Re: vmd-l: vmd and Re: [PyMOL] pymol crashes with new [7167] nvidia driver

[John S. <jo...@ks...>]

Hi,
  Have you reported the crashes to NVidia?  I'd suggest sending an email
to their lin...@nv... mail address.  The fact that multiple packages
crash with the new driver indicates that they may have a new bug in their
drivers.  You mentioned that making a licorice rep crashes your VMD on that
driver, what about VDW or bonds?  Do they have a similar effect?
