Re: [Amelia-development] Found the Linux Irrlicht Problem

[Joao P. <jpp...@lb...>]

Karol,

We should definitely disable OpenGL for Linux on the Menu then.
I'm jumping back to Windows to correct the menu animation bug we found 
yesterday. Once that and the Linux bug is corrected, I'll create a Tag 
and binaries for release.
We also need to find what happened to the event toolbar!

Joao
