Hello. I am having this weird problem with my splash screens. Here is a picture

maybe it is because I am using dual screens? Another splash I installed is also doing this. Every time I login in, the jumbled images are different.

Any idea's?

Those "jumbled" images actually look like graphics card data corruption to me. Does the final desktop you reach look correct? You could be exceeding the limits of your graphics card.

My final Desktop is fine. My graphics card is a Geforce GT 520 2gb. I have no problems with it. The "normal" fedora splash is fine. Just these two splashes.

no other reply? really?

Sorry, was busy with some real life matters.

Are you able to reproduce this under a new user? (Just making sure some cache doesn't contain corrupted contents of what the splash should be).

I apologize for my late response. I finally got cuda 5 working

And as for what my second post..sorry. I was just upset about not having my favourite splash working.
Yes it happens to new users. What do you think it is?

I'm not sure what is causing this actually, it could be possible that the background image is somehow missing.
If you ensure Desktop Effects are disabled, then logout and back in again, does the splash appear properly?

I disabled Desktop effects. It still happens.
Start-up is faster though. But yes still happening.

What splash is it - could you post a link so I can try it? Have you updated it recently/when did the problem first occur? Hm, just reread your first post - unfortunately I haven't got a dual monitor setup

I can't find the other one, the file is called zCity.

Here is the other one:

What about standard splashs - do they misbehave as well?

No. the default Fedora splash is fine.

It is possible that the Splash screens you are trying to use have corrupted images for sizes your system needs, or are entirely missing them (causing KDE to fallback to displaying nothing - hence the jumble of corrupted imagery as uninitialized graphics memory is shown).

I thought that too. I took the images and enlarged them with gimp. twice my desktop size....Ugly but still worth a try. It didn't work.
