  how can I enable direct rendering DRI on fedora core 2?

I have an ATI radeon 8500 LE,

Should I use the redeon driver, or the r200 driver?


You want the 'r200' driver. See:

http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/dri_driver_features.phtml

There are actually two drivers at the X level, called 'r200'
and 'radeon'. 'r200' is for Radeon 8500 and up, 'radeon' is for
older Radeons. Confusingly, they both use the same kernel level
driver which is *also* named 'radeon'. But the driver you
specify in the xorg.conf is the X level one.

Also, if your card is PCI rather than AGP, there may be some extra
work you may have to do...

[PyMOL] Making the selection indicators bigger

[Matthew Zimmerman]

Hello --

So I've installed PyMOL onto a new system, and I'm having trouble with 
the little pink indicators that pop up when you make a selection. On 
this machine they appear to about a single pixel wide, which on a 
1280x1024 resolution screen makes them practically invisible! I've tried 
poking about in the options a little but I don't know what to change... 
Any guidance?
