Re: [COOT] current Spacenavigator support
Hello, I wonder if anybody has actually gotten the 3DConnexion SpaceNavigator to work with Coot.. Apparently it is not yet supported by Coot itself, but the newest software of the device lets you assign different keystrokes to all the movement axes and emulate mouse movement (kinda funkily tho), and have different settings for each program (in my case X11, as I'm on OS X). It would also mean that some custom configuration on Coot's side would be needed, I guess.. If anybody has done this, would he/she care to share the configuration? On the other side, will this device be supported by Coot anytime soon, which would cancel the need for custom solutions? Right now UCSF Chimera and MacPyMOL support the device, so those programs could be looked into for examples. I'd appreciate any information you have on this. Best regards, Priit
[COOT] torsion restraints not working in newly installed coot 0.7-pre-1
Hi, I finally upgraded to 0.7 this morning via fink, but this seems to have caused a severe problem: torsion angle restraints are no longer functioning in real space refinement. Specifically, torsion angle restraints are turned on under refinement control, but real space refine is clearly not restraining the rotamers. I can see the rotamer probability from Validate, so it seems like the program is connected to the rotamer library ok. Looking at the stoplight output in the GUI, the torsion angle Z score is not displayed, and in the terminal window in which coot is running, the output is consistently torsions: N/A regardless of what residue I click. I would be grateful for any help in restoring this functionality. Thanks, -R

Well, I tried if scripting would do the trick and tweaked what I could, but it seems it just doesn't play out right. Just tapping the mapped key on keyboard does the trick, but pressing it types the character too fast and coot keeps spinning for a while after releasing. There is an option to make the SpaceNavigator send the stroke like a certain number of times per second, but it doesn't really do it well and for some reason gets stuck after a while so it keeps on typing the letter forever until the device is disconnected. Could be that the drivers are buggy (the latest are beta). Right now UCSF Chimera and MacPyMOL support the device, so those programs could be looked into for examples. I'd appreciate any information you have on this. Well, that is interesting. I wonder if UCSF is using X11... I don't think so. Although the SpcaeNavigator is supposed to work with Chimera in Linux as well. The pure X11 PyMOL doesn't work with the 3d mouse, but the MacPyMOL X11Hybrid version does, I don't really know how all that works though :P Regards, Priit
