I have an iBook G3 with 640 MB RAM and a Radeon 7500 with 32MB RAM and 10.3.8 seems to have broken Celestia 1.4.0 pre 6 for me. Now I can only view low quality textures. If I select medium or high quality I get the problems that were posted about previously with the graphics appearing to be a mixture of icons from the desktop. I haven't tried re-installing yet but this may be an option.
{EDIT}
I should also say it seems to be a bit temperamental. I've now turned on high quality textures and the following happens: -
Sometimes the graphics problem is fine and other times it's as described above. I have a copy of the Celestia 1.3.2 Word document with the nice CEL links in. Clicking on some of these links results in either good or bad graphics being displayed. For example, I like the eclipse shadows and the one for Jupiter worked fine so I thought I'd try the one for the solar eclipse passing over Africa and this resulted in corrupted graphics. Restarting the program by clicking on the same CEL link results in nice clear graphics. It seems to be totally random (I think) whether I get good or corrupted graphics. Before on 10.3.7 I didn't have any of these problems.
