Re: GIT version fgfs

I have only even run Flightgear on NVidia cards. There are packages 
available on Ubuntu but I haven't tried them on the PC with an Intel 
graphics card to see if they will work.
root@sdrbox1:/usr/src/ghpsdr3-alex# apt-cache search flightgear
fgfs-base - Flight Gear Flight Simulator -- base files
fgo - simple graphical launcher for FlightGear
fgrun - graphical frontend for running FlightGear
flightgear - Flight Gear Flight Simulator
simgear-dev - Simulator Construction Gear -- development files
simgear2.4.0 - Simulator Construction Gear -- shared libraries

This is what I suggested to Donn.
Mesa-libGLESv2-2
Description :
OpenGL|ES is a cross-platform API for full-function 2D and 3D
graphics on embedded systems - including consoles, phones, appliances
and vehicles. It contains a subset of OpenGL plus a number of
extensions for the special needs of embedded systems.

May be as it's only a subset of  OpenGL it's missing something that is 
needed.

Regards
Sid.
