PyMOL Users,

   We have a user reporting problems with picking atoms using PyMOL 0.86
under linux with the Xig drivers, with both the Oxygen GVX1 and the Radeon
7500.  Has anyone else come across similar problems with any other
configurations?  Have solutions been found?

   Do people have Xig-based systems running in which they can pick atoms?

   PyMOL uses chroma-keying for atom picking, and is thus susceptable to
driver or hardware-level glitches in color rasterizatin or pixel-to-memory
copies (for example, the Radeon 8500 was broken in this respect and
required a special work-around).  I don't yet have a test machine set up
with Xig, so I can't currently follow this up...

Thanks,
Warren
