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

[Greg Couch]

Yes, you need chimera 1.4 for newer Linux systems.

First of all, please uses chimera's Report a Bug dialog to report this 
bug, so we'll have a record of which version of Linux you're running, what 
graphics card you have, and the version of the graphics driver.

But if updating the graphics driver to the latest version for NVidia 
doesn't work (185.18.36 as of today), then from the picture, it is 
possible that this is a hardware problem.  Ideally, you would swap out the 
graphics card for a similar one and see if the problem persists.
