[Chimera-users] problems display a mrc or ccp4 file

[maillist at dejung.net]

Hi Tom,
I allready have the nvidia drivers installed (185.18.14) and also a very
new mesa driver (7.5.1) and tried 7.5.2 without any success.
Greg Couch told me to try an other graphic card, so I think I have to try
this...
I will open a bug report for this issue later, if there are no other
suggestions.

Regards
Mario
