Hi Ethan and Dale, I assume that you were talking about HD 5000 performance on Linux?
I confirm, for 64bit Ubuntu 12.04LTS and kernel 3.5.0, that the problem with the labels exists in coot on a HD 4000 machine. Apart from that quirk, the graphics are fast (and HD5000 would be even faster). best, Kay On Thu, 27 Mar 2014 11:52:48 -0700, Ethan A Merritt <merr...@u.washington.edu> wrote: >On Thursday, 27 March, 2014 11:25:32 Dale Tronrud wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> My lab desktop PC broke and I'm looking into replacements.
