(There was a thread about this a while back, but I can't find it.)

I'm using SuSE Linux 11.0 with KDE 4.3.1 (ugh) at the moment. When I select a running SETI task, the "Show Graphics" button becomes enabled. But, when I click on it, nothing happens.

This was working when I had earlier versions of SuSE Linux. I suspect the problem is not with the BOINC software. Instead, I think the problem is that I don't have something installed that the BOINC/SETI graphics software needs, or I have it installed but BONIC/SETI can't find it.

Does anyone know what components I need to have installed for this to work? Also, are there any "environment variables" or other configurations that I should look at?

Also, is there a console command that I could try in order to run the graphics software? If there is, and I try it, I might see an error message that could provide clues.

Thanks.
