Hi Jeff, The Chimera graphics bug page http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/graphicsbugs.html lists a FireGL V3400 (desktop) that also causes system crashes on volume display. I helped Gary with that and the latest ATI driver had the same problem. We did not find a driver that works. Tom Jeff wrote:
hello,
I have an IBM T43p (June '05 or so release) which has an ATI FireGL v3200 (Mobility). In XP, it isn't possible to try out drivers from the vendor, I am limited to drivers from IBM.
In Linux, I have been able to install proprietary drivers from ATI, but there is no selection for the 'Mobility' version of the v3200 on ATI's website; the install has not complained though, and basic stuff appears to be fine (GUI is ok, glxgears, etc).
In both XP and Linux, chimera will crash when attempting to use volume maps. It appears fine with pdb files, although I typically work with volume data so haven't rigorously tested that.
I have been assuming that the FireGL v3200 (Mobility) is the same logic as the v3200, at least documentation I have been able to find seems to imply that.
Does anyone know (or suggest) a chimera-stable driver version from ATI that I might test? I might at least be able to get it to work in Linux, as the driver suite downloaded from ATI appears to cover most late-generation cards.
thanks for any suggestions,
-Jeff
