Hi,

I have a problem with Performer 2.5.0-5 on Dell workstation ("530 precision"
with nVIDIA Quadro-4 900 XGL, 2 Intel Xeon CPU at 2.2 Ghz and 2 Mb of Ram).
I've done a few tests, first on Red Hat 7.2 and then on Red Hat 7.3, but
Performer doesn't work ! Why ?

Red Hat 7.2 (kernel 2.4.7-10)

A) with nVIDIA driver 2960 (downloaded from nVIDIA's site)

System running with kernel for multi-processor architectures

1. execution of perfly: the program halts when it shows the violet sentence
"OpenGL Performer". If i kill the process (perfly) and go back to the shell,
there are not error/warning messages and the last message that i see is "PF
Info: Initialized 1 Channel".

2. execution of earthsky demo: the 3D object doesn't move (instead of to
rotate
in clockwise) and the program halts; there are not error/warning messages
and the last message that i see is "PF Notice: pfdLoadFile_obj: cow.obj"

3. execution of earthsky demo modified (PFMP_APPCULDRAW instead of
PFMP_DEFAULT): the 3D object rotate, but in anticlockwise ! No
error/warning messages from the linux shell.

System running with kernel for single/multi-processor architectures

1. execution of perfly: the program seems work, but it doesn't manage the
input's mouse (i cannot remove, rotate or scale the object)

2. execution of earthsky demo: like point 3

Red Hat 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18-3)

A) with nVIDIA driver 2960

All the same tests and all the same results of the Red Hat 7.2 case

B) with Dell driver (nvidia-1.0-2880) for precision workstation (downloaded
from Dell's site)

All the same tests and all the same results of the Red Hat 7.2 case

The nVIDIA driver provide a module for the management of AGP bus. If the AGP
bus is drived from nVIDIA module (instead of the kernel's agpgart module), the
previous results don't change. At last i've done a remote test with a PC where
Performer works: if from Dell workstation i execute in remote (using ssh)
perfly or earthsky, they work but viceversa (in remote from PC) no: all the
same results.

Can you help me ?

Thank
