FC2, somebody please try these SGI Open Inventor demos

[Michael Schwendt]

Hi everyone who runs Fedora Core 2!

Please visit

http://download.fedora.us/pending/fedora/2/i386/RPMS.stable/

and download and install the following packages (or add the directory
to your /etc/yum.conf file). They are signed with the fedora.us key.

Inventor
  Inventor-demos
  Inventor-data
  InventorXt

There may be dependencies on Fedora Core 2, such as the "openmotif"
package, which you may need to install, too.

When done, please run

/usr/lib/Inventor/qmorf.RUNME

or the other demo programs in the /usr/lib/Inventor folder, e.g.
gview.RUNME (which should display a windmill with rotating sails).
What do you get? Do the demos seem to work flawlessly?

They worked for me. CPU usage peaked at 100% for qmorf.
Had to stop and concentrate on installing FC3t2.

Anyone else give this a try, please?
Maybe with Athlon/Duron hardware?
Anyone with Matrox Millennium graphics adapter?

Hi,
     I tried out Inventor no problems installing via yum and the .RUNME
works perfectly in all cases not a single error.

Using:

GA-7VT600 Via chipsets
AMD 2600 xp+
nVidia Gforce FX 5700
ATrpms nvidia 6111 drivers

Thank you.

That rules out that what I get is AMD related. For me, the demos
flicker badly with FC2 and FC3T2 until I move the window to a
different screen position. Afterwards, everything runs flawlessly.

I forgot to note the kernel: 2.6.8-1.521

Since there was a recent update to the Mesa libs
is there a chance that those updates replaced a lib
that nVidia expects.

I know that I need to do a refresh install of the nVidia driver + libs
on my systems.
