Installation

Hi,

It seems that some features are not supported by the pandagl rendering engine.
3 samples are not working on my linux station
-NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5700
-driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762
-Mandrake 10.0
The same samples are working great on the same computer under windows 2000.

There are some issues with rendering to a buffer in the 1.2.3 version of Panda3D. I believe most of these have been fixed in the CVS version, and these fixes will probably be included in the next release of Panda.
