[Chromium-users] New User: Chromium on Windows (next problem, no blank or fish window)

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I am a new user to Chromium and I have corrected the problem from my
previous post to this newsgroup by following the FAQ. My apologies for not
reading it closer.

I am following the "Chromium for beginners" part of the documentation with
regard to Windows based system. I am now able to successfully run the
initial demo except that the windows do not open. Here's the sequence of
steps suggested in the documentation:

>> 1: % cd mothership/configs
>> 2: % python crdemo.conf atlantis &
>> 3: % crserver &
>> 4: % crappfaker

>> You should get two windows, one blank, one with fish. Congratulations,
you've run your first Chromium network! Everything else is downhill from
here.

Unfortunately, I am unable to get the two windows. To test the OpenGL side
of things, I am able to run 'atlantis' within the cygwin bash shell. It does
open a window and redner the atlantis scene.

I have turned on all the debug options that I can find (RELEASE=0 during
compile, DebugLevel = 2 in mothership.py) and here's the result below.
