Re: [Bug-gnubg] Much reduced board decoration with 3D board

[Michael Petch]

This is odd. I have roll my own build on Debian here (Debian Lenny Stable,
32 bit). I have animation on (You can select none/sliding/blink in
Settings/Options.../Display tab). When I attemot to drag a piece it jumps up
and then ilittle green bullseyes (crosshairs) appear on the spots where I
can make a valid move to. Seems you aren't getting those green indicators.
As well I seem to have animations (when they are turned on). Sounds like a
build problem and or a settings issue? Can you email me your config.h .
