Thanks for the reply...i had originally installed the binaries....never
built it from source...but it seems that I'm getting the same problem
rebuild as before. This inquiry is probably better directed towards ATI
or the makers of VMD, but it detects fireglx module, recognizes my card
even, but the console window just dies without the VMD block letter
display ever coming up. Other applications seem to run with rendering
just fine...I'm rather new at this linux stuff...i was wondering wat is
the best way to capture the console window output easily prior to its
premature exit?
best,
alden
