VMD-L Mailing List

What follows is to inquiry if the computer will be
able to install VMD 1.8.6

I would like to install VMD 1.8.6 on Linux Debian i386
(32bit Athlon) where various OpenGL-graphics programs
(MM packages and interfaces to QM codes) run
perfectly. Though, I do not use GLX acceleration.
Below about the module used:

francesco_at_deb32:~$ awk '/Section
"(Module|Device|ServerFlags|Extensions)"/,/EndSection/'
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Module"
        Load "i2c"
        Load "bitmap"
        Load "ddc"
        Load "dri"
        Load "extmod"
        Load "freetype"
        Load "glx"
        Load "int10"
        Load "vbe"
EndSection
Section "Device"
        Identifier "nVidia Corporation NV11DDR
[GeForce2 MX 100 DDR/200 DDR]"
        Driver "nv"
        BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
francesco_at_deb32:~$

and the VGA controller:

francesco_at_deb32:~$ lspci |egrep -i
'(video|vga|display)'
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation
NV11DDR [GeForce2 MX 100 DDR/200 DDR] (rev b2)
francesco_at_deb32:~$

while I did not install nvidia packages:

francesco_at_deb32:~$ dpkg -l '*nvidia*' | awk
'/^ii/{print $2}'
No packages found matching *nvidia*.
francesco_at_deb32:~$

francesco_at_deb32:~$ apt-cache policy
nvidia-{kernel-{source,common},glx}
nvidia-kernel-source:

Will that support be enough for VMD? If to try, it is
not clear to me which binary version of VMD 1.8.6 will
be most appropriate. I am not allowed to install any
graphics on the amd64 parallel opteron machine, where
QM codes run (and NAMD should be installed): there is
just no X system.

Thanks
