Well, here's another twist to the OpenGL issue (I think it's
OpenGL-related, which is why I'm putting this on this thread).
I had installed the latest ProE release for MechE last week and it
seemed to be working fine on all platforms. Now, when I try running
it on Ultra 5s with 24 bit graphics, I get the following error message
followed by a long hexadecimal error dump:
~ athena% proe2000i2
Setting HOOPS_PICTURE to x11/:0.0...
Required GLX TrueColor Visual Not Available.
Recommend that you put "graphics x_windows" in your config.pro.

*****************************
The line:
Setting HOOPS_PICTURE to x11/:0.0...
is normal. The rest is not. The problem doesn't show up in 8 bit graphics
mode, and doesn't show up at all on Ultra 10s. I think this first started
happening after the latest patch release but I'm not certain.
To see this for yourself, type: add ptc_v2000i2; proe2000i2

PS- I'm leaving this weekend for 2 weeks and won't be able to follow up
until I return.
