#190 Black Inner surface

[Álvaro Serrano Morrás]

Hello,

when asking for the surface of a pocket in my protein it, the outer face of if appears normally, but the inner part is completally black, asi if the drivers wound't be working. The command set two_sided_lighting solves this by colouring the inner part the same as the outer one. My main concern is that when i launch the same pymol with the API i can see the inner face of the surface coloured in a shadowy way ('I suppose the normal way') only if i run the cmd.reinitialize() command.

Opening pymol from a script like this allow the surface to be displayed correctly but only if it has the reinitialize command

file = sys.argv[1]
pymol.finish_launching()
pymol.cmd.reinitialize()
cmd.load(file ,file)

I've tryied with the 1.2.2, a 1.8.2 and the 1.8.6 versions on pymol and always with the same results. I run a Centos7 with the default kernel, a graphyc card GeForce GTS 250/PCIe/SSE2, and the drivers from Elrepo.

Sincerely,
