Peter,
Yes, they do limit your graphics capability. Does your VMD run ok
without them? Or does it die? If you can run without them, that's
what you want to do. If not, then we can find a more minimalistic
set of options to cut back just the feature(s) that cause you trouble.
I've found that on a colleague's ATI-based laptop, just disabling one
OpenGL feature will make VMD run just fine on his ATI chip /w Linux.
