Jeremy, Interestingly, while Xquartz-2.5.1beta1 doesn't eliminate the delays we see in starting pymol (where the Pymol tk window on top lags 30 secs or so), I found last night that the current xorg and mesa packages in MacPorts does. I am guessing that the issue was fixed with the new mesa+hw 7.8.1.
Nope. I forgot about this because there was no open bug report. Can you please open one to track this problem? Also, the mesa-7.8 changes are in 2.5.1_beta1.
Any idea what was changed in that which would have eliminated these lags in pymol?
No clue.
I have been assuming that the lag was due to some OpenGL initialization issues so this does make sense. Jack ps Were you actively looking at these pymol issues or is this a lucky fix?
7.8.1 was mainly a header file fix that doesn't really affect us.
