Manually installing the same version (290.10) using nvidia's installer instead fixes the issue. My graphics card (according to lspci) is: nVidia Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600M GT] (rev a1) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install nvidia-computeG02-290.10-13.1, nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop-290.10_k3.1.0_1.2-12.1 and x11-video-nvidiaG02-290.10-13.1 from the repository ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/12.1/. 2. Try to use Celestia. Actual Results: Most celestial objects seem to disappear when getting close enough that they are normally rendered larger than dots. They are actually transparent, as can be seen by enabling place names. They also cast shadows, as can be seen from the attached Saturn screenshot. Mars is special in that it actually shows, but is transparent nonetheless. Expected Results: Celestial objects should not be transparent. I had the same problem with Mandrakelinux 10.0 back in 2004. I still have the screenshots... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
