke the Nvidia driver. I am using their "legacy" driver for a GeForce4 MX440 board. After going back to the old kernel and reinstalling the driver, I finally got glxgears to run again without crashing Xorg. But, Flight Gear doesn't run. I know I've seen this error before, but can't remember what to do...
I am running fgfs 0.9 until I get a new graphics card with more memory. glxgears DOES run, at ~2100 FPS. When I start fgfs, I get : $ fgfs Model Author: Unknown Creation Date: 2002-01-01 Version: $Id: c172p.xml,v 1.17 2006-03-13 15:27:14 ehofman Exp $ Description: Cessna C-172 freeglut (fgfs): Failed to create cursor freeglut ERROR: Function <glutSetCursor> called without first calling 'glutInit'. glxinfo is massively wordy ...
