Today I found out the vendor-specific drivers for my graphics card in the vendor-specific  CD. It is :  /media/Setup/Matrox/G200e/Linux/xorg-x11-drv-mga-1.4.2-8.el5.x86_64.rpm, then I installed it:
. After that, I wanted to update the driver, but it said that I had installed  the newer version of it in my server before:
 rpm -Uvh xorg-x11-drv-mga-1.4.2-8.el5.x86_64.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
        package xorg-x11-drv-mga-1.4.2-10.el5.x86_64 (which is newer than xorg-x11-drv-mga-1.4.2-8.el5.x86_64) is already installed
        package xorg-x11-drv-mga-1.4.2-8.el5.x86_64 is already installed

Oh. That is say, I had installed the vendor-specific drivers (xorg-x11-drv-mga-1.4.2-10.el5.x86_64 ) for my graphics card before I came to the problem of installing atk10.8.2.  
Is the xorg-x11-drv-mga-1.4.2-10.el5.x86_64 driver still too old and I have to update it again (where can I download the newer one?) ? Do I still need to update the the latest MESA drivers? What should I do then?
Thanks.

It is hard  to upgrade to RHEL 5.5 since the computer is a server but not a personal computer. But it maybe a good idea to update the driver. I will try it later. Thank you.

Yes, I can run "glxgears".Here is some of the results after I run the  glxgears:

8640 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1716.051 FPS

Is there anything wrong?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Here I have another question.
Today I uninstalled the 64bit version and try to install atk-10.8.2_32bit version. In my surprise, this time the vnl works well.
But my computer and system is 64bit(see the following informations), then why can't I install the 64bit version? Is atk-10.8.2_64bit version  only for the IA-64 platforms but not X86_64 ? Thank you!
By the way, I can run the aktpython in my computer both of the atk-10.8.2_32bit version and 64bit version.

Hi, is somebody help?
The following problem still exist in the latest updated atk -10.8.2-linux64.

the VNL can start, but once you open the icon such as viewer, database,custom,builder. the program will shut down directly.
the error message is :

./vnl: line 3:  1815 Segmentation fault      VNL_PATH=$EXEC_DIR/../.. PSEUDOPOTENTIALS_PATH=$EXEC_DIR/../../atkpython/share/pseudopotentials PYTHONHOME=$EXEC_DIR/.. PYTHONPATH= LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$EXEC_DIR/../lib $EXEC_DIR/vnl_exec $*

Tip:
here, the version of atk is atk-10.8.2,linux64. (the same problem also appear in the atk-10.8.1)  The linux version is Redhat 5.3 Enterprise x86_64. and my ulimit is :

I have never installed the ATK 2010.02 or 2010.08 in my cluster since I can't download these two versions now. But I had installed ATK-10.8.0 in my cluster and it works well. Now I want to update to the 10.8.1, then  I come to the problem reported above.

hi, everyone.
I also have the problem which had been reported by ipsecog on February 8, 2010, 22:28 in this forum:

I can run VNL fine (it starts) and can open the Editor, Job, and the Analyzer icons, but none of the other tools, such as viewer, database,custom,builder.As soon as I click on these icons, the program just shuts down directly.
Then it reports:
./vnl: line 3:  1815 Segmentation fault      VNL_PATH=$EXEC_DIR/../.. PSEUDOPOTENTIALS_PATH=$EXEC_DIR/../../atkpython/share/pseudopotentials PYTHONHOME=$EXEC_DIR/.. PYTHONPATH= LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$EXEC_DIR/../lib $EXEC_DIR/vnl_exec $*

Is there something wrong? and how can I deal with this error?
thankyou!

Thank you for your script. It will be perfect if you also give out an option to write poscar in Cartesian coordinates ^_^
