 I installed flightgear 0.9.4 a few days ago on a Red Hat 9 machine
 with 512 mb ram, a P4 2.4ghz processor, and a 64 MB ATI Volcano
 Radeon 7000 3D graphics accelerator. The driver installed for Radeon
 is the standard driver that Red Hat bundles. It has 3D Hardware
 acceleration enabled.
 The problem is this: barely minutes into flightgear, the display
 freezes, and I cannot change terminals or even ctrl+alt+bkspc to stop
 X. I have to restart the machine.

Is the display really freezed ? I mean, Can you still move the mouse
pointer around ?

I've experienced the same kind of freeze a few times, and solved it by
connecting to my machine from the network, and killing either X or the
graphically intensive application. I've experienced it with both
FlightGear and PrettyPoly Editor, particularly when using a complex
aircraft 3D model.

Thanks Erik - however, I'm slightly puzzled, as I don't have
a config.sub file in the cvs checkout. I thought there may
be a symlink or something there, but apparently not. Any
ideas about where this file might be? According to locate,
which would reflect my old source tree as I've not updated
it this morning, there used to be a config.sub file there.
However, I've since deleted it.


Ah, you still need to run ./autogen.sh first.
