I've encountered a problem where PyMol will no longer display molecules
using normal rendering on my machine. (Symptoms: I load a molecule and see
nothing, but if I raytrace the image, the result looks fine). I've
verified that this happens in pymol versions 0.97 and 0.98beta18.
System details:
OS: Win2K
Graphics Card: Radeon 7000 series
Graphics Driver: the most recent ATI driver suite (6.14.10.6483).
I'm not 100% certain, but I am pretty sure that the problem dates to my
update of the graphics driver. Any suggestions as to how I might work
around this problem?
Here's PyMol's startup output, in case that's useful:
