Description of problem: I tried to look at a few pictures in gliv. But I only get a black screen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gliv 1.9.6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start gliv 2. choose a directory Actual results: the pictures are not displayed. The title contains the image names... But only a black screen is displayed. Expected results: the pictures should be displayed in the main frame of gliv, or there should be a message indicating why it is not possible. Additional info:

[I'm the gliv author] I need more details to help you: - video card? - does it happen both when gliv is in full-screen and window mode? - does it happen both with small images and large images, images with an alpha channel (opacity) and without? Can you try with these images (is you have them on your system): /usr/share/icons/Fedora/16x16/places/start-here.png /usr/share/pixmaps/gnome-logo-icon.png /usr/share/backgrounds/images/flowers_and_leaves.jpg /usr/share/backgrounds/translucent/ellipsis.svg
Also, what does glxgears -info say?

Video Card: NVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] Window mode and full-screen mode It only happens with the images in the main window. The preview images in the menus work perfectly. I have yet to see one image working. Well I tried now: /usr/share/backgrounds/translucent/ellipsis.svg works at least I see something like in eog. the start-here.png is presented as a small icon in a large no background window. The two others do not work, i.e black screen. BTW: The little example by glxgears -info does work O.K. So I saw at least two working images.
OK, so you can only see images with an alpha channel. Anyway, according to your glxgears -info output it seems you are not using the hardware acceleration of your nVidia board. Can you also attach your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and the output of dmesg. Thanks.

- Does this mean that I can't use gliv? - Is there no way to check it and at least inform the user?
> - Does this mean that I can't use gliv? In the current situation, yes. But you can install the proprietary nVidia drivers to get an OpenGL acceleration. > - Is there no way to check it and at least inform the user? None that I know of.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Ok, it's time to close this old ticket in hope that new Mesa has everything we need to show images using both software and hardware acceleration. (Un)fortunately I failed to reproduce this issue on both F-12, F-13 and F-14. If this issue is still valid then you may either just reopen this (and change Fedora version accordingly) or create new ticket. Anyway F-12 will be eoled soon and we can't do much here.
