Then I started ppracer just to see if 3D acceleration was working. The font rendering was really bad (text was unreadable) and during the initial setup of the game there was what appeared to be an extra small window positioned over the four corner edges of the main window. Maybe I had to replace the whole X distribution as well? Since this was only a quick test I did not want to do that. IDL is a commercial data visualization program http://www.ittvis.com/idl/ There is an open replacement being developed called GDL that aims to be compatible with IDL. http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnudatalanguage GDL is certainly a very useful program, but if you are a long-term user of IDL, you will find that there still are a few annoying inconsistencies and discrepancies in behavior between IDL and GDL. In the long run I would hope to move from IDL to GDL though. GDL might be an interesting package to add to openSUSE by the way. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
