[Gmsh] Linux Centos crashes when I zoom too fast

[Christophe Henrard]

Hi;
Thank you for your reply! I have a NVIDIA graphic card on my laptop but 
the Linux is running on a virtual machine. Maybe the VMPlayer does not 
support my graphic card and so, the Linux system does not see any?!? 
I'll try to investigate in that direction.
Thank you again for your quick reply.
Have a nice week-end,
Christophe
