The quality slider didn't have any effect that I could see.

Why that should be the case, I don't know. I poked around and found Typhoon Labs' Shader Designer app which runs on Linux. From trying some sample vertex / fragment shaders it looks like my system supports up to version 120 for both. The FG shader files are all tagged at #version 120 so that's good. I loaded several of FG's fragment and vertex shaders into Shader Designer. Some of them seemed to run, maybe - kind of hard to tell. The tree shaders produced some funky sparse black mesh patterns. Some small example shaders I got off the Net ran ok. So at least the card / open source driver look like they're *capable* of running shaders. Of course it's a long distance from that, to actually running real shaders in a real app. Reminds me of when I tried to learn OpenGL programming - it was such an achievement when my little program displayed anything at all besides a black rectangle. > > I don't see anything in the FlightGear log and I don't have enough > experience parsing X server logs to diagnose the root cause. > > Sorry I can't be of more help. > > -Stuart No problem. I really appreciate you, Thorsten and Arnt taking a look.
