OSGEarth Team Representatives-
testing the last 4.5b2 build of the LiveDVD has shown that osgearth
is not drawing correctly
In one tester's environment, osgearth runs, but the surface of the
earth and blocky patches in the stars
are blank white, and do not update at all
Please verify this as soon as possible - suggestions or fixes welcome
otherwise osgearth may miss out on being on this LiveDVD version
Display problems are usually caused by missing OpenGL-Support. Maybe it was
tested in a virtual machine?

Pirmin,
yes Brian did test in a VM.
It might be the case that OSGEarth doesn't work without OpenGL support.
If that is the case, is it possible to fail gracefully? Eg: In a wrapper
bash script test for the existence of OpenGL. If it doesn't exist,
present up popup alert stating "This computer seems to be missing OpenGL
support is required to fully make use of OGLEarth. Elements of this
program will not work as expected."
