12. Compatibility list OpenGL

This is the list of the tested graphic cards. VEGA can work also with some untested cards.


Working:

Graphic card Version OS
Asus V3800 TNT2 (NVIDIA TNT2)   - 2000
Intel 810E integrated graphic card

1.5.1

Matrox Millennium G200 1.5.1 98SE
Matrox Millennium G200 MMS 1.4.3 XP
Matrox Millennium G400 1.5.1 98SE
Matrox Millennium G450 1.5.1 2000 SP-3
Matrox Millennium G550 1.5.1 2000 SP-4
S3 Trio 3D 1.5.1 2000 SP-4

*It may not work with the standard OpenGL driver. If you have problems (e.g. VEGA crashes displaying big molecules, no alpha-bending, no anti-aliasing), download the old OpenGL32.dll and copy it in the VEGA installation directory.

Not full working:

Graphic card Version OS
Matrox Millennium P650 1.5.1 2000 SP-4
Matrox Millennium P750 1.5.1 XP
Matrox Parhelia 128 Mb 1.5.1 XP

The Matrox P-series cards aren't fully compatible with VEGA because they show artifacts when the anti-aliasing is enabled. The Matrox Developer Support doesn't want to spread the technical documentation to freeware and shareware software developers. Without this information, the VEGA team can't fix the problem and it doesn't understand this Matrox position that offends the factory image.

Important note:
starting from the 1.5.0 release, the Intel OpenGL ICD driver trouble was resolved and so VEGA can work in true color resolution  with Intel 81x and 84x graphic chips.
