Have you tried 6629 driver? We also had some other problems with the
newest driver, so we just switched back to 6629.

Hi everybody, I have read in the thread about the infamous "segmentation fault" issue
concerning NVidia Linux drivers and PyMOL. Warren says that starting from release 7664 the
problem has been solved, but I still experience the segmentation fault when working with medium
sized proteins using surfaces. I tried the newest drivers 7667 and 7664 using both PyMOL 0.98
binary and PyMOL 0.99beta binary, and I had negative results. Then I even tried with drivers 7167
and 7174 which also should work with PyMOL 0.99beta, but I didn't manage to get rid of this
segmentation fault. I'm running PyMOL on a RHEL 3.0 WS box with Kernel 2.4.21-9.EL (which is the
one shipped with RHEL 3.0). I have read on the NVidia README file that this issue is connected
with Kernels older than 2.6.x. But I can't upgrade my kernel, because I'm
running other applications which require the original Kernel to work properly. When I work with
the same protein under the same conditions on my Windows laptop (SiS 730 graphics card) PyMOL
runs smoothly.
Has anybody a suggestion how to manage running PyMOL with NVidia Quadro FX
1300/PCI/SSE2 under Linux without experiencing the segmentation fault after a
few minutes?
Thanks for your time
