confusion under XGL/compiz-fusion/KDE

Post by compiz-fusion-user »

Howdy XNview-Crew :)

First of all I have to thank you for your great job. Been using XNview for years now, both
on Windows- and Linux-Systems.

Now I took off for XGL & compiz-fusion & KDE & ATI-fglrx driver on OpenSUSE 10.2.
Unfortunately XNview is almost unuseable on this constellation. The whole GUI is
somehow transparent and looks like small resolution, the pictures to be viewed are kind
transparent, one can see the background and background-apps shinning through.

To verify this I also installed openSuse 10.2 x86_64 on my Desktop-PC yesterday.
Again with XGL & compiz-fusion & KDE & ATI-fglrx driver. Just downloaded XNview .rpm,
installed and kicked it off...looks like this again:

Code: Select all

OpenGL version string: 1.5.8 NVIDIA 96.39

starting it with

XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 xnview

should actually do the trick with any transparent window application.

anyway looking forward to the qt alpha.

opensuse 10.3 xnview OK ?

Post by terryxela »

I had the same problem as all of you with xnview 1.70 linux and opensuse 10.2 running beryl both, in a system with intel video chip and in another one with nvidia 8800 series.

Now I installed opensuse 10.3 (32b) with compiz-fusion in an intel video chip system; XnView-static-fc4.i386.rpm is working very well. I just load it
$ xnview

As soon as I install opensuse 10.3 (64b) in the system with nvidia 8800 I will post it.

For me is a great news to have xnview linux running until the new version comes. Yes the windows version runs well under crossover (wine) but I did not use it as a default image program as I had it with the linux version, just use it once in a while. Now I can install it as default again.

Guy,

I feel embarrassed about my previous message. Xnview under compiz-fusion has the problems as described. I was running the windows version under wine. So forget about the previous message.
