Comment(by howarth@…):

 These issues should be taken upstream. Pymol will attempt to start
 hardware stereo rendering by default. Not all of the Apple drivers
 properly support this. I recently reopened a pre-existing radar concerning
 flashing of the Pymol view window on a GT120 card. In the past, this same
 issue was fixed for the Radeon HD2600 card which also was a driver bug
 with hardware stereo support. This issue can be avoided by invoking pymol
 with the -M option. Unfortunately the author of pymol passed away so we
 can expect little from upstream to fix this. We can only report this
 driver bugs to Apple and press them to provided proper hardware stereo
 support.
