Re: Earth texture problem

I don't recall which textures gave me trouble, but I do remember seeing a bad texture on Earth at some point.

Re: Celestia 1.5.1 / 1.6.0 Texture Display Bug

When you installed new drivers, did you de-install the old drivers and reboot before you installed the new ones? Installing new drivers without doing both of those steps usually does not work correctly but does not generate any error messages. Actually, I had this problem before installing the late...
