Gave up on Stellarium 10.6. I'm not the only one having problems. Some can't
even get it to work on Windows XP!
I want to try the last stable version. I've had that running on both XP and 2K
with no problems. Trouble is, I think it came out in June, 2010.
I can download the file, unzip it, but can't install it.
If that doesn't work, then I'll give up. Apparently it isn't Ubuntu, or the ATI
card.
