pc: Sony VAIO VGN-FW140E notebook, 3GB RAM,  Intel Mobile 4 Graphics
Chip (GM45), i915 video driver.

Running with the 32bit Kubuntu Jaunty on this PC both Stellarium 0.10.1
and 0.10.2 worked well.

I created another partition and install the 64bit Kubuntu Karmic.
Running Stellarium 0.10.2 the menus were garbled but the star display
and navigation worked well.

Yesterday I scrubbed both Karmic and Jaunty off and gave Kubuntu Lucid
Lynx the entire drive.  Today I installed Stellarium 0.10.3 from the
repository.  The menu and configuration dialog distortions issue is
fixed.  However, the stars do NOT display.   Using the Driconf app to
disable tilling did not help.  The menu showed FPS and FOV data, which
fluctuated as I moved the mouse and scrolled the wheel in and out, but,
... NO stars!

I decided to do a search on Jupiter.   Suddenly, the Sun appeared, along
with circles representing the location of the planets.  Jupiter's
location was bracketed.  I hit the space bar and zoomed in.  Jupiter
appeared, along with its four major moons!   Labled for stars that had
lables began appearing, BUT, no dots or other graphical characters
represent stars appear.  I can see the milky way, M31 and a few other
objects, but no stars appear.  If I search for a star, say, Lyra, a
circle appears, I hit the space bar and it centers, I zoom in and it
appears.  Off to the left is a small circle with the lable "Smoke Ring
..." . I click on it and zoom in and I can see the image of the smoke
ring..

Zoom back out and face south, with the horizon barely showing on the
bottom and I can see the Sun and small circles around where the planets
should be located, their labels, but no planets or stars, unless I
select one and zoom in on it.
