	===Issues with Nvidia Linux graphics card driver===
	The X11 display has consistently crashed when running ParaDiS versions 2.0 and 2.2 and MD++ on a Dell Latitude D630 with an Nvidia Quadro 130M running Ubuntu 7.10. The window would render correctly for a few seconds, but then freeze. However, the simulation would still continue running. This error appears to be unique to Nvidia cards, because ParaDiS has been successfully ran on other Ubuntu machines. After hours spent reconfiguring the xorg.conf and searching for other libraries, the only solution found was to not use the closed-source Nvidia driver. Instead, the open-source nv driver had to be installed. This effectively renders the graphics card useless, and is thus not an ideal solution. If you have have a similar problem contact [[William Cash]] with the details of your system and any solution you might have found.
