In my opinion, you are best off getting Leopard. Apple will not be updating OpenGL drivers for Tiger from this point on. Working OpenGL drivers is by far the most important aspect in my opinion.
I've already added a bunch of documentation to the OSGWiki. On just Leopard issues: http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Support/PlatformSpecifics/MacOSX10.5 However, don't misinterpret this as 'everything works fine on Tiger'. For example, we talk about lack of 64-bit support on Leopard with the current state of Mac/OSG code. We don't discuss it much on Tiger because 64-bit OpenGL wasn't supported at all on the OS. Also, the OSX/OSG Readme we ship with the binary packages attempt to document all the major OS X specific problems we've come across. -Eric On 12/12/07, Andreas Goebel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Berg, Michael schrieb: > > I don't think the problems weren't just 64-bit.
