Hi,

I have a question concerning VMD compilation (which does work in principle)
and the graphics capacities that are available, in particular advanced options
like programmable shading

With the binary 1.8.5beta version of VMD I get
[..]
Info) OpenGL renderer: GeForce FX 5700/AGP/SSE2
Info) Features: RN MDE CVA MTX PP PS GLSL(OVF)
Info) Full GLSL rendering mode is available.
Info) Textures: 2-D (4096x4096), 3-D (512x512x512), Multitexture (4)
[..]

whereas the version I compiled from the current CVS version only leads to
[..]
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
Info) OpenGL renderer: GeForce FX 5700/AGP/SSE2
Info) Features: RN MTX
Info) Textures: 2-D (4096x4096), 3-D (512x512x512), Multitexture (4)
[..]

I guess it has something to do with OpenGL/graphics specific libraries and
include files, but I am not quite sure which are needed to get the same
result as in the top listing.

Any comments and suggestions appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
  Marc
