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

[Tom Goddard]

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:

http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/ticket/6088

and the fix:

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