Re: [PyMOL] SISGL video memory error

[DeLano Scientific]

This is almost certainly a problem with the SIS OpenGL drivers, which aren't
up to the high standards currently being set by nVidia.  

Again, the only useful advice one can offer is to update video drivers, if
possible.  Otherwise, it may be time to look for new or used laptop with an
nVidia (best), ATI (good), or Intel (acceptable) graphics chip.

Re: [PyMOL] hardware stereo problem

[DeLano Scientific]

Joris,

We used to experience this problem occasionally on Linux, but not anymore.

Your best bet is to update to the latest drivers.  If that does not work,
then this may be an unsolvable hardware issue on older cards.

Cheers,
Warren

Re: [PyMOL] generating a labeled stereo image

[DeLano Scientific]

Jong,
 
Based on ChangeLog, draggable labels should be present in 0.99 and above.
Control-left-click-and-drag on the label while in edit mode.
 
Cheers,
Warren

Subject: [PyMOL] generating a labeled stereo image


Dear Pymol Users,
 
I'm having a very difficult time moving labels/text in Pymol - to eventually
generate a stereo image. I've read the manuals, searched online, and tried
the obvious stuff with no success: 1) under edit_mode, I can't move any
labels!!  2)  I've also briefly attempted the pseudoatom approach, and the
command doesn't seem to work.
 
By what I've read online, this should work.  Am I missing something?  Is
this a function of the version I am working with?  Are there other options
to get labels in the figure?
 
Thanks for any help,

[PyMOL] SISGL video memory error

[Horacio Emilio Pérez Sánchez]

Hi,

I have a 1G memory laptop with a sis650 graphics card runnign windows 
xp. I use pymol a lot and sometimes I get the following error message:


Warning: can't create a new surface
Out of video memory
This program will exit

And the only solution for use pymol again is to reboot the computer.

Is it there another way to get rid out of this error message ?

Thanks

Horacio

Joris:

There is a thread (at least one, anyway) at the nvidia support forum,
that may address this problem:

  http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=85807

Note, however, that the problem the thread addresses is under linux,
not windows.

Re: [PyMOL] hardware stereo problem

[Schubert, Carsten [PRDUS]]

Joris,

this is a well known problem with the NVIDIA cards. It gets better with the 
newer highend cards but does not go away completely. You may want to invest in 
such a card and play around with different drivers.

[PyMOL] hardware stereo problem

[Joris Beld]

Dear Pymol users,

We have a problem with one of our hardware stereo equipped PCs.

For some reason, hardware stereo works fine for about 30sec but than 
switches to an inverted 3D image. And it keeps switching back and forth 
between the 'normal' 3D image and the inverted one, every 30sec. This is 
pretty annoying and even after reinstalling winXP, the right nvidia 
driver and playing around with all possible nvidia settings, we cannot 
find the problem. The problem is not Pymol specific, having the same 
problem in DSviewer. Does anybody recognize this problem?


The PC (AMD X2, 4GB, Nvidia quadro4 980XGL) is running winXP and one of 
the latest pymol builds (1.0r2).
The monitor is a high-end 21" (EIZO Flexscan T966) and we are using a 
stereographics emitter.


Thanks a lot in advance.
Best,
