[osg-users] new osg installation blank screen on nvidia

[Stewart Andreason]

Hi,
I am new to OSG, and am having trouble getting it to work.

Specifically, in Flightgear, I get a blue screen on startup, and 
scrambled scenery after startup.

Suspecting a driver problem, I upgraded to the newest NVIDIA driver for 
my GeForce4 MX440

NVIDIA-linux-x86-96.43.01-pkg1.run
running on:
Linux Slackware7 kernel-2.4.35 Athlon3000 glibc-2.3.2 gcc-3.3.2 Xorg-7.0.0 

but that did not help.

After setting OSG_NOTIFY_LEVEL=DEBUG
I captured this output when running
> osgviewer cow.osg (from the osg-Data package)

The screen stays blue and blank or clear until I [ESC] close it.

Looking back at the output from configure, I question the 2 errors it gave. It didn't say they were serious, and the package compiled without error.

So I then tried to re-compile with
cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DBUILD_OSG_EXAMPLES:BOOL=ON
but now I get a compile error:

ps.
The only prerequisite I seemed to need is wxWidgets, and so installed 
wxGTK-2.8.7
beforehand, without any error.

What can I try next?
Thank you,
Stewart
