Yes, that worked for me too. I got it from fedora updates with 'yum install celestia'

My system is an AMD64, but iis running the standard i386 FC4 software. My next go at experimenting was going to be to re-install FC4 with the x86-64 version, but it seems that running the 'incorrect' version isn't the problem. The reason for my slow progress in this problem is the difficulty in find...

Sellden Yes, I saw that in an earlier post. '~' tells me that it's successfully loaded the models, and (for the ISS) that it's loaded the textures.... so that suggests to me that it's actually loaded a model file. As an earlier poster suggsested that he'd had success with KDE I deleted and rebuilt t...

I as fairly confident that when I got the ATI drivers working with 3D accelleration, then the problem with Celestia would drop out in the mix. Well, after lots of faffing about through various googled sites, I finally got to http://www.livna.org which has the EASIEST way of getting the drivers prope...

The short answer is... none Attempted to suppress loading of AGPGART by putting a dummy entry into modprobe.conf as follows:- install aglgart echo "modprobe: loading of AGPGART suppressed" didn't work, stopped the fglrx module from loading with lots of 'missing symbols' lines. All attampts to hide t...

Consensus at t he moment is that the Mesa driivers aren't up to handling the 3D operations and we need to get the proprietary drivers working. I've downloaded and installed the ATI driver and it's being picked up for the simple stuff, but not for the 3D work :( The ATI driver page says that iit has ...

Sorry about the short message

Starts off with a default windo size and runs at between 90-95 fps. As I increase the sizeof the windo, the rate drops through 48 and 25 to between 14 and 16 fps

Yup, got '.3ds' on the end of the 'mesh' lines.... I an't emphasise enough that this has happened with vanilla installations of Celestia, not on any extras that I've installed. My current situation is that I'm procrastinating over rebuiliding my kernel, so I can have a go at getting the ATI drivers ...

Yes, the case is the same from the file 'data/spacecraft.ssc' and 'models/iss.3ds'. This has hapepned with both an RPM install, and a source build, and it doesn't matter if the object I'm going to is from the default installatioin or an added extra.

Tried focusing on the ISS then doing the '~'... It said it loaded the meshes from the 'models' directory and the textures from 'textures/medres', but still nothing. :( As I approach there seems to be a dot on the screen, but this vanishes and the model does not appear. The ATI drivers seems to be a ...

models is in the usual place.

According to the ATI web site I've got the latest driver installed.

Bob - Thanks for the rapid response. In reply... 1. No textures for the modfels, surely? The textures for the planets appear properly, so they seem to be in the right place. 2. The .3DS files for the default spacecraft seem to be in the right place too... at least, they're in the 'models' folder, an...

Hi all. I've just installed Cellestia 1.3.2 on Fedora Core 4, which I downloaded from the Yum repository. I#m running on an Acer Aspire 1501LMi, which is an Athlon 64 3000+, with 1GB of Ram, and an ATI Mobility Radeon 9600. I have the proprietary ATI driver installed for 3D acceleration. WHen I star...
