I don't know, but I'm confident that it's fixed now. The bug was already reported in the 2.95.2 times, so it should even be fixed in 2.95.3. The versions prior to gcc3.* are generally poor w.r.t. c++ code generation. They are said to produce huge but slow code, compared to, for example, the Intel compiler. When they were written, not many people used c++ at all. Especially with KDE that has changed and the gcc people are now focusing more on c++. There are rumors, that a brand new version supporting precompiled headers (PCH) compiles KDE 12 times(!) faster than before. Then there is that objprelink stuff, that makes loading shared objects a lot faster. OK, both improvements are pretty irrelevant for fgfs, but still. The most important thing, though, is the generated code that should be perceivably faster. I'm looking forward to gcc3.0.4++ ... :-) > > On the other hand, these crashes never locked my voodoo card, > > so you are possibly talking of another problem.

OK, it hangs sometimes (not reproducable), but a SysRq-e solves that problem, albeit not quite sensible. ;-) m. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
