On modern Linux distributions you would modify the master Xinit configuration file '/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc', Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -- ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

You could acomplish this: http://baron.flightgear.org/pipermail/flightgear-devel/2002-March/006012.ht ml That's how I used to run flightgear. In my bin folder I placed a script startfgfs that I could start from the console, which would start the x server, at a very low resolution and start flight gear. Of course, I could still use the startx for all the other things. Because no window manager runned (resources) and because my resolution was smaller (800*600) I got a noteable increase in frame rate. I used this procedure on a i810 celeron 400Mhz with 128Mb ram and got a frame rate of 8 fps. Still not very fast, but I think that machine was way under the specs for a program like flight gear.

You could acomplish this: http://baron.flightgear.org/pipermail/flightgear-devel/2002-March/006012.ht ml I think it is at least problematic to run FlightGear without a window manager. The help system is not integrated into FlightGear. How do you switch to your browser and back into Flightgear when you have no window manager? It would be also a bit problematic to include other programs like the mentioned fgkicker. The worst thing: You could not use the speaker icon and actually had to use the knob at your stereo to adjust the sound volume. :-) Greetings Ronny ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
