An archive post says that the CVS version does not have this problem. Should I try the CVS version? I installed 0.9.8 because of the previous error, just to see if the version was at fault. It's not FG, but freeglut 2.4.0 (release version) causing this error. I have tried to compile the CVS

[..] Hey, LTC apparently has a tradition of making chips for easy application. I never knew they have such a nice A/D converter. I'd be primarily interested to know how you did the driver. Did you pick one from the Linux kernel and changed a few bits or did you build one from scratch ?
