Yes, you need chimera 1.4 for newer Linux systems. First of all, please uses chimera's Report a Bug dialog to report this bug, so we'll have a record of which version of Linux you're running, what graphics card you have, and the version of the graphics driver. But if updating the graphics driver to the latest version for NVidia doesn't work (185.18.36 as of today), then from the picture, it is possible that this is a hardware problem. Ideally, you would swap out the graphics card for a similar one and see if the problem persists. - Greg On Thu, 22 Oct 2009, maillist@dejung.net wrote:
Hi all, I have problems diplaying a 3D map in chimera. I recognized this problems with .mrc and .ccp4 maps. And only at my system. When I load a map, I get an image like this: http://download.dejung.net/chimera.png
My version of chimera is: $ chimera --version chimera snapshot version 1.4 (build 28596) 2009-08-20 19:46:50 GMT
I tried also other versions (chimera alpha version 1.3 (build 2577)) but they will not start at all. Tell me there is a segmentation fault at the beginning without any molecule, map or other things. Just exits directly at start up.
Friends of mine told me, it will be maybe the wrong graphic driver, but I all ready tried different ones. At the Moment I use nvidia drivers 185.18.14 on a Linux 64 bit system.
I have no idea now, so hope someone can help me at this point...
Best regards! Mario
