The "interest" in this specific client installation lies in its role as a bridge between in silico modeling and in vitro success, providing the computational muscle needed to explore massive chemical spaces for lead optimization.
This is typically a graphics driver issue. Ensure you are using a supported graphics card with certified drivers. If you have an NVIDIA card, verify that the security module (PAM) has not changed permissions on the NVIDIA device files (see the NVIDIA README for details). As a temporary fix, disable hardware acceleration in the 3D window preferences, though this will reduce graphics performance.
