Alpha layers problem

[Zye Delcon]

I've seen other postings about this... no concrete solutions though. I'm on a mac, and ever since an update a few months ago, the alpha layers have been busted (i.e, covering my entire upper torso when they're supposed to only cover feet). Is this probmem EVER going to be fixed? It kind of defeats the release of mesh for anyone on a mac.

I've only heard this problem hitting people who are still running Leopard and/or have old video drivers.

so, upgrading to lion might fix it?

A friend of mine has also run into this problem.

She was running OS X 10.5 on a macbook pro.

an example of the problem on her computer : when she wore the alpha layer for a pair of shoes the top half of her avatar would disapear also.

as a temporary fix she used Imprudence viewer, which still uses the older graphics code. However Imprudence viewer does not show mesh.

When she updated to 10.6 the updated gpu drivers distributed with the OS corrected the problem. Now alpha layers show correctly on her computer when using the latest Linden Labs viewer and Firestorm 3.3.0

I've run into this alpha error where it can sometimes take out my entire body except for nipples (lol). The weird part? I'm not using a mac. Win7 with latest nvidia drivers... Thoughts anyone.
