[scilab-Users] Scilab 5 and non openGL X11 servers

[Jonathan Blanchard]

Hi,

Logically since there is no hardware with vnc there is normally no
opengl implementation. You must compile it yourself as the mesa Xlib
driver, sometime called software rendering.

See www.mesa3d.org in the compiling section see the instruction for
standalone mesa.
