Hello,

I've still a lot of problem to render a plot under linux 
mandriva-2008.0. I'm an unlucky owner of an ati radean 9200 PRO graphic 
card.
I've tried to install the latest ati driver obtained from ati.amd.com 
and scilab-5 hangs when I tried to plot a simple curve (see bug 
http://www.scilab.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla_bug_II/show_bug.cgi?id=2657).
So I decided to switch to the x.org ati driver.
First try: I removed the Load "glx" and Load "dri" options with the 
"radeon" driver.
When I enter the command plot(X,Y), an empty plot windows pops up and an 
error message appears in the console (something like "can't find GLX ...").
Second try: I added the Load "glx" option and then, the plot windows 
appears and a loop  of error messages (related to java) appears in the 
console. The list of messages ended with:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java 
heap space

I join a log of the error messages (the log is gzipped and weight 11Mo 
ungzipped !).
