Jean-Daniel,

One thing that mapserver always does when rendering is set the spatial
filter for the region of the map.  Is it possible this is not working
properly with your driver?  You can use the -spat commandline switch to
ogrinfo to test the same thing.

However, since you mention there was a cgi error, perhaps this is not
the issue. Exactly what cgi error did you get?  I think it might be
prudent for you to do some testing using "shp2img" which also comes
with most mapserver distributions, and makes it easy to test things at
the commandline.

Something like:

   shp2img -all_debug 1 -m your.map -o out.png -l your_layer

One nice thing about shp2img is that it is more practical to debug than
mapserv run under apache.

Best regards,
