This error is usually a graphics driver bug. And is semi-common on systems with Intel motherboard graphics. The new chimera 1.3 release works around some of the cases where the bug occurs. So please try chimera 1.3. The other thing to try is to update your graphics/video driver. If you have a laptop, chances are that your vendor has not released a new graphics/video driver in a long time, so you will have to go to <http://downloadcenter.intel.com/> for a newer driver. If you continue to have problems, please file a bug report using the Help / Report a Bug dialog. Greg Couch UCSF Computer Graphics Lab
