Sorry to post back in.
As I posted yesterday , I have been trying to get pymol working on a
Macbook Air ( and MacBook Pro since yesterday ) and am now convinced the
X11 apps freezing problem is real and recurs frequently.
While rotating a molecule the X session stops responding , the window close
- window open-window minimize , red yellow green buttons gray out and then
the whole session freezes
I see this behavior on two machines I have tried using since my original
machine where everything was working but with an earlier brew installed
pymol ( 1.7.2 I think ) bit the dust.
IS anyone else seeing this with 1.8.2.1 and OSX?
Thanks

I have used homebrew to install pymol version 1.8.2.1

Hello All
Sorry for that post. The problem got fixed by a restart.
I failed to follow the unwritten rule of "non-Linux computers" :-) When in
doubt---restart
After a restart I tried pymol with a new user profile and it worked very
smoothly
I tried back with my migrated original account ...and the buttery smooth
rotation returned....Phew :-)
Sorry for the confusion
Thanks

Hi ,
I was happily using brew installed pymol 1.7.6 on my Macbook Pro (running
OSX Sierra) and then had a hardware failure.
I switched computers to MacBook Air running the same version of OSX (Sierra
10.12.2 ) and Xquartz (2.7.11) and now pymol ( and coot and other X11 using
applications) refuses to function with smooth molecule rotation on even a
30kDa protein.
I know the Macbook Airs are not that underpowered and am wondering how to
troubleshoot the lack of smooth rotation.
I have tried:
Reinstalling pymol (now running 1.8)
Reinstalling Xquartz ( still running 2.7.11)
Using an external mouse
ANd still have rotation that gets stuck. It starts rotating smoothly and
then locks up. I can see the Mac red/yello/green circles go gray like X11
is sleeping when this happens . It resumes after a second and rotation
cotinues .
Looking for others having the same issue does not pull up anything. I can
get smooth rotation in Chimera and Cuemol2 on this new laptop so it seems
to be a Pymol(Coot) X11/Xquartz issue that I dont know how to fix.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated since its two weeks till my
faithful computer returns from a hardware fix.
Thanks
Hari
