RE: [Flightgear-users] Rotating the Display
If you are using a nVidia card on Windows, then the latest drivers support rotation of the screen at the driver level. The Linux driver may also do this, and I would hope that ATI would provide similar functionality.

My monitor projects an image 90. I've played with /sim/current-view/roll-offset-deg. It does rotate the display, but something isn't quite right. All is OK if the plane is sitting still, but once you start to move, the view changes.

[Flightgear-users] starting flightgear
flightgear 0.9.8 I have it compiled and configured to find the data dir. Now I have this problem: I start it in a console with fgfs, and it crashes the Xserver, then, after logging back in and fgfs in a console again, it pops up the splash screen, and after a few seconds I get an error message on the console which reads: open /dev/[sound/]dsp: Device or resource busy then it just hangs there and does nothing. My sound works, except this doesnt any ideas ?
