Greetings,

Due to the number of problems that arise when rendering on Intel video
cards, we're going to automatically disable new rendering features if
an Intel video card is detected. You will be able to use PyMOL, but
with the older, slower, uglier rendering. Also, you can override this
autodetection  by manually setting "use_shaders" to 1 and
"sphere_mode" to 9.

The Intel Express and Intel HD chipsets are the worst offenders, but a
review also indicated others are problematic as well. If someone has
an Intel card that works perfectly and renders nicely with shaders,
please let me know what card it is. To do this, just start PyMOL and
copy these lines into an email for me:

 This Executable Build integrates and extends Open-Source PyMOL 1.5.0.3.
 Detected OpenGL version 2.0 or greater.  Shaders available.
 Detected GLSL version 1.20.
 OpenGL graphics engine:
  GL_VENDOR: XXX
  GL_RENDERER: XXX
  GL_VERSION: XXX

where "XXX" will vary based on your card. We will attempt to more
finely detect which Intel cards are good and which are bad so that we
can still deliver good performance to those whose video cards can
handle it.

Cheers,

-- Jason
