The fsv-0.9-1.i386.rpm works (albiet slowly)
on my oldest, slowest machine with LM-6.1 and extras
The fsv-0.9-1mdk rpm from contribs on my faster machine
with LM7.0x/Cooker does not perform as well.
It gave no error messages while installing.
My initial attempt to install the non-mdk rpm
on the newer machine gave some errors re :
libMesaGL.so.3 and libMesaGU.so.3 missing
So the older machine has those,The newer machine does not.
The older machine has a better video card with 8mgs
The newer machine has 4mgs.(Silly isn't it!)
Question 1# Refresh my memory (again) how to locate the
package(s) containing the missing libs. An 'rpmfind' turned
up a SUSE rpm and I wasnt sure whether to go ahead?
When packages are installed on the newer machine
I will first test then uninstall the mdk rpm,
and install the i386rpm to see if the 3d style rendering
works and if not will know the video card "can't cut it"
This file viewer is very "eye-catching" and "snazzy" and
if it really works could be another enticement to lure
away potential converts from the "DarkSide". Whether functionally
useful on a faster machine remains for others with more
horsepower to decide.
