| | In this case it is most likely a driver issue. During the development of YASARA,
we found lots of bugs in OpenGL graphics drivers, which we reported to the respective companies
(e.g. ATI, nVIDIA, Matrox). These bugs were fixed in subsequent driver releases,
so most of the time you can solve the issue by just installing the latest drivers.
To determine your OpenGL driver version, click on Start > Control Panel
> Display > Settings > Advanced > Adapter. You will somewhere find a list of files with version numbers.
- ATI driver version 6.14.10.6542 from 2005 was reported to show completely corrupted
graphics on a dual core machine with an ATI Radeon X600 PRO card.
Updating the Radeon driver to Catalyst 6.6 solved the problem.
- ATI Catalyst 6.11 from 2006 with OpenGL driver 6.14.10.5819 was reported to show colorless
ribbons and cartoons or even crash on an ATI Radeon 7000 card with 32MB video ram
and two connected monitors. Closer inspection showed that the driver couldn't cope
with the exhausted video ram. The problem could be solved by not expanding the
desktop over both monitors.
