letting us know.<br>

Probably you know already, but I found nothing like this in the
list archive.
<br>
<br>
Short version:
<br>
Use Nvidia driver version 319.49 on Linux when running Chimera.
<br>
<br>
Long version:
<br>
I've setup a new PC with Scientific Linux 6.4 and the latest
Nvidia driver v319.60. Simple configuration (no stereo).
<br>
When running Chimera (official builds 1.8 and 1.8.1) the X-Server
crashed and logged me out somewhere after the first pop-up window
(Loading Tix ...).
<br>
<br>
I recompiled the latest SVN version (1.9_b39272), but still the
same effect.
<br>
Running the program with --debug-opengl showed no pop-up window on
my system as on other older Linux PCs.
<br>
<br>
Debugging the program led to a section in Tkinter/Togl part until
the server crashes and gives me the login screen.
<br>
So I assumed it has more to do with Tk than with Chimera.
<br>
I've made a gdb remote debug session with my X-Server (see
screenshot).
<br>
<br>
Based on this info I made a Internet search and more programs have
a similar problem with newer versions of the Nvidia driver.
<br>
All infos recommend the stable 319.49 version.
<br>
After this driver installation and a reboot - everything (official
and my builds) work now fine.
<br>
<br>
Cheers,
<br>
Wolfgang
