Linux, stutter and boxes still here.

Hi Philllip,

First of all sorry for opening new thread. Decided to have it in one place.

I am still struggling making CRJ200 run properly, unfortunately. I really hope that you will be able to help.

I have installed archlinux and there as well as in gentoo I can see stuttering with displays on as well as 'mysterious dotted boxes' on displays.

Could you please provide me with information of version of: mesa, opengl, nvidia drivers, kernel openal, Qt (and whatever else you might think might be relevant) of a system that is know to work well?

I will then try to upgrade/downgrade them one by one in order to find what the problem is.

[i will try 2.6.39 kernel in the minute] EDIT: Problem still exists with 2.6.39.

And attached is nvidia debug info.

Kind regards,

Just to confirm: I have these "boxes" here on my openSuse 11.4, too. But so far I have seen them only when the name of a VOR is displayed (for instance TGL in EDDT).

X-Plane 9.69

Kernel 2.6.37 x64

NVidia GeForce 450 GTS (Driver 270.41.06)

Hi all !

I'm also using GNU/Linux but I did not notice "dotted boxes" on the displays (my latest screenshots are here).

I also had stutters when using an old Nvidia driver. The solution for me was to change the Nvidia driver ! I had version 195.36.24 (default Nvidia proprietary driver in Ubuntu 10.04) and I installed version 270.29.

:-\ But I guess you all already have a new driver...
