Hello forum,
I am quite a new user to that ray tracer. Just got a hold of the book and
installed the ray tracer in my Linux system.
Unfortunately i am getting the following error when i run one of the most
primitive commands:
···
****************************
sajjad@sajjad:~/Radiance/chapt1$ rview -vp 2.25 .375 1 -vd -.25 .125 -.125

sajjad@sajjad:~/Radiance/chapt1$
**************************
The scene is rendered though in the window , but after window resize event
it does not and the error pops up in the command line
Any idea why and how to get around that error?

I've never run across this error before. It sounds like a communication problem between rvu and the X11 server, or an unsupported request. Has anyone else seen this? Does it happen every time you resize the window?

Definitely no, I've never seen this before. If I'm gonna get an error from the X11 server, I don't get an rvu window at all.

A bit of googling showed that this is not an error that's unique to
rview/rvu (or Radiance in general).
I would think it's a problem with the graphics card driver (ATI was mostly
reported). You could try
to disable the 3D acceleration (won't affect rview/rvu, but other things
like blender) or use a standard
driver and see if that helps when you run rvu. If that's your problem
upgrade/downgrade to a different
driver version or replace the graphics card with another type/chip.

Thomas

Hello forum,
Thanks for the feedback on the issue.
If that is the problem of the graphics card then i think i am not on the
positive side.
I have ATI X1600 built-in my system

The free ATI drivers in X.org are actually fairly mature and stable. I personally would not ever go for nVidia.
If you are using a distro which default-enables Compiz desktop effects, such as Ubuntu, try disabling them:
System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects
Ubuntu defaults to a setting which give you semi-tranparent windows, smooth animations when launching apps or switching desktop. It's called 'Normal' in the control panel, When set to 'Extra', all the whizz-bang is enabled, leaving OSX and Windows 7 in the dust.
Try setting it to 'None', and see if your problem goes away. I had a similar problem on an Ubuntu box with nVidia card some time ago. rvu would launch, but then get stuck for up to 30 seconds. The fix described aboved sorted the problem.
