Hi Mario,<br>
<br>
I have seen the sliced bread volume contour surface appearance many
times before and every time it was with Mesa. I've never seen it with
an nvidia driver. The cases I've seen are a bug in the Mesa
client-side library so if you are remote displaying Chimera from
another machine then you will see the problem even if the machine you
are displaying on has nvidia drivers if the machine Chimera actually
runs on is using Mesa.<br>
<br>
If your case does not involve Mesa at all you should report a bug
using Chimera menu entry Help / Report a Bug... which will give us your
graphics driver info. It is definitely a graphics driver bug and we
like to keep track of which drivers have problems.<br>

<pre wrap="">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

<pre wrap="">The surface display bug is a bug in Mesa which is the OpenGL used by
linux if you have no driver installed. We call this the sliced bread
bug. Here's the bug report:

and the fix:
"Fixed by installing graphics driver. Incorrect surface rendering
caused by vertex buffer object bug in Mesa 6.5.1."
