I am trying to run OpenDX on a borrowed machine and I am getting strange behavior. I wondered if anyone has tried DX on this hardware and experienced any difficulties. Of course, it's with h/w and a configuration I haven't seen before that someone else set up...
It has an Intel Pentium 4 (1.7 GHz), 1 GB RAM, FireGL4, RedHat 7.1, XFree86 4.0.3. As it's borrowed (and I can't keep it), I'm not in a position to make major changes. The primary problems are: 1. hardware rendering doesn't work -- core dumps. I did upgrade to the latest version of the FireGL driver from ATI. The only other graphics hardware I've used on Linux is from nVidia (several cards), all of which worked fine. 2. Large networks hang when running from the ui. They run just fine in the executive, so I know the nets are fine. Of course, this is using s/w rendering and the nets work on other machines. I am using the 4.1.3 rpm (version 2) provided by Dave Thompson. This version works on Pentium-III RH systems with nVidia cards. Any suggestions? Thanks.
