Thanks for the reply...i had originally installed the binaries....never |
| 2 |
built it from source...but it seems that I'm getting the same problem |
| 3 |
rebuild as before. This inquiry is probably better directed towards ATI |
| 4 |
or the makers of VMD, but it detects fireglx module, recognizes my card |
| 5 |
even, but the console window just dies without the VMD block letter |
| 6 |
display ever coming up. Other applications seem to run with rendering |
| 7 |
just fine...I'm rather new at this linux stuff...i was wondering wat is |
| 8 |
the best way to capture the console window output easily prior to its |
| 9 |
premature exit? |

best, |
