What graphic are you talking about. When I run it from a command line all
I see is text scrolling by as it's working. The only graphics I've seen
are when I initiate setiathome with the Tcl script xseti. That starts the
hole thing working right off and will even contact the seti server and
download new files and upload the one's that are finished. But with only
64MB of RAM running both the GUI front end and the binary at the same time
it tends to draw TOO heavily on my system to the point where X crashes if
I attempt to run too much else. I can "just" run a terminal window running
Pine while the text mode is running. Although it causes Sendmail to crash
and not function correctly.
