Hi Roy and Carsten, Adding new features, like volume rendering, often requires using new technology. We added geometry shaders to PyMOL v1.7 to support rendering the new labels/callouts. Your video card does not appear to support geometry shaders. Many users remedy this problem by updating their graphics drivers. But, sometimes this doesn't help.
PyMOL works best with a dedicated graphics card. Integrated rendering systems that share system memory, which are often found on a laptops, are not sufficient for optimal PyMOL rendering. If PyMOL cannot compile or execute a shader then PyMOL disables GLSL-based rendering and falls back to the old-style fixed pipeline. In that case PyMOL complains but should still work, offering basic functionality. This way we can offer basic rendering for old or weak hardware while adding new features for better graphics cards. Last, we do not code only for NVidia cards. We stick to the OpenGL specification. Thus those systems that run PyMOL better have video cards and drivers that more thoroughly implement the OpenGL specification.
