Hi, >>Has anyone else run into cases where pymol will freeze the >>X-server (pymol doesn't repond to mouse or keyboard input; >>keyboard non-responsive to caps-lock on/off)?
no. >>I've only seen this while looking at several maps/masks (but >>that's most of what I use pymol for, so I'm not sure if >>that's the cause). same here, how big are your map files in MB, how much ram and swap space do you have?

I haven't the slightest clue. Does this happen immediately after loading the map or while rotating or what? But I can tell you that I'm running gentoo, w/vanilla sources 2.6.15 running in x86_64 mode (straight from kernel.org), 1.0.8178 nvidia drivers on a quadro4 980xgl video card. You might try as was suggested to upgrade your kernel. You can get 2.6.16 from kernel.org, copy your current .config into the root of the source directory, run make oldconfig, hit enter a bunch of times, then compile the kernel with make && make modules_install. You will have to recompile the nvidia drivers for the new kernel too. Hope that helps, Sabuj Pattanayek
