[GRASS-user] NVIZ grass6.1 cvs, crash

[Michael Barton]

There have been a number of important fixes and changes to nviz since 5 May
2006. You should get a new version. 6.1 has been in official beta now for
several weeks and is due for a final release in a day or so.

> Dear all,
> 
> We are currently running grass6.1 CVS-Version (20/05/2006) compiled
> for a Pentium IV running under Suse Linux 10.1. The Computer has a
> i845 Intel-onboard graphics chips. The Xserver uses the module i810.
> Everything seemed fine.
> 
> we are working mainly with the r3.modules to visualize contamination
> clouds interpolated with v.vol.rst. Trying to visualize volume-maps
> crashes NVIZ in three ways.
> 
> 1. calling NVIZ from gis.m produces 2 Windows, which soon dissappear
> without further message
> 
> 2. calling NVIZ from the grass prompt with "NVIZ &" and adding a 3d-map
> immediately crashes NVIZ
> 
> 3. calling NVIZ from the grass prompt with "NVIZ &" without data, loads
> the NVIZ program. NVIZ also loads the 3dmap, trying to set an isosurface
> seems to work, but visualization fails. The program does also not show
> the usual frame.
> 
> A hint would be highly appreciated:
> 
> -- Is 3d acceleration mandatory for work with NVIZ ?
> -- could this be a missing graphics-library?
> -- Are there any known problems with NVIZ (separate setup,
>  do I have to recompile)
> -- How can I stop this behavior?
