Can't recall what the original problem was, sorry. Beryl is not familiar to me, and my short-term memory storage for any particular mailing list is probably less than a day. It seems that many of the user questions these days are in regards to maps not displaying or maps not showing up in the map chooser. Perhaps we need a map debugging section for our Wiki that will show how to debug these sorts of problems one step at a time? Things like: *) How to verify that either wget or libcurl are installed/working. *) Checking the ~/.xastir/tmp directory for downloaded maps. *) How to find out which map libraries are compiled in. *) Setting the timeout for internet maps. *) Debugging GM/IM problems with displaying maps. *) VNC colordepth problems displaying maps. *) Transparency problems with radar maps. *) Map levels. *) Turning off automaps. Just little stuff like that... There's probably more I forgot, but we can add them as they come up. -- Curt, WE7U.
