Linux Installation Notes
ecere/lib in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
2. The Linux runtime has dependencies on libX11, libXrender, libGL, libjpeg,
-libz, libgif, libfreetype, libncurses, libpng12.so.0 and libfontconfig.so.1
+libz, libgif, libfreetype, libncurses, libpng and libfontconfig
-3. Indexed Color depths are not supported in the X driver.
-24/16/15bpp are now all working.
+3. Indexed Color depths are not supported in the X driver. 24/16/15bpp should all work.
-4. You'll need a monospace font which fontconfig can match to "Courier New"
-or the code editor text will be extremely small. See
+4. If you have trouble seeing text, try installing these fonts:

+5. You can also try the OpenGL display driver available in (View/Drivers) or by specifying
-5. The default display driver on X makes use of the XRender system, which
-may have various level of performance or useability depending on the X display
-drivers in use. In particular, the closed source accelerated nVidia drivers
-rendered the glyphs sometimes as solid blocks on a GeForce 8800GT. This should
-be resolved in beta driver version 177.70 and newer.
+ {
+ displayDriver = "OpenGL"
+ }
-6. The text rendering performance with some drivers (including the nVidia
-drivers) is not what it should be either, and either a future release of the
-driver or a future version of the SDK will fix this. In the meantime, the
-OpenGL driver has been enabled in the IDE and can be selected through the
-View/Drivers menu for better performance. Ecere applications now also check
-the environment variable ECERE_DRIVER which will override the default.
-Setting it to OpenGL will make all Ecere applications use it by default.
