[Chimera-users] CUDA on Mac OSX 10.14 Mojave

[Greg Couch]

That error is not directly related to CUDA, it is because Chimera is 
unable to use OpenGL to draw 3D graphics.  So if you can reinstall the 
NVIDIA graphics driver so that OpenGL works, then Chimera would work.  
I'd downgrade or install Ubuntu.

     HTH,

     Greg
