Hi Ronn,

Over the years I have run into some minor rendering issues with ATI
cards in IDL but nothing like this. I'm sure you've suggested this but
your client should upgrade to the latest driver supplied by ATI (not his
PC vendor). I would also suggest running another openGL based
application to see if you see the same problem. When you say "sometimes
crashes", does IDL exit unceremoniously or does the OS go down? Do you
have "GPU Recover" enabled in the ATI driver control panel?

Like I said, I would first install the latest driver. If that doesn't
fix the problem I would get a replacement card from the PC vendor.
