twod,
Thanks for the update, that really helps! $270 is not bad, I would like to go with a NVIDIA card but not finding much luck there. I will see if these cards are compatible with early 1,1 versions of the MAC Pro.
I have a NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 for Mac just sitting around dying to put it into a new Mac Pro, but don't have the funds for that at the moment. Thanks again for re-posting to this thread with more information.

sf_dude, San Jose Houdini user here.
If you come across a video card that will fix this issue, please let me know… so far I don't see many options. I really want this to work since I paid the $99 bucks for it.

Houdini 10.0.734 re-installed and working as normal. Just to let users with the same UI issue as I'm having know. Do you think there is something that was broken in the code while developing to 11 for users with this card? I know we probably represent a very small amount of the market, but maybe the sidefx developers could take a quick look into it? I also submitted a bug on sidefx.com.
BTW thanks for your help twod! Ultimately upgrading to a better graphics card is probably best in this situation anyway. I think I have had this one for over 3 years now maybe.

This seems to help at start up and initially looking at the UI. Upside down text still appears and the “Scene View, Channel Editor, Render View & Composite View” tabs text disappears when clicking on a object node. The tab text then re-appears right when the mouse is moved. Perplexing as Houdini 10 works fine.
Also once placing and object into a scene and switching to “render view” and then coming back to “scene view” the background stays black. Of course probably a limitation of the card itself and the bug that you mentioned. Just figured I would put it out there for any other users running the same card with H11 newly installed that might be browsing the forum for this issue.
So in summation, get a new graphics card? Any suggestions that won't set a user with a limited budget back too much?

In the MAC the Graphics card is listed as a = ATY,RadeonX1900
The drivers are up to date and Houdini 10 is still working fine with this Graphics card. I wonder if support for this card was dropped in the new H11?

To start off, sorry if this is the wrong area to post a UI issue, I am new to the forum.
Today I installed Houdini 11 after running H10 for a year or so. I was able to install the product with no issue other than a simple user interface issue where I am unable to place an object, change the simple “box” to smooth wire shaded or any other setting to see “materials” or any other view that will display the box in a non-wire frame mode. I have also noticed that where you would usually see “Render View” and the 3 other tab's there are no letters there. Further more I noticed that there are no letters in the “canvas” view when trying to switch to your camera or perspective view.
Just as a sanity check I loaded up Houdini 10 and I placed a box in a scene, changed the box to smooth wire shaded, the box is shaded…the text shows up in the UI for render view etc…
Is there a known bug for Houdini 11 on MAC Snow Leopard 10.6.6 running 2x 3GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors? Or am I simply doing something wrong with the initial setup of Houdini 11 potentially? Since Houdini 10 still works as expected, I was starting to think there might be a bug? Any help is greatly appreciated as I would like to dive into this new product. Thank you
I also attached a file of what I see when loading up Houdini 11. The UI is pretty much there, other than some text to let me know what a tab is etc…
