Do you have a way to revert to some earlier state, or make a knoppix style live cd system but running your MSWinstall? -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;o) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...

[Flightgear-devel] Getting closer: My OpenGL install identified as problematic
Given the earlier reported segfault at gluPickMatrix, I decided to try some of the test programs in the tests directory in the FlightGear distribution. Needless to say, these tests are a wonderful idea and immediately pointed the finger at OpenGL. I got an immediate segfault when running gl-test. I also happen to have a program from Realtech VR that tests OpenGL. That segfaulted as well. It had not done so before. So, it appears that somehow I have a bad OpenGL installation. Not sure how to fix that. My video card is a GeForce 6800. I've installed the very latest driver from nvidia. I suspect that I'm going to have to do something else, too. Suggestions will be very much appreciated. Jon ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
