Assigning to a developer.

Comment 2 Brent Fox 2001-01-30 18:49:05 UTC
How much ram does that card have?

Comment 3 Brent Fox 2001-01-30 18:58:41 UTC
I've reproduced this problem on my 32MB ATI Radeon.  This doesn't happen in GUI
mode.  I'm looking into a fix.

Comment 4 Chris Runge 2001-01-30 19:19:23 UTC
The card is the 64MB retail VIVO version

Comment 5 Glen Foster 2001-01-30 20:43:52 UTC
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Release-Candidate #1

Comment 6 Brent Fox 2001-01-30 21:47:16 UTC
This is fixed in cvs.  The server variable wasn't being initialized, so it was
failing in the 'if server:' line because 'server' didn't exist.  Brock, please
verify.  Dave has a Radeon card if you need it.  Thanks for reporting this.
