Avatars do not display

Avatars do not load when I use LInux SL, they show as grey 'areas'.

Here is a screenshot:

Hi Jsecure,

From your system info it looks like you're using Intel integrated graphics, meaning
you don't meet the minimum system requirements for a Windows install - I don't
know what the requirements are for Linux, but I expect they are similar to Windows
(i.e. a relatively recent Nvidia or ATI graphics card).

Avatar problem goes away like magic with the following fix:

Adv. Graphics -> disable Avatar Vertex Program

I had similar issue...no avatar showing at all, other than VERY small clips of maybe something on head (I have no wacky attachments or anything, so this may have just been part of my hair or something).

disable Avatar Vertex Program, and I pop right in, though. Joy! Aside: to get tabs to change in Preferences, I had to right click on the tab. Left click did not work. (Took awhile to find that...I was busy grepping through the prefs files which I noticed!)

For future reference:

* X version version number: 11.0
vendor string: The X.Org Foundation
vendor release number: 60900000
X.Org version: 6.9.0

* Video driver R300 X.Org driver (NOT the ATI binary-only driver)
* Video card model & amount of video memory: ATI Radeon 9600 AP (AGP), 128M

Looking pretty dang good for an alpha (now that I can see myself!); some shading issues, and font problems, but already semi-usable, and I'm not using binary drivers! This is awesome, guys; great job.
