Smooth Shade issues
My video card should work, it is not fantastic but here is the specs
Intel GMA 950:
Chipset Model: GMA 950
Type: Display
Bus: Built-In
VRAM (Total): 64 MB of shared system memory
Vendor: Intel (0x8086)
Device ID: 0x27a2
Revision ID: 0x0003
Perhaps there is something wrong with my Mac? I know it works on other Macs because that is what I use in class at Uni...
Has anyone else seen this problem?

The perspective view is the view with smooth shade turned on.

Nope, but I have to say I've used Maya 6.0 PLE at school which runs on Dells with an older GMA variant. It ran all right except for the 386 level performance, the lack of high quality mode and the constant crashing.

If its 7 then I would suggest that you have too much light (as you have quite a few)
Other than that I would suggest you get a new graphics card as if its onboard it wont really cut it.

I know the graphics card works on other computers with the same specs so I thought I might have the settings wrong, but perhaps it is a faulty card...
