The Intel HD Graphics 3000 is much better than previous Intel offerings and the Intel's OpenGL drivers have improved considerably too. That said, personally, I would get laptop with AMD/ATI Radeon or Nvidia GeForce graphics, but the Samsung series 9 should be more than adequate. If you get one, please run Chimera's Tools / Utilities / Benchmark tool and submit the results, so the Chimera benchmark page, http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/wiki/benchmarks, will show the relative performance. -- Greg On 10/20/2011 10:33 AM, Hernando J Sosa wrote:
Dear Chimera Developers/Users
I'm curious if it is still the case that Intel graphic drivers are not very good to run chimera. I've been looking for a laptop replacement and some of the options I am considering (e.g. Samsung series 9) come with Intel graphics only (Intel HD Graphics 3000).
Thanks
Hernando

This might be an issue with your graphics driver. The Intel graphics drivers are much better than they used to be, but they still have many problems. If you have the option of installing an AMD/ATI or NVIDIA graphics card and the corresponding proprietary driver, you'll be much happier.

Dear Chimera Developer,
I want to select a region in protein molecule and then color.
I have open a pdb file 1HA0 (attached), and then select a sequence TQNGGSNACKR (attached image) then color in blue (attached image). But this colors non selected part.
I am using ubuntu 11.04 natty, VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18) Subsystem: Dell Device 0447 Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915
and Chimera 1.5.3 .
