Hi all and thanks to Warren for such an awesome program.
Just switched my lappy to Fedora 4 and I have some questions regarding
whether or not my configuration is correct. For some reason PyMol has
been running a lot slower in Linux than previously in Windows,
especially when resizing the screen or with the surface displayed. I
have searched and searched both Fedora 3D forums and this one and cant
seem to find an answer so I thought id ask. I have attached my glxinfo
output and xorg.conf (which i configured myself because fglrxconfig
really seems to screw everything up). Im running a pentium 3.4 with
hyperthreading so theoretically Linux should be smoother considering
that Windows XP is horrible at managing dual CPUs. I also have a ATI
radeon 9800 but if I understand correctly PyMol doesnt take advantage of
Graphics Card memory? It this a possible future option? Just wondering.
Thank you all very much for any help of hints.
