Hello All,
I just wanted to follow up the "Dashed Lines" thread
I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) and I reinstalled the fglrx
video card driver (xorg-driver-fglrx). I don't know what exactly did the
trick but I no longer have the "dashed lines" problem.
Oh and I am currently using coot-Linux-i686-ubuntu-8.04.1-gtk1 from binary.
Victory is mine!

Hello everyone,
Hello Petra,
We have had reports of something very similar in the past. I think it
is more than likely a bug in the graphics driver - the stipple pattern
for lines is not properly turned off when it should be (and as you
say, that has nothing to do with Coot). You may not have seen this in
other graphics applications because (I imagine) other programs are
more sophisticated in the way they represent graphical objects (i.e.
not with primitive GL_LINES like Coot does) - they use more widely
tested solid surfaces.
I don't know what you can do, other than badger your graphics card
driver provider (I'd be willing to work with them to address this, for
the record).
Maybe intrepid would be better? - just guessing of course.
Paul.
p.s. I am jealous of your big screen :) My best computer has a 19in
screen and will collapse in a big heap if you try to use both processors.
