The only time I recall this happening to me was because I was completely out of memory (I had 376 MBs at the time) and had to deal with it by increasing swap size and dealing with the extra lag from using swap. I would help test with this but my computer used for FlightGear died so I am stuck with an onboard intel graphics chip that isn't worth a lick. -- Michael Smith <mdsmi...@highland.net> (mdsmith2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
