CLOTTER  Hi,

I had the same problem with VMD 1.8.5 and 1.8.3 until I added the apple supplied comment to my .xinitrc file in my home directory. VMD works

locally after restarting X windows.

BUT!!! Importing another VMD session, say from

a LINUX box, does not work even with this fix.

vi .xinitrc ;;; then insert this line before the end

.

.

.

# snip

defaults write com.apple.x11 enable_stereo -bool true

# end snip

# start the window manager

exec quartz-wm

Cheers,

Joseph  (Version 1.1.3)

MR.BRICOLAGE  I am a fairly new Mac-user and have a question: the text to the update says 'To tell X11 to take advantage of stereo visuals, enter:

$ defaults write com.apple.x11 enable_stereo -bool true'

Where do I enter that command line?  (Version 1.1.3)

JENJOHN  hi -

i downloaded this update for my intel imac and now it appears that i am unable to run VMD (http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/)

(i run vmd_linux remotely on my mac from our lab cluster headnode). It just crashes immediately after opening, with a segmentation fault.

When i use strace, i seem to have errors in with GLX (as one would expect!) eventhough I have done the "defaults" update command as recommended. Has anyone else had this or a similar problem?  (Version 1.1.3)
