Scilab 5.0 and Linux with Intel graphics card

[Gianluca Antonelli]

Hi,

I have installed Scilab 5.0.1 under a Kubuntu distribution on a laptop 
with an Intel graphics card.

The sw crashes as soon as I open a graphic window or Scicos.

I have posted on the newsgroup and on the bugzilla site but it seems 
that currently the only solution is to disable the hardware accelerator 
or the DRI under the xorg.conf file.

(http://groups.google.com/group/comp.soft-sys.math.scilab/browse_thread/thread/9c9604344bc562d0?hl=en)

(http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2794)

This is something I'm not sure I want to do for several reasons.

Does anyone knows an alternative solution or if the programmers are 
going to fix it?

Thanks in advance and congratulations for the sw.

Best,
Gianluca
