Hi James-

> Operating System: Redhat Enterprise 4 (linux)
> Hardware Information: Intel PC
> Inquiry: I've downloaded the install script for IDV_2.0 and ran it on my

> get the following error (an IDV window opens very briefly, then closes):

This is a known problem of a conflict between the DRI module and
Java 3D.  To fix this, you need to comment out the loading of
the dri module in your X configuration file (xorg.conf).  See the
FAQ item relating to this at:
