[Scilab-Dev] Scilab 5.0 graphics issues under Linux

[COLLETTE Yann]

Hello,

I can confirm the problem with the ATI driver. And maybe something more: 
if I start scilab in the installation directory, scilab hang quite 
brutally. If I start scilab in the build directory, I've just got a java 
error message and scilab doesn't hang.
