Comment 46 for bug 197163

Hi Tom thankyou very much for all the research into this problem - I use mathematica a great deal and well its just great you found the answer. Small curiosity for those running flgrx "ATI accelerated driver", does anybody else get 2 null mathematica window frames opening when using this driver? Also if running this driver one has to use the -defaultvisual flag or the X Error incompatibility messages swamp the launch terminal. With the previous solution (font substitution) I used to be able to click on the menu region of the empty windows and get rid of them that way. However with the correct Qt libraries for Hardy you can't get rid of the windows until you close Mathematica itself. Mathematica is expensive, and it should run consistently on Linux like it does with Windows, I wonder what Wolfram are going to do about this. Next week a representative of Wolfram visits my university and I think I will point this out to him. All the best to everyone for such a great effort ... Cheers
