Ok Brion,
Here is a more complete question.
I have attempted to setup SVG to PNG rendering and it does not seem to work on 1.7.1. I checked the Defaults file in includes and I have verified rsvg is properly installed. I have also enabled the DebugLogFile option and attempted to run a trace the results indicate this section of code is not even activating as there are no messages being output to indicate that the RSVG section of code is even becoming active during rendering. The mine/type detection does appear to work in that SVG images are in fact detected. This would indicate an underlying problem in either te FC5 base I am using or the MediaWiki 1.7.1 code.
I have not found any other posts relative to 1.7.1 to indicate what fixes or problems exist for these cases. Is this a known problem in MediaWiki 1.7.1 and is it simply the intention of requiring SVG rendering in the browsers themselves by default?
Thanks
Jeff

And Brion,
This is the most unprofessional and community hostile notice I have ever seen - if I read this right is says:
"...eat our stuff, bugs and all, and you are on your own if you need help, we don't care..."
:-)
Many project websites link to this document in their sections on how to get help. That's fine, it's the use we intended — but if you are a webmaster creating such a link for your project page, please display prominently near the link notice that /we are not a help desk for your project!/
We have learned the hard way that without such a notice, we will repeatedly be pestered by idiots who think having published this document makes it our job to solve all the world's technical problems.
If you're reading this document because you need help, and you walk away with the impression you can get it directly from the authors, /you/ are one of the idiots in question. Don't ask /us/ questions. We'll just ignore you. We are here to show you how to get help from people who actually know about the software or hardware you're dealing with, but 99% of the time that will not be us. Unless you know for /certain/ that one of the authors is an expert on what you're dealing with, leave us alone and everybody will be happier.
