Ugh. Below I declared victory, but today I learned that the NVIDIA driver has a problem the nouveau driver did not have. Namely, when using the NVIDIA driver, if I plot a lot of stuff in the RGL window and then using the mouse expand the RGL window, R usually crashes.
One work-around seems to be to 1) close all RGL windows, if there are any 2) call rgl.clear() to create an RGL window 3) re-size that window using your mouse 4) do your plotting -----Original Message----- From: R-SIG-Fedora [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wittner, Ben, Ph.D. Sent: Monday, January 11, 2016 5:14 PM To: Tom Callaway; [email protected] Cc: Duncan Murdoch Subject: Re: [R-sig-Fedora] rgl.snapshot only captures a small portion what's visible in the RGL device window on CentOS 7 Tom, Bingo! I followed the instructions in the link below, which allowed me to install the nvidia driver, which fixed the original problem with rgl.snapshot. Thanks very much for all your help. I guess I'll file a bug in the CentOS Bug Tracker so that the nouveau driver might get fixed. I'll also post to R-help so someone with the same problem who only searches R-help and not this SIG will see the solution. -Ben -----Original Message----- From: Tom Callaway [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 11, 2016 4:10 PM To: Wittner, Ben, Ph.D.; [email protected] Cc: Duncan Murdoch Subject: Re: [R-sig-Fedora] rgl.snapshot only captures a small portion what's visible in the RGL device window on CentOS 7 I have not tried it personally, but these instructions seem correct: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/centos-7-nvidia.html Basically, edit the grub2 cmdline to include the extra option: rdblacklist=nouveau hth, ~tom == Red Hat The information in this e-mail is intended only for the ...{{dropped:19}} _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Fedora mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-fedora
