Re: [Flightgear-devel] Installed, doesn't run.
Just a general FYI, installing the nvidia driver is not really that hard in fedora, you just need to know how to do it: 1) Install the rpmfusion repos (rpmfusion.org contains instructions) 2) Run yum install kmod-nvidia -- this will install the driver 3) Edit /etc/grub.conf (as root), adding nomodeset to every line starting with kernel 4) Reboot Done! Stefan 2010/6/13, james j. brennan j...@kingmont.com: My install of flightgear ran fine once the non-free nvidia drivers got installed (which was VERY EASY with Ubuntu. and which proved to be V E R Y difficult with both Debian and fedora). In fact I've just spent the entire day at an install fest put on by a local Linux users group, and we never did get them installed in either of those systems !!! We finally gave up up frustration!

I'm a newbie on Ubuntu, but this should be a simple app. download, and play I just yesterday read that Ubuntu 10.4 by default installs video drivers without hardware acceleration. You'll need to set the desktop settings to the highest available fanciness to let the system select the NVidia proprietary drivers. Maybe this has something to do with it?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Installed, doesn't run.
Not sure what the problem might be , since I did the same thing 2 days ago and it runs without problems here , on an AMD Athlon XP with an NVIDIA 6200 series graphics card... just a thought , but I did have to remove pulseaudio to get another app to run without segfaulting during Openal initialization. I didnt have a problem with FlightGear (1.9.1) with pulseaudio though. Cheers On Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 3:12 PM, Mr B leb1...@sasktel.net wrote: Downloaded flightgear from Ubuntu software.
