Hi Alexandra and Matt I am using OSX Sierra 10.12.2 and Xquartz 2.7.11 and noticing severe degradation in performance with coot and pymol. I can get the program to load up and X11 window comes up. But if I try rotating even a small 30kd protein , the rotation is smooth for two seconds and then the molecule stops responding to the mouse.
I have tried this on a Macbook Pro and Macbook Air with different levels of RAM ( 8GB and 16 GB ) and graphics card with same Xquartz and am close to convinced there is something strange with Sierra and Xquartz ( a few months before my Sierra upgrade -early Dec 2016 , I didnt see any issues with El Capitaan ). Wanted to add to your thread in case more people see this Hari On Thu, Dec 1, 2016 at 6:24 PM Matthew Bratkowski <mab...@cornell.edu> wrote: > I recently upgraded to Sierra 10.12.1 and found that none of my > crystallography programs (Coot, ccp4, phenix) worked.
