Public bug reported:
I am testing Mathematica 6.0.1 in Hardy (Alpha 5 all updates). Installs
fine and the gui runs since I have libstdc++5 installed. However, typing
into a mathematica notebook no characters appear on the screen.
Occasionally there are black dots where the letters should be.I have
tried several different fonts with the same effect. Mathematica runs
fine on the same box using Gutsy. The only thing I can think of is that
the new xorg and mathematica are not communicating? (Mathematica's
frontend is written in Motif, I believe).
Log files tell me nothing; nor does starting Mathematica from a
terminal.
My box is 64 bit, 2GB of ram, ATI X700 graphics card. Am using the fglrx
driver (version 8.02 on both Hardy and Gutsy). Tried the open source
driver with same effect.
Not sure where to turn here but this is troublesome as Mathematica runs
beautifully under Gutsy.
