First , it is not because i am unable to write English correctly, i can't understand it written. Suggesting to ask for removing Rembrandt gives enough to conclude. On the other side i did not asked to remove ALS only to develop in the good direction. Which is a huge difference.

To cite http://wiki.flightgear.org/Supported_Video_Cards "you > should be fine with any Nvidia or AMD/ATI products having 512-1024MB of > *dedicated* video memory". Which is the problem, giving a list of GPU supposed to be compliant, is the most difficult. First look at OpenGL compliance. Don't be confident in such list. The best would be to refer to the experience from others, when we can. I had first before using FG an ATI card, at that time i had a lot of difficulties to get a driver working with Linux. When i had to update my equipment 3 years ago i did not refer to any list but followed the suggestions ( from FG users) to choose an NVIDIA GPU. I can notice the permanent work in progress with the OpenGL drivers there: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/ that was enough to secure the choice. When i get enough money my next equipment will be also with NVIDIA, for the same reason.

If sitting at Zeralda, if i have some time for visiting my country one variant is visit Constantine, the other is to visit Bou Saada both are not the same direction. To travel i have several options: i can choose on the map: paths or roads or highway, i can choose at my home: mule (the best friend of my children) or motorcycle (a collector one ) or a Mercedes ( an old one ). > > So why is ALS a problem for a user who doesn't want to use it? > > Regards, > Stefan BTW: after the points by Vivian, i am just reading the last Stuart Buchanan's Mail which can close the debat. Though it does not modify my feeling ALS development related. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
