Good suggestion.  Try running "osgviewer " where model_name is
some 3d model (.ac or .osg, etc.) from the FlightGear data tree.

Curt.

If you compiled the utilities, you should have a program called 
osgviewer. That would make a good test.

Hi Robert,
I checked, but for the Geforce4 MX440 there are no beta drivers.

Hi Curt,
I have installed the newest Nvidia driver and am still getting a blue screen 
instead of the splash screen, and then messed up scenery tiles as shown before.
The only things that look ok are the ATC traffic text, the FPS in the
lower right (73), and the popup-boxes.

I looked again at the OpenSceneGraph Library 2.2.0
installation, looked for errors, recompiled it, and SimGear, and FlightGear 
with --enable-osgviewer

checking osg/Version usability... yes
checking osg/Version presence... yes
checking for osg/Version... yes

Is there any other way to verify the osg installation is working?

So now I'm running NVIDIA-linux-x86-96.43.01-pkg1.run on Xorg 7.0.0

Stewart

Look at the Nvidia beta drivers also. I am almost needing a legacy and found a 
beta driver that worked for me.

That is confusing, as the Nvidia download page shows the latest unified 
version to be 169.07
http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
and for my graphics card, I need the legacy driver in the 1.0-96xx 
series, latest version: 96.43.01
I'm downloading it and will report back when I have a more definitive 
answer.

Thanks,
Stewart

AFAIK 100.14.19 is the latest stable driver source available.

This does look messed up.  I've got
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.runinstalled here.  Based on your
images, I really don't know, but I wouldn't
be shocked if it turned out to be some sort of driver issue.  Maybe just
reinstalling the drivers wouldn't hurt as a starting point in case some
other system upgrade overwrote a portion of the libs or config.

Regards,

Curt.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] old bugs with blue screen and BPP32

[Stewart Andreason]

Hi,
I noticed a few files changed in CVS source and simgear, so compiled 
again, but still not working.

I have uploaded a couple screen shots to show at least Part of FG is 
working and displaying correctly on the screen.

http://www.sysmatrix.net/~sandreas/data/osg-nvidia-bug-004.jpg
http://www.sysmatrix.net/~sandreas/data/osg-nvidia-bug-012.jpg

Can anyone point out what is causing this?

Thank you,
Stewart

[Flightgear-devel] old bugs with blue screen and BPP32

[Stewart Andreason]

Hi,
Interesting, I am also getting the blue screen and unusable display,
but on Linux with Nivida, and only after compiling the OSG-CVS.
It never happened with any of the earlier Plib versions.

Worse, adding --bpp=32 to the command line does not help.
I'm going to need help in figuring this one out...

Linux Slackware7 kernel-2.4.35 Athlon3000 glibc-2.3.2 gcc-3.3.2
