Problem with the Viper V550

[Thomas Demachy]

Hello,

this problem is not only encountered with vtk, but with some other
OpenGL-based software. the alternative I found to it is to upgrade the
graphic drivers, using nVidia TNT "Detonanor" drivers and not Diamond's
drivers.

You may also wish to upgrade the bios information of your drivers . Be
careful, though, with the bios upgrade.

Hope this helps.

Thomas
