Hi James, thank you for your help ! :) Hmmm...that is a kind of frightning to me... On my previous system I had a nvidia GT7200 or GT7500 (cant remember exactly) and makehuman does work with it. Now I have a nVidia Corporation G96 [GeForce 9500 GT] (rev a1) according to lspci. So this card /seems/ to be more advanced -- at least to me when I took a look at the numbering 7200<->9500. I am using the propietary nvidia drivers. No problems since now exept for the use of makehuman. > > I have no problems with other SDL-related executables.

"male_formed" ... sorry James, what does it mean...English isn't my mothers tongue...does it mean something like "falsy compiled", "badly built"? > > The output of glxinfo was sent to the developers of makehuman and they > > did not find anything suspicious. > > SDL is always tricky, in my limited use (video games).

I thought, these wre only used when dealing with the bare console or when using X in cases there is no support for the graphics card.

Ok, I will check that, thank you James... Is there something else...for example in xorg.conf to switch on or off to get this z-buffering working? Have a nice weekend!
