White screen

Post #1by Bodkin » 29.01.2003, 23:38

After the program lanches, all I get is a white window. I'm using:
PowerMac G4 450 Graphite
Radeon AGP graphics card
and Mac OSX 10.2.3

Any suggestions?

(It ran fine on my Quicksilver at work...)

If I understand you correctly, the app doesn't crash, the menus and dialogs work, etc. but the view in the main window is blank (white).

No one else has reported this yet. Sounds like possibly some kind of problem with OpenGL. I'm not sure what to suggest.

You understand correctly.

Same problem

I have the same problem. The program starts, but the app window only shows a white background. Everything in the navigation menu is ghosted except for Go To Object. When I enter an object or lattitude nothing happens. I downloaded the full version from sf.net and not the A2 version.

No, nobody can help until you tell us what graphics card you are using and what version of its OpenGL drivers you have installed.

Some of this information is available in Celestia's Help menu.

The first thing to do, though, is to install the most recent graphcs drivers. Download them from the Web site of the manufacturer of your graphics card. That usually fixes most of the problems.
