[MINC-users] Display graphics on fedora 7

[Andrew Janke]

Interesting,

I certainly have no trouble with beryl/compiz under Ubutu Feisty.
This is with a Nvidia GeForce 8600GT running Dual 1600x1200 DVI.

Although I do know there is a problem with some of the nvidia cards /
drivers in register if you set to many tag points.  Sylvain has
investigated this at length and it appears that it is a combination of
certain cards and certain hardware.

My guess in all this is that Dave when he wrote these all those years
ago used a few parts of GLUT that are not all that well supported.

Is your hardware ATI or NVIDIA?  and what does glxinfo return?

If ATI, I have had more success with the fglrx (proprietary) drivers.

I also have spend much more time debugging register/Display under
nvidia than ATI, so if others are considering a new machine I would
suggest NVIDIA.
