I would have agree with the G400 theory because I was, in fact, using a 
Matrox G400Max. So this must be a Matrox specific thing. That's good to 
know since we're getting Radeon's soon. Any problems with the 9700 and 
FS2 on linux?

I noticed a file called "matrox.zip" in one of the FS2_open directories 
a few days ago. I wondered if that was some kind of fix for the Windows 
version of the open source code. I haven't done anything with it, it 
just made me wonder if FS2 has some inherent problems with the G400. But 
I've played the normal game on windows with a G400 (not FS2_open) and it 
had no problems. Maybe it's something in the current open source code 
base affecting only those who build it instead of using the original 
executables.

thanks,
