I want to thank Manidip Shasmal for using Chimera's Report a Bug dialog to submit this as a bug.  With the information in the bug report, I was able to see that the NVIDIA graphics driver was not installed.  Installing that driver will fix his problem.

So a general comment, for interactive graphics, the graphics drivers, that come with the Linux server editions, are too old and buggy for Chimera.  You would be much better off with a desktop edition of Linux, like Ubuntu.

  I have downloaded and installed chimera-1.5.3-linux_x86_64.bin, release date April 05,2011.  But after opening a volume data the volume is appearing as random slices.  I have checked all the other necessary requirements. I am using RHEL 5.4 and NVIDIA graphics.  Please suggest.
