Hello, GiD developers,

When I try to select a point with GiD16 on Debian12, the drawing screen goes black. The sample problem type is cmas2d_customlib. See attatched 2 figures.

It seems a problem related to the graphic card or driver
Try starting without graphical acceleration with
./gidx
instead
./gid

In any case, except for special purposes like testing doesn't has much sense to run a Linux version in a virtual machine hosted in a Windows machine, can directly run the GiD Windows version in the host.

Thanks for the nice support. The gidx command solved this issue.
