Flicker problem here on a PowerBook 1.5 G4 w/ 64 MB ATI card under 10.4.3 however, if I launch X11 and run PyMol under that - (version 0.97), then there's no problem

I've just tested a G5 imac with a GeForce FX5200 with 64MB RAM and macpymol 99beta21/25 and it works fine with 10.4.3. It seems the problem is limited to ATI graphics cards with less than 256 RAM. nVidea cards are not affected. Will try an ATI card with 128MB RAM if I can find one here.

I have also used my powerbook which has an ATI card and has the flicker problem to boot (via target mode firewire) a G5 iMac with an nVidea card and there is no problem when the powerbook system uses the iMac graphics.

Tested 99beta21 and 99beta25 on a dual 2.5 with ATI 9800 XT (256 MB) with 10.4.2 and it works fine. After upgrading to 10.4.3 on that machine, everything is still fine.

Also tried 99beta25 on my machine (ATI 9600 Pro - 64MB) and that still has a problem. I then booted into my back up clone which is at 10.4.2 and 99beta21 and 99beta25 work just fine. So the 64MB ATI cards look to be dodgy under 10.4.3 whilst the better spec ATI ones are OK. Will try and find a nVidia 64MB equipped mac for comparison.

On my iMac G4 (nVidia GeForce FX 5200 with 64 MB VRAM), I have not noticed any change after updating to 10.4.3. I use a self-compiled PyMol 0.98.
