I just got a new MacPro dual quad this week and am finding with the stock X11 in 10.6.2 that the fink pymol 1.2r2 produces strobing in the Pymol viewer window. This seems to happen regardless of what setting I use for the stereo mode. Is anyone else seeing this issue with the OpenGL drivers for the Nvidia GT120 card? FYI, I added a MacPorts pymol 1.2 package last year so it is readily available for testing. I am reluctant to install Xorg 2.5.0 on this machine because the fink developers aren't testing or supporting building against that configuration on Snow Leopard. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

yes, we have an open ticket for this (originated by you). The HD2600 drivers were fixed in Snow Leopard, but the problem still exists with nVidia.

Installing XQuartz on Snow Leopard will not effect Fink. It just doesn't get used by Fink. Fink uses what is in /usr/X11. --Jeremy

I believe there was some concern about potential problems being introduced from forking the X11 used for the x11 program builds from the X11 of the running Xserver. Jack

Jeremy, Does this exist on all nvidia drivers in Snow Leopard or just for the newer ones like GT 120? Also, oddly the quickstereotest that George Staplin sent me doesn't exhibit any rendering problems. So I wonder if this isn't a slightly different issue. Jack ps I see the problem with the current pymol and the old pymol-0.99r6 prebuilt binaries for x86 at http://pymol.org/rel/099/pymol-0_99rc6-bin-macosx-x86-x11.tgz.

I have no idea. It was a bug found (by you on ATI 5600) in Leopard. The problem was fixed by ATI in Snow Leopard, but the issue also exists with some nVidia drivers... I suggest you file a bug report at http://bugreport.apple.com as it may need to be tracked for your particular hardware.
