[xcrysden] Error when rendering the fermi surface

[Gavin Abo]

Maybe it is because you are running XCrySDen in a virtualbox.  Does it 
happen when you do not use a virtualbox?

If the connection to your cluster is fast enough, perhaps you can try 
running XCrySDen from the cluster using X11 forwarding [ 
http://users.wfu.edu/natalie/s11phy752/lecturenote/PHY752lectLAPW.pdf ].

Though, it would best to try running it locally on a Linux computer.  If 
you don't have a dedicated Linux computer, but have a flash or external 
drive, you could try it on a live USB Linux operating system [ 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_USB ].

I don't think there is a software limit on the maximum number of rows in 
one column. However, if you know tcl programming, you can look more 
closely in the file xcrysden-1.5.60/Tcl/fs/wnFS.tcl as it looks like it 
does the rendering of the "Select bands" window.
