Summary	0002327: VM 6.1 worked fine until I upgraded from Fedora 31 to 32. All lunar images no longer show, nor does the text on image
Description	I upgraded to Fedora 64 bit 32 from 31 a few days ago. running atlun the ephemeris and that whole side of the page works fine. The image of the moon is a white ball, with white blocks where the text should be. I reinstalled VM 6.1 with no change. I installed it on a fresh copy of Fed32 on a different computer with no change. I located the textures in /usr/local/share/virtualmoon/Textures and they display on a jpg viewer fine. I am out of ideas..... John
Steps To Reproduce	Install fedora32 64 bit on a computer; install vm 61; see the white ball when atlun is run.
Tags	No tags attached.

Unfortunately this problem is now present also with Mesa 20, making problem with more graphic card. Also the latest Nvidia version no more support the trick. Because I not have the time to rewrite everything for new OpenGL fashion or Vulkan, I plan to not make a Linux version of the program for the upcoming version 7. The good point is the Windows version work perfectly under Wine. This is how I use it now. This is unfortunate but it look like only Microsoft care about maintaining compatibility with previous graphic library.
