Seriously, a 5 years old computer is now considered outdated? I used
such sky observer software on an old Pentium MMX 166 MHz 20 years ago,
but I can't with an Intel Core 2 G33 chipset? Are you serious?

You mean "--mesa-mode" and "--safe-mode"? Sorry, but there is no such
options with the Stellarium package provided by Debian.

NAME
stellarium - A real-time realistic planetarium
SYNOPSIS
stellarium [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
Stellarium is a free GPL software which renders realistic skies in real
time with OpenGL. It is available for Linux/Unix, Windows
and MacOSX. With Stellarium, you really see what you can see with your
eyes, binoculars or a small telescope.
OPTIONS
-v, --version
Print program name and version and exit.
-h, --help
Print a brief synopsis of program options and exit.
-c, --config-file file
Use file for the config filename instead of the default config.ini.
-u, --user-dir dir
Use dir instead of the default user data directory
($HOME/.stellarium/ on *nix operating systems).
--verbose
Even more diagnostic output in logfile (esp. multimedia handling).
-t, --fix-text
May fix text rendering problems.
-d, --dump-opengl-details
Dump information about OpenGL support to logfile. Use this is you
have graphics problems and want to send a bug report.
-f, --full-screen yes|no
With argument yes or no over-rides the full screen setting in the
config file. The setting is saved in the config-file and as
such will be the default for subsequent invocations of Stellarium.
--screenshot-dir dir
Set the directory into which screenshots will be saved to dir,
instead of the default (which is $HOME on *nix operating
systems).
--startup-script script
Specify name of startup script.
--home-planet planet-name
Specify observer planet. planet-name is an English name, and should
refer to an object defined in the ssystem.ini file.
--altitude alt
Specify the initial observer altitude, where alt is the altitude in
meters.
--longitude lon
Specify the initial observer longitude, where lon is the longitude.
The format is illustrated by this example: +4d16'12" which
refers to 4 degrees, 16 minutes and 12 arc seconds East. Westerly
longitudes should be prefixed with "-".
--latitude lat
Specify the initial observer latitude, where lat is the latitude.
The format is illustrated by this example: +53d58'16.65"
which refers to 53 degrees, 58 minutes and 16.65 arc seconds North.
Southerly latitudes should be prefixed with "-".
--list-landscapes
Print a list of landscape names and exit.
--landscape name
Start Stellarium using landscape name. Refer to --list-landscapes
for possible names.
--sky-date date
Specify sky date in format yyyymmdd.
--sky-time time
Specify sky time in format hh:mm:ss.
--fov fov
Specify the field of view (fov degrees).
--projection-type p
Specify projection type, p. Permitted values of p are: equalarea,
stereographic, fisheye, cylinder, mercator, perspective, and
orthographic.
--restore-defaults
Delete existing config.ini and use defaults.
RETURN VALUE
0 Completed successfully.
not 0
Some sort of error.
FILES
Note: file locations on non-*nix operating systems (include OSX) may
vary. Please refer to the Stellarium User Guide for more
details, as well as information on how to customise the Stellarium data
files.
/usr/share/stellarium/
This is the Installation Data Directory set at compile-time.
$HOME/.stellarium/
This is the User Data Directory, which may be over-ridden using
command line option -u. It contains the user's settings, extra
landscapes, scripts, and can also be used to over-ride data files
which are provided with the default install.
$HOME/.stellarium/config.ini
The default main configuration file is config.ini. Refer to -c above
to use a different filename and to -u to use a different
User Data Directory.
$HOME/
The default screenshot directory. Refer to --screenshot-dir to use a
different path.
