I don't know for the others, but for KpovModeler you don't need a
3d-accelerated card. I'm using it on a 10 year old Matrox G200, and it runs
smoothlessly.

-a.

Hmmm... KpovModeler is for KDE, and I have Ubuntu with Gnome. Is there any 
way to have Gnome and KDE at the same time?

Gnome and KDE can cross breed without a problem. So you can run KDE progs
under Gnome and visa versa.

As long as you have kde3-libs installed, it'll run just fine.  You don't 
need to be running the KDE desktop to run KDE apps (and vice-versa).

DOH!!! Silly me, if I had realized that I would have tried kpov modeler a 
long time ago. I downloaded and installed it , and it works great. It's a 
lot like Moray, only easier to use, very logical and intuitive. I think I'll 
have some fun with it, If I can find the time.
