Hello COOT users,
Thanks for all the suggestions.
It turns out that my NVIDIA driver had a bug in some of the /dev/nvidia* files.
I upgraded from 169.12 to the 173.14.12 nvidia linux drivers version and now
everything is humming along with the precompiles gtk2 coot binaries.
Thanks again for the abundant responses,
Scott
