Hi all, I've searched all over to the answer for this but no luck. In short, skydome doesn't seem to be working, I only have a black background. Skydome is pointing at the following: $ file plaza.png plaza.png: PNG image data, 2048 x 1024, 8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced In the "Gnome Compiz Preferences" app, on the "Workspaces" tab, under "Cube", I do have Skydome checked and the image is pointing to the above file. I'm running Ubuntu and everything else seems to work fine. The only thing I can think of which might be causing the problem is that I'm using dual monitors. Can anyone give me any debugging pointers?

I have a similar sized background image and am using Twinview on dual monitors. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Col.

Can anyone give me any debugging pointers?Have you stated the full path to the image-file? Is the image-file really a valid PNG-file? Do you at least see a yellow/blue-ish gradient behind the "cube", when you have "SkyDome" enabled but _no_ image selected? BTW, what does the command... glxinfo -l | grep GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE ... in a terminal-window report you? It's a bit hard doing these "remote diagnostics" when people have problems and one does know little to nothing about the system in question. I've no idea about a TwinView-setup. At least I cannot test something like this myself. Best regards... MacSlow -- email - macslow@bangang.de www - http://macslow.thepimp.net lowfat - http://macslow.thepimp.net/sponsor-it
