problems running demo

i've restarted a few times now, making sure i followed instructions as best i could.

i'm using ogre SDK 1.2, downloaded the latest PLSM files from the tuan kuranes link. i placed these files in my ogresdk root.
building the Plugin was sucessful.
i downloaded the datasrcs.zip file, copied to the correct place and ran mapsplitter.exe from the binary.zip file. this was also sucessful.
opened the paginglandscape_sample vcproj and compiled without a problem.
i can run the debug exe and i get past the config dialog, it seems to find all the cfg files and all the media files. the window actually even draws the background and overlays, however i soon get a runtime exception.

the direct9 exception is: "Failed to DrawPrimitive invalid call".
for opengl the dialog window doesn't give an exception, but a debug error. the console window, however prints: "Assertion Failed: mCapabilities->hasCapabilities(RSC_VERTEX_PROGRAM)"

from what i've read, it seems to be a driver problem and i should disable vertexmorphing and vertexcompression. i have an older card (ATO mobility radeon 7500).

where do i disable these? i've tried in the paginglandscape2.cfg and it didn't change anything, and the ogre.cfg file gave me an error.

any help much appreciated.

Yea, that card is very old. Disabling those should fix it however. Those settings will be in the individual terrain's config file.

i see. thanks very much. finally got the demo running, although it crashed several times for me. maybe my card just doesn't cut it for this plugin.

perhaps i should go ahead and ask a general (and somewhat related) question.
i am working on a game that requires flying over a landscape. the landscape should never run out or reach the edge. i figured these easiest way was to constantly loop over a terrain, as i don't think it needs to be generated dynamically.

is the PLSM plugin the best way to go with this?
or is this something that i could accomplish with just the normal terrain renderer.
does anyone have any hints about the best way to get started.

apologies for the general question.
thanks.

try updating driver to latest catalyst.
Search infinite terrains on main forums and this forums for the generatl question.
