Dear Dan:
Are you using OS 10.2.3? You won't derive the benefits of the
acceleration unless you have 10.2.3. Beyond that, I am at a loss. On
my G4 iMac and even on my G3 ibook, x-windows based pymol has gone from
virtually unusable to almost as good as the native version (which, by
the way, can be downloaded here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pymol/pymol-0_84beta-bin-
osx.dmg.gz?download ).
I've cc-ed this to the pymol users list in case others have more
suggestions.
HTH,
Bill Scott

I've tried PyMOL (molecular modeling software), which now claims to be
accelerated for OpenGL in the new Apple X-windows version, but for me,
rotating protein structures is really slow. I was hoping to get
something approaching free rotation like I get with rasmol. What kind
of performance should I expect? I've tried it on a G4 DP/800 and a 17"
flat panel iMac.
Thanks,
Dan
