hi,<br>yes.. my colleague had the same problem<br>our observation was that... the crashes occur on machines which do not have a dedicated graphics card<br>I had an nvidia graphics card and it never crashed on my computer.....<br>
the effect occurs irrespective of whether the computer is a desktop or a laptop<br>and occurs only in linux... the crashes do not take place in windows......<br><br>actually similar behavior was seen with paraview...... (crash on linux with no dedicated graphics, no crash on windows, no crash on linux with dedicated graphics)<br>
which led us to suspect that it might be an OpenGL problem <br>but again I'm not sure.. <br><br>but we did not have access to the newer machines which has inbuilt graphics module (Core i range)<br>so we are not sure about that.....<br>

<font face="Arial">Hello,<br>
<br>
For a few weeks, I've been experiencing a weird problem. I'm
running the Linux version of GMSH (I tried with versions 2.4.2 and
2.5.0) on a Linux Centos 5.6 release (via a virtual machine player
VMWare). Whenever I open any model, if I get close to the part and
move, rotate or zoom, I get logged out of Linux completely and I
need to relog and reopen all my windows.<br>
<br>
To be more accurate, when I'm really close the the part, the only
thing that I can do is turning the wheel of the mouse to zoom out
slowly but not anything else. Then, once I'm far away, everything
seems fine and I can do anything (pan, rotate, zoom with the wheel
or the middle button). But if I zoom again too close, everything </font><font face="Arial">crashes and I get logged out. </font><br>
<font face="Arial"><br>
Is anybody having the same problem?<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Christophe</font>
