I'm running a current CVS build of LDGLite on Windows XP.  I did the rendering
on my laptop which is a Dell Inspriron 600m with an ATI Radeon Mobility 9000.
My graphics driver is slightly out of date since the newest one causes funky
things to happen when I close the lid of my machine while it's still running.

I typically use this commandline for rendering:
"C:\Lego\LDRAW Viewers\LDGLite\ldglite" x.dat -fh -v6400,4800 -s3 -z-4000 -Z6000
-i1 -q -cg25,45,0 -mFx.png

In the case of the mosaic, scaling x3 was to much so I stepped it down to x2 and
the viewing window was too small so I enlarged it.  The resultant commandline
was:
"C:\Lego\LDRAW Viewers\LDGLite\ldglite" x.dat -fh -v10240,7680 -s2 -z-8000
-Z8000 -i1 -q -cg125,45,0 -mFx.png

I then downsized the image to 800x600 using ImageMagick's mogrify program.
