Hi everyone,
I just updated X11 as well.  However, Coot (or any other X11-based program) still will not display in stereo.  When I try to turn on stereo in Coot I get:

Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from (NULL) pointer to `GtkWidget'
CATASTROPHIC ERROR:: in gl_extras  no GtkGL widget!
WARNING:: switch to hardware_stereo_mode failed

The Aqua versions of pymol and chimera will display stereo just fine.  Is there something else I need to do before stereo will work in Coot? 

Thanks for any help.

Chris

Hello All,

It seems like apple released a new X11 via software update that cliams to address stereo issues. Has anyone tried it with coot?

Yes, I just tried it and it works very well! But for some reason, if I switch on the stereo when I am displaying a map with antialias on, both the map (but not the model) and antialias get switched off. However, if I then manually turn on antialias again and re-select the map in the display manager, then I am able to display the antialiased map in stereo. Apart from this glitch (or feature?), it does look great!
