Dear Zhijie,

this sounds like a graphics driver issue. You can use the command
'lspci | grep -i vga' to find out what graphics chip you have on the
computer, and you should check /var/log/Xorg.0.log what driver is
actually used. If it is an NVIDIA card and the system uses the nouveau
kernel module, try and install the driver from the  NVIDIA homepage.

Best,
Tim

Hi Zhijie,

our system administrator has warned me sternly against touching RHEL 
6.4.  The same might hold true for CentOS.


I would be interested to hear from anyone running 6.4 successfully.


Andreas

[ccp4bb] COOT running slow after upgrading to CENTOS 6.4 from 6.3

2013-03-20 Thread Zhijie Li
Hello,

We have a curious situation here: after upgrading CentOS 6.3 to 6.4, COOT runs 
slowly every time after the "go to atom" command is executed - every rotation 
of the molecules takes nearly 1 second to finish. But if the "go to atom" 
command is never sent then the speed is normal. A COOT running in a virtual 
machine windows XP on the same computer behaves OK though. It doesn't seem to 
be a conflict with the CentOS 6.4 either, because COOT on another computer with 
newly installed CentOS 6.4 runs perfectly fine. So I guess it might has to do 
with some libraries that COOT might use. The computer with trouble have python 
upgraded to 2.7 from the python source code when it was running CentOS 6.3, 
could this be a problem?
