[Chimera-users] Error inizializing OpenGL

[Greg Couch]

Hi Francesco,

The first thing to try is to reinstall your graphics driver -- Chimera 
works much better with the proprietary AMD and NVIDIA graphics drivers.  
If that doesn't work, send me email with the output from the 
CHIMERA/bin/linuxdist and the /usr/bin/glxinfo programs and we will be 
able to figure this out.
