Hi Curt,

I have been updating FlightGear from CVS about three times during the last
months and the program always dies after showing the Cessna cockpit.  I am
generally using the latest stable release of Linux and of the required
software libs.
FlightGear compile and install without complains.

So I am a little puzzled.  Do you know of an up-to-date FAQ?  I use an ATI
Rage Fury 128 and I have the hardware accelerated OpenGL installed and
working.
Maybe there is an already compiled and ready to run copy available
somewhere.

Richard

Richard,

You might try running inside of gdb to get some more info about where
in the code you crash.  We have a mailing lists which I'd encourage
you to post to if you continue to have problems:

    http://www.flightgear.org/mail.html

Make sure you include the gdb output, linux distribution, compiler
version, glibc version, and any other info you might think would be
helpful.

> So I am a little puzzled.  Do you know of an up-to-date FAQ?

Our most recent FAQ is here:

    http://www.flightgear.org/Docs/FlightGear-FAQ.html

You could be running into driver issues???  How much video/texture ram
do you have on your card?  I know that people generally have had good
luck with GeForce cards, and fairly good luck with voodoo2/3 cards
(although they are not as nice as the geforce cards.)  I don't know of
many people running ATI cards, and I've never had one here to try out
myself.

Regards,

Curt.
