what errors do you recieve during compile/execution of either the above? chances are your simply missing some dependancies or havn't yet configured opengl.

...looks like you have no glx drivers, which you'll need for all software that uses opengl graphics acceleration, including 3d (and most 2d) games or screensavers. simplest test to check this is to run glxgears:
br /]glxgears
...an opengl enabled system will result in a 3d gears animation window and fps output to the terminal. any other result means you need to install the opengl drivers for your graphics card. what card do you have?

glxgears runs I get a small window with 3 gears spinning in it
I also get 112.0000 fps and 93.3333 fps
from /proc/ioports I get
"ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro AGP 1X/2X"
this is also the device setting I have in /etc/X11/xorg.config
and this is what dell says is the built in video adpter
is there a module I need to load in xorg.config
I have GTK+2.2.10 installed I thought it covered opengl
so what do I need to install to fix it
I installed the slackware package from the flight gear web site
so should I try installing from source ?

lower fps reading from glxgears often suggests the use of mesa drivers, thus you do indeed have minimal glx support but this support isn't nearly as reliable or optimised as that provided by either ati or nvidia drivers. unforunately i've never used ati cards and cannot guide you through an install, but i expect ati has doc's on there site for linux drivers.
your xorg.conf already references the device, which should make things easier, but as the docs will likely state you'll need to edit the driver reference to that of the ati drivers you install, and possibly add/remove some module references. this should all be documented in the docs for your specific card.
gtk is a framework providing various graphical libraries and widgets. its basically an interface for programmers to make gui development more intuitive. gtk and opengl are seperate entities.

I went to ati.com thay have a link to glx-utah where there is a link for this adpter that points to an ati page with a link that points to glx-utah
I emailed ati and thay sed we stoped supporting that adapter for linux when the XFree86 driver was included in XFree
I spent 4 hours at google.com/linux and as close as I came was other people who were having the same problem that I was having
Well thanks for your effort
and I'm still looking for a flight simulator I doubt there is any way around this to get flight gear working
