Re: [PyMOL] Error while starting Pymol 1.7

Hi Roy,

I ran into the same issue last week. I am running Pymol of a laptop with an Intel chip driving the internal monitor and a Nvidia chip for the external monitor. The same error pops up when I ran Pymol using the intel graphics chip, but not when I run Pymol of the Nvidia head. According to Schrodinger support the issue has to do with the poor implementation of GL on the Intel chips. From what I gather from their information only the shader and volume support is affected/disabled even though the error message sounds rather scary.

The only solution to the problem seems to be to switch to a Nvidia based system, which supports the advanced GL commands.

Cheers,

                Carsten
