confusion under XGL/compiz-fusion/KDE

[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:

hello (Bonne soir a tous)
i've managed to get it working under beryl
by using XnView-openmotif2.2.i386.rpm (v1.68 )
on PclinuxOS 2007 kernel 2.6.18.8.tex5
with nvidia 96xx drivers

Code: Select all

OpenGL version string: 1.5.8 NVIDIA 96.39

with openmotif 2.3.0,package: openmotif-2.3.0-1pclos2007
needed to symlink
ln -s /usr/lib/libXm.so.4.0.0 /usr/lib/libXm.so.3
at first there was transparent areas but after
xnview -help

Code: Select all

[homer@localhost]$ xnview -help

i've started xnview with cmdline:
xnview -visualid 0x21
and the result is:






its great program !please continue linux development

[duke74]

aparently v1.70 static also working on pslos 2007 & beryl



using same command line

./xnview -visualid 0x21

(i'm not shure if screen capture is working and there are some
minor glitches about scrollbars)

[timebomb]

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.

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.
