[scilab-Users] GL2PS error when exporting

[Mathieu Dubois]

Hello,

The code seems correct and it works on my system (see attached file):
plot() // produce demo
file_name = "test"
xs2svg(0,strcat([file_name,".svg"]),"portrait");

I'm not very well informed on GC but I have a Quadro FX 3500. I use the 
recommended proprietary NVIDIA drivers under Ubuntu 11.04 (sorry I don't 
understand anything about NVIDIA driver version but if you know commands 
to get more information don't hesitate). This config works for more than 
2 years (with the previous drivers).

By the way if you use "vesa" I guess X11 doesn't use the NVIDIA driver.

So I'm sorry but you will probably have to update your drivers (if you 
use Ubuntu this should be easy with System -> Administration -> 
Additional drivers)... If it doesn't work you may have a look at the 
Nouveau drivers.

HTH,
Mathieu
