[Chimera-users] anyone using chimera on a an IBM T43p

[Thomas Goddard]

Hi Jeff,

   The Chimera graphics bug page

	http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/graphicsbugs.html

lists a FireGL V3400 (desktop) that also causes system crashes on volume 
display.  I helped Gary with that and the latest ATI driver had the same 
problem.  We did not find a driver that works.
