PyMOLians and Warren,
        I am using Redhat Linux 7.1 to run PyMOL.  It seems
to be slightly lagging.  Is this just because of the
graphics card?  On another computer, a Mac, it runs
quickly and smoothly.  Does anyone have any advice on
how to spice up the beauty that is PyMOL?
Thanks,
Jules

 

What graphics card are you using? I had a problem manipulating a 6 kD 
protein  under windows XP with a GeForce4 Ti ! This was all due to using 
the latest NVidia WHQL certified driver. I re-installed the old drivers 
and it works fine again. Problems under linux are probably due driver 
and/or X configuration. Try downloading the linux drivers for your card 
from the manufacturer and follow their instructions for installation.
