[ros-users] Graphics card selection for running gazebo

[Peter Brook]

Just to add another data point, I have no problems using Gazebo with an 
ATI HD 4670 on Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit. I have to disable the compositing 
effects (compiz, etc) though, or the 3d part of the program will flicker.

I am on a Dell XPS 1645 (Intel Core i7 1.6Ghz, 4gb ram) that I got 
primarily for the purpose of running ros/robotics applications.
