Peter, I am running SuSE linux on a machine with a Radeon7500 card and it does run OK. I noticed the error in your radeon glxinfo about a read error of some sort on radeon_dri.so. Good chance this is a problem. The bad thing here is that Radeon does not distribute linux drivers for the 7500 card (last I checked), so you are a bit on your own. My best guess is to try tracking down the dri error - perhaps downloading the latest versions of everything (XFree86, openGL, etc) and reinstalling. Sorry I couldn't be of more specific help.
Good luck, Steve -----Original Message----- From: pymol-users-ad...@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:pymol-users-ad...@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Peter C.

OS: FreeBSD 6-RELEASE Card: Radeon 7500 RV250. I have also machines with a Radeon R200 card and a Matrox G200 that haven't worked either with otherwise the exact same software setups. Again, all of my softtware is built from source (the FreeBSD ports tree from Feb. 2006). I am using the DRI drivers that come with Mesa 6.4.1. I have tested this on all of my machines with different cards, same software, and they all have the same issue, with pymol only (well I have only tested with the mesa-demos and VMD but those should be fairly representative of working OpenGL applications). Attached are the glxinfo outputs for the radeon and mga cards (with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose, as usual). > > Cheers, > > Steve > > -----Original Message----- > From: pymol-users-ad...@lists.sourceforge.net > [mailto:pymol-users-ad...@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Peter C.
