I just installed gazebo on my powerbook (with ati radeon 9600 64mb ram, 1.0 Ghz, 512 RAM). The installation went rather smoothly by following the mac os x instructions which were very helpful. When running wxgazebo with the example.world the ObserverCam window is entirely black. I've seen previous posts talking about problems with ati cards and how it should work when using ATI's fglrx drivers, but it is my understanding that the fglrx drivers don't exist for Mac. The black screen appears when using the Xlib rendering method, and wxgazebo prints out: "rendering: [Xlib unmapped] direct [no] RGBA [8 8 8 0] depth [16]" I've also tried other rendering methods (ATIX, GLX, GLXP, SGIX), but the wxgazebo fails to launch when using any of them, printing out: "server died" Any ideas? Do I simply need faster hardware with a better video card? Luke |

Hi Luke, I would like to help you more, but not having a powerbook (or experience with one) the best I can do is point you to the gazebo documentation. But it seems you have already gone through that. Maybe someone else out there has a solution, or ideas?? -nate On Sat, 05 Mar 2005 15:40:49 -0600, Luke Ludwig <lu...@um...> wrote: > I just installed gazebo on my powerbook (with ati radeon 9600 64mb ram, > 1.0 Ghz, 512 RAM).
