Greeting Pfolks,

I'm in the process of porting our Performer 1.2 based simulation to
Performer 2.1. I had no problems with the display of light points using
Performer 1.2 but with Performer 2.1 the light points don't show up. If
I go to wire frame and turn off the fog I can see them, although some of
the light points tend to fade in on out as I move around the scene. I
am using the same MultiGen database for the Performer 2.1 sim that I
used for the Performer 1.2 based simulation.

I am using the Perf21.R152d loader. But the Perf2.xR14.2b has the same
problem with the light points.

I am also having a problem with the system hanging and loging me out
using the Perf21.R152d loader. The SYSLOG shows:

May 23 10:57:55 4A:dennis unix: WARNING: IR0: Timeout waiting for fifo

Any ideas as to why I can't see the light points? Any clues to the
system locking up?

Thanks for any assistance.
