[Chromium-users] Display issues with Chromium

[Paul N. <Pau...@Su...>]

Hi,  
 
When I try to run applications (VMD/OpenSceneGraph) through Chromium, I 
have a few issues I can't work through: 
 
1. Chromium splits the mouse control of the application into a separate 
window, with the actual display window being shown full screen separately. 
 
2. Even though I am using the 'fullscreen' option from the render spu 
and even though the actual display window is full screen, the actual 
images only show up on a quarter of the screen. 
 
3. Chromium can't interpose on scripts as easily as binaries, you need 
to mess around with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable within the application 
script (this one is not so much of a problem, as we have found a 
workaround more or less for this). 
 
I have included my .conf file below.  
 
Many thanks, 
Paul.
