Hi Dima, As Greg mentioned the problem is the poor state of Intel graphics drivers on Linux. I'd try a Chimera 1.4 daily build as he suggests. If that does not help you might be able to improve the slow surface and mesh rendering by turning off use of OpenGL vertex buffer objects using the Chimera debug graphics dialog. http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/debug/debug.html You would start Chimera with "chimera --debug-opengl" and switch of vertex buffer objects in the dialog that appears.

Hi there,
I experience porblems with chimera running on Lenovo X60t in Linux. graphics: intel GM945
I have two installations on the notebook: WinXP and Linux (ALT Linux 4.1.1).
Chimera's benchmark under Windows returns preety nice values (see http://socrates2.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/wiki/benchmarks, pre-pre last line, Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet 6363WDP). However under linux I can not get even something reasonable to post Surf - 1 Mesh - 26 Contouring 149 Solid 1 Recoloring 5
Is it natural or due to some bugs in Linux drivers/X/kernel?
Thanks in advance
Dima
