For some reason, my coordinate system in OpenGL is getting all messed up with depth. When I put something more than 1 unit away from zero (in terms of the Z coordinate), I can't see the object. Furthermore, it seems as if the GL coordinate (-1, -1, 0) is in the lower left corner no matter what I do (and (1, 1, 0) is upper right). I've used OpenGL in Java and in C++ with GLUT before and am now trying out SFML, and haven't had these issues before, so maybe someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong?

A minimal example as best I can do:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/OpenGL.hpp>

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    sf::ContextSettings settings;
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "OpenGL Test", sf::Style::Default, sf::ContextSettings(24));

    settings = window.getSettings();

    std::cout << "depth bits:" << settings.depthBits << std::endl;
    std::cout << "stencil bits:" << settings.stencilBits << std::endl;
    std::cout << "antialiasing level:" << settings.antialiasingLevel << std::endl;
    std::cout << "version:" << settings.majorVersion << "." << settings.minorVersion << std::endl;

    glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);    // Black Background
    glDepthRange(-1, 1000);

    // run the main loop
    bool running = true;
    while (running)
    {
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
            {
                // end the program
                running = false;
            }
            else if (event.type == sf::Event::Resized)
            {
                // adjust the viewport when the window is resized
                glViewport(0, 0, event.size.width, event.size.height);
            }
        }
        glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);

        glLoadIdentity();

        // Comment this line to fix it!!?
        glTranslatef(-1.5f,0.0f,-6.0f);

        glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);                      // Drawing Using Triangles
            glVertex3f( 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);              // Top
            glVertex3f(-1.0f,-1.0f, 0.0f);              // Bottom Left
            glVertex3f( 1.0f,-1.0f, 0.0f);              // Bottom Right
        glEnd();                            // Finished Drawing The Triangle

        window.display();
    }

    return 0;
}
