Hi, All,

Thanks for your help

After lunching pymol, if I drag the Xterm window produced by PYMOL using mouse, my computer will suddenly freeze, the keyboard seems no longer functioning. The only thing I can do is to re-boot my Linux system. This problem makes it almost impossible for me to use PYMOL on my LINUX box(CENTOS 4 i386). I have had the same problem when using COOT, ccp4i. Relacing the keyboard and mouse with new ones can not solving this problem.

Hi Yanming,

I'd say there are 3 possibilities:

a) most likely your hardware is broken. I suggest to check memory by running memtest86+ for many hours; there should be 0 errors. b) less likely: your graphics driver is somehow very misconfigured. Are you running the NVIDIA-supplied graphics driver that you somehow manually configured? If so, after saving /etc/X11/xorg.conf try running system-config-display, choose the VESA driver or the CentOS-supplied NVIDIA driver if applicable. It will be slower but maybe more stable. c) other operating system reasons. Use 'dmesg' and try to understand its output; at least check for error messages.
