I am forwarding a reply from James Stroud on using the Quadro FX4500 under OSX (either PPC or MacIntel). I was wondering if anyone has succeeded to get full screen stereo display to work in Coot with the Quadro FX4500 (OSX, PPC or MacIntel) and how its performance compares to Coot running under Unix. Perhaps William Scott would like to comment. Cheers. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: James Stroud [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mon 9/18/2006 8:09 AM To: Chris Ulens Subject: Re: [ccp4bb]: Quadro FX 4500 Hi Chris, I'll answer in-line, below: On Sunday 17 September 2006 05:12, you wrote: > Dear James, > Thanks for those insights. > Would you care to share more details on your experience with the Quadro > FX4500 under OSX: -does it support full screen stereo under Coot and Pymol? "Full screen" is kind of a misnomer. Its up to the application to take over the full display. As far as I know, niether of these do "full screen". The X-windows version of pymol for OSX can get nearly full screen. The ideal mode is called "stereo in a window", so that the rest of the screen can be visible without side-effects. The setup we have does this just fine for both O and pymol. Right now, I think coot should be able to do stereo for Mac OS X, but it needs to be properly compiled (a real trick). So far, I don't think anyone has done this yet, but its probably not too far in the future. > -are you using a flat screen from Apple or a CRT monitor for stereo > display? -which emitter or you using in combination with the Quadro card?

Cheers. I will be doing this next weekend as a matter of fact. I'll let you know how it works. > -Chris James -- James Stroud UCLA-DOE Institute for Genomics and Proteomics Box 951570 Los Angeles, CA 90095 http://www.jamesstroud.com
