[Chimera-users] Error on Ubuntu 12.04 in VirtualBox uder Win7 with Nvidia Graphic Card

[Greg Couch]

Hi Lingyu,

The easiest solution is to not run Chimera inside VirtualBox, but run 
the native Windows version on Windows.  The default VirtualBox graphics 
driver is inadequate.  And in general, anything that hides the native 
graphics driver from Chimera will likely break Chimera.

     HTH,

     Greg
