Both the retina AND regular Macbook Pros with the NVIDIA 650M chip experience this issue.

The XQuartz guys have faced numerous bug reports due to similar problems in the past, and they always throw in the "it's a driver issue" answer and close the ticket. So far, they have always been right and subsequent driver updates solved the problems.

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
