*sigh*
This is a "known issue" that we don't know the solution to (besides
changing distros). The best we can tell, the problem is RedHat 7.x
specific. For some reason, Mesa or XFree86 is screwed up.
There is a test program called "gl-info" in the tests/ dir of the
FlightGear source. When you run that, you will probably see a line
like:
GL_RENDERER = "Mesa GLX Indirect"
That is *bad*. Mine says "GeForce2 GTS/AGP/SSE". When you can get
yours to say something besides Indirect rendering, FlightGear should run
just fine.
So, what do you do? So far, noone here knows. :-/ If you can figure
out a cure, I'm sure the FlightGear and plib -users lists would like to
hear the solution.
