Glest graphics ??

[William Case]

Hi;

I am not a gamer normally but I thought I would download 'Glest' and try
it.
I have a graphics problem using it.  I tried to get an answer on the
Glest mailing list a month ago but got no response.

When I open Glest I get all the opening screens and setup windows and
graphics correctly but when it is ready to play all that I see on the
screen is a little half inch square of red square dots that looks like
something trying to be a full scale map.  There is a very small
animation in the centre of the red square trying to be the main
character -- I suspect.

I believe I have enough power to run this game.  I have 640 Mb ram; a
Radeon 9600 pro video card; and, FC6 on a P4 1.3.  

I am asking because I have some lingering doubts X windows has set my
new(er) video card (the 9600) completely correctly although the display
configuration and the Xlog seems right.

Any diagnostic suggestions gratefully accepted.
