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

freeglut (fgfs): Failed to create cursor
freeglut  ERROR:  Function <glutSetCursor> called without first calling

glxinfo is massively wordy ...
