Dallas,
With VMDSIMPLEGRAPHICS enabled, you'll be missing these features,
though whether you'd actually have them otherwise is still very
video card-specific:
- Stereo
- Multisample antialiasing
- 3-D texturing (color by volume)
- GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) advanced shaders
(ray traced spheres, alpha-blended transparency, phong shading, etc)
- Various other OpenGL features that are used to make VMD
draw molecules faster...
Dallas, are you using ATI or NVidia? I seem to remember you had an
ATI laptop chipset or something? Just trying to remember what your
specific case is.
John
