Hi everyone I have a couple of observations/problems, more in the irritating rather than serious category, but which I'd still like explanations for.
1. I have a Dell Precision machine with Nvidia graphics which generally works extremely well with Pymol. It's recognised like this OpenGL based graphics front end: GL_VENDOR: NVIDIA Corporation GL_RENDERER: Quadro2 MXR/AGP/SSE2 GL_VERSION: 1.3.1 NVIDIA 29.60 and is wonderfully fast. Occasionally, however, I start pymol and it's clear that the hardware acceleration isn't there - everything works but *slowly*. Sometimes just starting Pymol from a different terminal does the trick, sometimes not. Any explanations for this? I can't see any common factors in the situations where I've seen this behaviour. 2. Today, facing this problem, I was getting nowhere trying differnt (Konsole) terminals so I thought - what about trying a Gnome terminal. I did and the whole machine froze completely immediately after I pressed return. Had to reboot. Any thoughts much appreciated.
