As far as I know, you only have to enable dynamic water in the settings.
So check your settings ^.^
(The bitmaps were for a specivic problem, I think)

The bitmaps are required i order to get dynamic rippling water going, otherwise spring fails as ti cant display foam etc...

Does the dynamic water rendering work under linux ?
Otherwise it would be interesting to have a boolean value in the .springrc file to enable/disable this feature.

It should work under linux I think, especially now I fixed the filename case. I don't know the ~/.springrc option tho, you'd have to reverse engineer it from the source.

It definitely is available already because the registry reading and ~/.springrc reader are implementations of the same abstract config reader.

Maybe it's just another value (2?) for the current dynamic water option?

I've recompiled the sources but the new water rendering doesn't work (or is disabled).
I found on the wiki a list of variables used in ./springrc...but there is nothing about the water (only for the reflective water...already implemented in the game)

That's because I made that list before the water renderer was implemented.

E: I looked in the source: put 'ReflectiveWater=2' in ~/.springrc and it should use SJ's new water renderer. If it still doesn't, then either your video card can't handle it or there is a bug in spring.

There is no change...and the game run without errors about it.

I have a Radeon 9800 pro. Which glx feature is used for the rendering ?

You need to have a graphic card wich support shader model 3 ... and 9800 doesn't.
