Hi Michael,

Great to hear you got it fixed. The issue with it not launching on
first boot is logged with Soft, but still not resolved. If I had to
guess it'd be because they're compiling against an ancient Xorg,
rather than the modular xorg (7+) that most distros use now.

Each time you login fresh XSI doesn't launch the first time - you need
to kill it and then launch again. No known fix and getting very tiring
telling artists again and again. I think it's also causing an issue
where it breaks custom shortcuts for launching applications in KDE.

Cheers,

Alan.

I had look and I have all these files and all symlinks are correct.

But I did had a look at the strace output after libGL* and it seems that XSI
searches for a file called: liblibGL.so.1.so (two lib's!)
So I made a symlink in /usr/lib/
 liblibGL.so.1.so -> libGL.so
and it starts now! Wow!
Will have to do some more testing how stable it is and if that really was the
problem!

Thanks again!
Michael
