[Chimera-users] distance not shown

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Mingfeng,
	I installed the 8.21.7 drivers on Fedora Core 4 and could not  
reproduce the problem (i.e. labels showed up fine), so I think I'm  
stuck as far as trying to offer a solution other than downgrading  
drivers or waiting for upgrades.  Sorry!
