Description

A basic 3D rendering check using the PyMol molecular viewer. You must be using a card supported by the (DRIVER) video driver.

Ensure the nomodeset and (MODULE).modeset=0 kernel parameters are not set in your bootloader configuration
- You can see your current kernel options by running cat /proc/cmdline
Ensure the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist, or is a valid file that uses the (DRIVER) driver
Shut your system down entirely, then start it up again
If using a live image to test, ignore the above steps and simply boot the system from the live image with default options
Ensure that glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL renderer' does not return OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer or llvmpipe
Install the pymol package with the command su -c 'yum install pymol'

Launch pymol from a terminal
Go to Wizard => Demo => Representations. There should be a list of demos on the right side of the Pymol viewer window
Click on each demo in turn. For each demo:
1. Use the mouse wheel to increase or decrease complexity
2. left-click+mouse to rotate
3. middle-click+mouse to move around
4. and right-click+mouse to zoom in/out
Quit pymol

All demos should run without crashing
There should not be any obvious mis-renderings (flickering, surfaces that come and go...). Compare with reference screenshots below:
