Hi all, I have Gentoo Linux 2.6.9 running on a 1 GHz Pentium III, with an ATI Radeon Mobility M6 card. 1 or 2 years ago, I remember having FlightGear working properly. Now, I have no success, and someone on the IRC channel recommend I forward my issues to this list.
First, the good news. If I delete all the terrain files, FlightGear starts, and runs with very acceptable framerates---although I'm just in the middle of a giant ocean. The bad news, is that with terrain files, it either doesn't start at all, or starts with frame rates on the order of 1 per every 10 seconds. When it doesn't start, it's killed by the kernel for exhausting all of my 500MB of ram and 1GB of swap (ouch!). I've tried running it with everything disabled I could think of: specular highlighting, textures, enhanced lighting, etc. etc.. It would still either fail to start, or start and be unusably slow. glxgears gives me 700fps (as good as it's ever given me), and I have xorg 6.8, and the xorg ati drivers (the ati drivers don't support my card). I've tried lots of places without complicated terrain (i.e., not just san fran). Thanks very much for any help! I long to be in the FlightGear skies once more... -Wes _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
