I have a very small but annoying problem. I had two versions of libGL.so.1, so I have renamed the version in /usr/X11R6/lib/. Now I can run Chimera, but it works rather slow and says OpenGL error in GfxInfo::initialize 'out of memory'. I use Mandriva Linux 2006 and FireGL drivers by ATI. Could anone help me?

If you had to rename one of the versions of libGL.so.1, then you probably had a problem installing the ATI drivers or you forgot to reinstall the ATI/NVidia driver when you upgraded your kernel and/or X11. So the first thing to do is to reinstall the ATI driver. If the ATI drivers are properly installed (using the latest 8.29.6 drivers), you will see (with different dates): % cd /usr/lib; ls -l libGL.so* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Oct 5 15:44 libGL.so -> /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Oct 5 15:44 libGL.so.1 -> /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 % cd /usr/X11R6/lib; ls -l libGL.so* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Oct 5 15:44 libGL.so -> /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Oct 5 15:44 libGL.so.1 -> /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 783353 Oct 5 15:44 libGL.so.1.2 After you reinstall the ATI driver, be sure to reboot. Then run glxinfo | grep "^OpenGL renderer" to confirm that the ATI driver instead of the Mesa driver is being used. If you need further assistance, please use chimera's Help / Report A Bug dialog and I'll work with you to figure things out. Greg Couch UCSF Computer Graphics Lab
