No consistent pattern. Both machines are x86, non-nvidia graphics cards
(which probably isn't helping). But, score at least one working setup
(yours) as a fully functional combination.
Yes always go with nvidia on linux x86/x86_64 if you can. Do you have an
ati/sis/3dlabs/intel product?
Pete,
We have been suffering this same exact symptom with our nVidia-base
64-bit RHEL workstation for over a year. I have spent enough time
troubleshooting the issue to have convinced myself that the problem
isn't PyMOL -- it is an inability of certain combinations of hardware,

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

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. It's good to hear that this
problem has been seen before (it's been one of those weeks for strange
computer issues).
I guess it shouldn't supprise me that there are issues with proprietary

same here, how big are your map files in MB, how much ram and swap space
do you have?
~5MB/map, 512MB RAM, ~2GB swap. I'd expect a segfault (or an exception at
least) if I was overloading the memory/swap, and CPU would drop if it was
running out of physical RAM and swapping too much.
