Dear Jason,
Thank you for your reply. I tried sphere_mode command on two machines.
On Fedora 13, PyMol 1.3
set sphere_mode, 5
disabled sphere display.
set sphere_mode, 4, 3, or 2 can show sphere, but it looks terrible.
One Fedora 8, PyMol 1.3
set sphere_mode, 5
also disabled sphere display. But 4 gives a beautiful sphere view.
It seems that I need to fix OpenGL on Fedora 13.
Best regards,
Xiao-Ping
