Warren Yes ... this did the trick. The machine display was set to 65536 colours so I switched to 16777216.

Are you running in 16, 24, or 32 bit mode? Try switching to a higher bit depth if you can... Please let me know if this solves your problem. - Warren PS There is a different problem with picking on some versions of IRIX, which is related to a hardware driver problem which affects mouse motion while keyboard modifiers are held down. This is mentioned in the PyMOL FAQ. -- mailto:war...@sunesis.com Warren L. DeLano, Ph.D. Informatics Manager Sunesis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 341 Oyster Point Blvd. S.
