The GLXFBConfig selection in the Subversion repo was broken for quite a while, due to the removal of the custom Visual selection, so you may have received bad code.
Hey I've been suffering from the same problem.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
