Furniture is shown as black boxes in 2D view

Post by baggins »

I have used SH3D without problems on my computer running Fedora 16.
Yesterday I upgraded to Fedora 18 (64bit) and now, when I choose to show the top view of the furniture in the plan, I only get black boxes.
Using the option to show the catalog icons works fine. making a photo of the furniture is also ok.
This happens with both the portable version 4 of SH3D as with the normal version.

As it happened since you upgraded Fedora, It's probably a bug in the graphics card driver. Does the create photo tool work at the lowest quality level?

Hm, before posting I only tried at the highest quality level...
I ran a test and indeed it does not work at the two lowest quality levels [:(]

This means that the graphics card driver doesn't support computing offscreen images.
Hope Fedora team will be able to help you...

After your reply I noticed several driver errors in the logs...
I replaced the driver with another one and that one seems to work OK!
Thanks for pointing me to the right direction.
