Hi folks,
 
I was using PyMol with no problems about a year ago.  I believe that my PyMol 
version was in the 0.9x series.  I was using Ubuntu Linux 6.06 on a Pentium IV 
machine.
 
Since then I have upgraded to a new multi-core motherboard, and Ubuntu Linux 
8.04.  The Linux repository has a PyMol v1.0 package, so I downloaded that 
first.  It installed with no apparent errors.  
 
Running it, though, is another matter.  The command window appears, but the 
molecule display frame appears for just an instant, and then vanishes.  If I 
load a PDB file, again the molecule display frame will appear -- and then 
disappear again.
 
I uninstalled PyMol v 1.0 and installed PyMol v 1.1 directly from the PyMol web 
site.  This made no difference to the program's behavior.
 
When I run PyMol from the terminal, here's what appears in the terminal window:

-----

Most of the same text appears in the text frame of the PyMol command window, 
except for the four lines concerning OpenGL.
 
As you can see, no errors have been reported.
 
What could possibly be wrong???  Thanks for any suggestions!
