[Xastir] Xastir 1.9.2 source-built on Ubuntu 7.10 - menu & map errors

[Bernard Michael Tyers]

hi all,

I have managed to fix *most* of my previous issues. Thanks to all for
the replies.

The only ones left are following:

1. Most important is the menus are not viewable.

When I open an menu (say interface) 9/10 times the menu is present as
a dot, or a very small section of a menu. If I try to maximize/expand
it nothing happens.

Needless to say its a pain. Although I have become adept at editing
xastir.cnf by hand :)

Any ideas?

The output of the final config is :

2. When I open xastir from commandline I get:

convert_from_xastir_coordinates:Y out-of-range (too low):4275555704
convert_from_xastir_coordinates:Y out-of-range (too low):4275555704

errors at the startup.

Startup shows:

It seems to happen when I zoom out too much (past 1000KM).



Any help much appreciated!
