Following up on Bill's report... We've updated to version 10.3.5 all the Mac's we have access to and have not been able to reproduce the reported problem. The configurations tested are:
Mono on an LCD: MacPYMOL 0.95 on a dual G5 with an ATI Radeon 9600 (RV350) MacPyMOL 0.95 on a dual G4 with an NVidia GeForce4 Ti 4600 MacPyMOL 0.95 on a G4 laptop with an NVidia GeForce4 MX (440?) PyMOLX11Hybrid 0.97 on a dual G5 with an ATI Radeon 9600 (RV350) PyMOLX11Hybrid 0.97 on a dual G4 with an NVidia GeForce4 Ti 4600 PyMOLX11Hybrid 0.97 on a G4 laptop with an NVidia GeForce4 MX (440?) chip Open-Source PyMOL 0.97 under Fink on a dual G5 with an ATI Radeon 9600 (RV350) Stereo on a CRT: MacPyMOL 0.95 on a dual G4 with an NVidia GeForce4 Ti 4600 Yoonsang Cho also reported no problems with the 10.3.5 update, so it appears that the problem reported is not a blanket systematic problem with the new MacOS X update, or with any particular brand of video card. Nevertheless, since Bill is apparently experiencing a real problem, caution may still be warranted until the situation becomes more clear. Cheers, Warren -- mailto:war...@delsci.com Warren L.
