| Code: | bedazzled@bedazzled ~ $ sudo emerge -pv cairo
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild U ] x11-libs/cairo-1.1.1_alpha20060115 [1.0.2] USE="X doc glitz png" 0 kB [2]
Total size of downloads: 0 kB
Portage overlays:
[1] /usr/local/overlays/custom
[2] /usr/local/overlays/xgl

Hmmm, seems to be permissions problem.
I thought that --pretend doesn't require to be root, does it?
Anyway, back to building.  |

| Well, I don't think you actually need cairo to get xgl to work - it's only if you want to have fancy svg effects in xgl, with apps that use cairo. |

ianegg: Cairo is required for GTK+ 2.8.x and later IIRC.
Xgl didn't made it. 
| Code: |
checking for DRIPROTO... configure: error: Package requirements (xf86driproto) were not met:
No package 'xf86driproto' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DRIPROTO_CFLAGS
and DRIPROTO_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Yeah, the cvs version of cairo is only needed for gtk to play nice with xgl, so you can download the cairo gtk engine and have it drawn as vector graphics when you zoom/rotate the cube etc.
Try changing the --enable-dri line in the xgl ebuild to --disable-dri, and see if that helps. (Probably won't work on ati) |

@bedazzled: Probably the ebuild does not work well with the current xorg6.8/7.0 portage transition state. That ebuild belongs to the modular xorg-x11 package bunch.
My experiences with the new ebulid bunch:
- Xkb stuff now seems to work
- Some apps tht didn't work before (eg xterm) now do work
- glxcompmgr now honors the gnome panels, i.e. maximised windows stay within (before they were maximised over the whole screen)
- qt apps still send xgl to segfault hell
- Windows that weren't activated by glxcompmgr before (and shouldn't because I've set them not to, i.e. two gkrellms) are now
All in all I'd say better than before

I emerged xf86driproto, probably missing dependency.
I have nvidia though, let's see...
ps: Has anyone tried Xgl with the open-source Xorg radeon driver (r200)?
I'll test it later on my laptop (Radeon9000). |

I builded it with these options (./configure --enable-xglserver --enable-glx --enable-xkb --disable-kdriveserver --disable-ipv6)
Then i tried to start a second X session:
1) Xgl :1 -ac
2) Xgl :1 -ac -accel xv -accel glx:pbuffer
3) Xgl :1 -ac -accel xv:pbuffer -accel glx:pbuffer
Neither of them worked, X ended abruptly with the following message -> *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x00000000007c7810 ***
I spoke with Airlie (X developer) in #freedesktop@irc.freenode.net and he told me that he experienced the same issue with xkb compiled in, so i omitted it for a second build.
Well, now Xgl starts, but pretty useless without xkb. 
ps1: No, it's not a glibc issue (i have glibc 2.3.6+gcc 4.0.2 if anyone wants to know).
ps2: I have Xorg 7 modular, ~amd64 arch and nVidia GeForce 6600 GT PCI-E GPU+closed-source nVidia drivers(8178). |
Just recompile without --enable-xkb , it's broken.

I managed to build and start Xgl.
But when I type LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ glxcompmgr, everything on the screen blacks out!
Then I have to switch to a VT, killall glxcompmgr and everything turns back.
My experience:
1) All the pictures that have a transparent part, that part is black. (I have experienced this bug in the past with Xorg 6.8.2-r2 sth + OpenOffice if you remember.)
2) kdm text boxes (user+pass) show garbled text, though gdm seems fine. Qt issue?
3) mplayer tops up to 70-80% cpu usage playing a divx in a normal window (if I maximize the window, mplayer locks up). Finally transparent xterm over XVideo works, i used the old xcompmgr+transset.
4) tvtime (and other tv progs I assume) shows garbled image.
5) keyboard doesn't switch languages anymore (Greek layout)
6) Overall I didn't notice any speed improvement.  |

That disappeared for me after updating Mesa.

I had the same, but solved it.

Mplayer worked very nice. After yesterday's update mplayer -vo xv performs bad.

Broken here as well. But numlock seems to work a bit now

The latest update causes glxcompmgr to blank the screen for me. If I have nothing running in the root window, then it shows the default background, and makes the windows black.
I get the black transparent parts, as well as random black widgets. Certain fonts are garbled, and I've never had tvtime working.
Before this everythig was working perfectly apart from some videos with Xv and all tv programs.
Mesa CVS is up to date.  |

Hi
Anyone else having problems with the cvs? I use the xgl ebuild from hanno's blog.
| Code: |
* Running cvs -q -f -z4 -d ":pserver:anonymous@cvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/xorg" update -dP -rxgl-0-0-1 xgl-xorg
cvs update: warning: cannot open /cvs/xorg/CVSROOT/val-tags read/write: Permission denied
* Copying xserver/xorg from /usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src ...
|
Did they change something on the cvs server? |

I'm getting this when Xgl starts: | Code: | No matching visual for __GLcontextMode with visual class = 4 (32770), nplanes = 24
No matching visual for __GLcontextMode with visual class = 4 (32770), nplanes = 24
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/OTF, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/CID/, removing from list! |
I doubt the font error has anything to do with the black windows, but does anyone understand the __GLcontextMode errors? I get them repeatedly through a session too. |

For me its working very stable for alpha software. Only kde and qt apps crash it. And yes, it is a way faster than normal X. Moving the wobbly windows is very smooth and so is everything else.
Very sad, that I will have to wait some months to use this daily. |

I have the same problem, as soon as I start glxcompmgr, all the windows inside xgl turn black. |

Doesn't everyone have to be using xorg 7 for this to work? I've been using it since rc2, and I tried nxsty's monolithic ebuild before that, which was extremely good, just a shame he hasn't patched the modular version. I completely forgot it was still masked in Gentoo
So, has anyone found any cool new features or bug fixes? |

That you're requesting help on (probably) buggy and (certainly) alpha software.
