Sorry for bringing up such an old thread, but I've finally discovered what
causes the flickering in OS X 10.8. It looks like XQuartz.app misbehaves
with stereo hardware. I've been able to reproduce the problem in OS X 10.6
and XQuartz.app, launching pymol with stereo enabled in an iMac with Nvidia
hardware.
In OS X 10.8, you're stuck with XQuartz.app, but to avoid the problem while
using the discrete graphics chip, simply launch your software without
stereo support. In the case of pymol, I've defined an alias for it (alias
pymol="pymol -M") in ~/.bash_profile

Thanks! I'm using 2010 Macbook Air (with Snow Leopard) and it has discrete GPU Nvidia 320M. I'll report if there are any troubles after update.
Best wishes,
Alex

Yes. You only need to install XQuartz.app for Coot to run, but everything else works right out of the box. Apple decided not to ship X11.app with Mac OS X anymore.
If you happen to use one of the latest Macbooks, as it is my case, you might experience weird graphical artifacts when using the discrete graphics processor (GeForce 650M) with XQuartz. Just switch to the integrated graphics until Nvidia fixes the issue.
Good luck,

Dear all,
Could anybody confirm that Phenix does or does not run on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, please?
Best wishes,
Alex
