Description

A basic 3D rendering check using the avogadro molecular editor. You must be using a card supported by the radeon video driver.

Ensure the nomodeset and radeon.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 radeon 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 avogadro package by running the command su -c 'yum install avogadro'

Launch avogadro from a terminal
Click on Tool Settings... in the toolbar to display the left-hand pane
Now, add some atoms to build a molecule. You can change the atom type with the Element and Bond Order drop downs on the left
By left-clicking on an existing atom and moving the pointer away, you create a link
You can use the hand tool to move atoms around
Once you've built a good looking molecule, use the blue star-shaped tool to change and rotate the view
Use the Esc key to toggle full screen
Quit avogadro

Avogadro should not crash at any point during the testing
There should be no obvious misrendering (e.g. flickering, surfaces that come and go, bad colors)
