Now, could this broken xorg library be the reason that on my Fedora 7 system (kernel 2.6.23.14-64, xorg 7.1) with ATI FireGL T2 128 graphics card, the latest ATI driver I can get from livna (catalyst 7.12 - version 443) installs just fine and gives ripping performance (40% faster than earlier versions), but some applications don't like it at all? For example, the pymol display window remains forever useless. See a screenshot at http://www.flickr.com/photos/b5foan/2245587039/sizes/l/ Same stunning effect with glxgears or fgl_glxgears, except is also moves. Note that the problem only relates to 3D performance. VLC plays videos just fine. The graphics card itself is recognized just fine (lower right of screenshot). Can anyone suggest a solution? Or do I just patiently wait for updates while my MacBook Pro goes on solving structures for me? Thanks Andreas
