Hello,
I am using an ATI Radeon 9800 video card. However, when visualizing systems of
about 1500 atoms I experience significant video slowing in VMD. When loading
VMD I get the following messages:

OpenGL renderer: Mesa GLX Indirect
Features: STENCIL RN MDE MTX PP PS
GLSL rendering mode is NOT available.

Would updating the video driver help this problem? If so what video driver
should I get? I've already been to the ATI website and looked at the
downloadable drivers there.
Thanks,
Bob Johnson
