In OpenGL, I display a simple model. When I enable the depth buffer,

glEnable(GL_CULL_FACE);
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glDepthMask(GL_TRUE);

everything disappears. I read this OpenGL FAQ, but it didn’t help me.

My perspective settings are: angle=45deg, near=1, far=40, I put model at (0,0,0) and I place my eye at (0,0,4). Without the Z-buffer, I can see the model.

What could be wrong?

    Did you make sure you clear the depth buffer?

    glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
