It was actually working fine and great until I changed something in the SL preferences. I changed Anti alisting to on, went out to lunch and when I came back I get a window creation error. It's quite annoying really. euronymous:~$ glxinfo \| grep direct direct rendering: Yes 2008-06-19T17:37:47Z INFO: createContext: creating window 1270x748x32 2008-06-19T17:37:47Z WARNING: createContext: window creation failure.

Well, I wouldn't delete them outright, just mv ~/.secondlife ~/old.secondlife _____________________ http://ordinalmalaprop.com/forum/ - visit Ordinal's Scripting Colloquium for scripting discussion with actual working BBCode! http://ordinalmalaprop.com/engine/ - An Engine Fit For My Proceeding, my Aethernet Journal http://www.flickr.com/groups/slgriefbuild/ - Second Life Griefbuild Digest, pictures of horrible ad griefing and land spam, and the naming of names
