RE: [PyMOL] File size?

[Warren D. <wa...@de...>]

Simon,

Most likely you need to install vendor-specific OpenGL drivers to enable
hardware acceleration (Linux can't ship with them because they aren't
open-source).  Refer to the web site for your graphics card vendor. =20

Without such drivers, PyMOL falls back on software OpenGL rendering,
which is much slower than RasMOL's more specialized molecule rendering
engine.  With a decent OpenGL graphics card and installed drivers,
PyMOL's performance should meet or exceed RasMOL.

Cheers,
Warren
