We just got our brand new leopard running mac pro , we have been having frequent crashes and freeze ups as well
Leopard version : 10.5.2 X version: 2.1.4 Coot version:0.5.1 Intel Mac Pro Most downright crashes where I had to resort to the power button came when i was runing coot. When running ccp4i , it seems understandably less taxing on X. But even with that I always have the gui windows bleed through into other windows. Not to mention the fact that spaces is entirely unuseable. To think that linux has had outstanding "spaces" like multiple desktop functionality for years.. Just my rant against leopard and X and I agree with Bills sentiment..makes me want to go back to gentoo-linux....but then we just spent almost 3K on this machine and I am sure hoping these problems will soon disappear A willing guinea pig Hari Jayaram On Sun, Mar 23, 2008 at 6:19 AM, Phil Evans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Bill > > I've been using 10.5.2 plus the X11 2.1.4 update from the Xquartz > site, & I haven't had problems with freezing lately, I _think_ not > since this update.
