Ok, thanks both for the quick response  was hoping DavidR may have turned waimea into compiz, hence no gnome deps, but appears not, looks like its linked to gnome for Novell linux..
Xgl works on my Powerbook, but no window decorations with compiz

maybe this would be better:

only "compiz --replace gconf" causes no window decoration |
if you use gconf you need to add all the modules you want to load to the /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins key. |
you are absolutly right...
the way i have wobbly and all other effects running with gconf (with decorated windows [title bar, borders, lines]) is to do...
add decoration key to
/apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins
(but as the second key, after gconf, before wobbly, else you become an error)
then you can run
| Code: | | compiz --replace gconf decoration fade switcher move resize place minimize cube rotate zoom scale wobbly |
and you have all fancy effects 
here is my start script...
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
Xgl :1 -ac -accel xv:fbo -accel glx:pbuffer &
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib DISPLAY=:1 compiz --replace gconf decoration fade switcher move resize place minimize cube rotate zoom scale wobbly
DISPLAY=:1 gnome-window-decorator &
DISPLAY=:1 gnome-session &
DISPLAY=:1 xbindkeys & |

Anyone know how to use the expose feature of xgl that lists your open windows in a filmstrip?
I know f12 sorts all your windows into previews, but I loved the filmstrip feature on macs and can't figure out how to do it with xgl.
Also anyone else's pager messed up in gnome? mine only shows one workspace and its all squished..
besides that xgl running awesome here tho =)

What's this "filmstrip" stuff?
My pager is OK. It show 4 workspaces.
Some one have an Idea on how to do screenshots?

This is what I get... Not to sexy...
Am I the only one who have some problems with Xgl + screenshots?
Another question
Is glxgears (and other glx applications) souposed to run with Xgl?

| Anyone know why the switcher plugin was not built? Also why is it that gnome-window-decorate puts these really ugly window decorations on? And I can't check to see if it is a setting in the gnome-theme-manager because whenever I load it, it gets a crash.. (Only when using XGL). |

If you don't have another X server running, you may need to delete the lock files in /tmp. Happened to me a few times.. The way I got rid of them is: | Code: | rm /tmp/.X?-lock
rm /tmp/.X11-unix/X? |
Then try starting it again.

There was a patch for this posted a few pages back. Look for "switcher".

There are already several ebuilds floating around. Look a few pages back for pijalu's last overlay, which should be your best bet to get everything working without much hassle. |

So far almost everything works great. Things to improve:
1) thumb buttons on my mx500 don't work :/ - larger button is detected as button number 49 (wtf?) and smaller one is not detected at all (checked in xev). Also xgl uses xorg6.8's way of mapping mouse keys so only 7 buttons are available to the user.
2) my gnome pager used to switch desktops looks funky - it uses taskbar color as color for desktop's preview background
3) why xgl messes with input (eg. mouse - look 1) ) and window decoration stuff? this is bad, why would we want to reinvent things (obviusly I don't know what Xgl infact is)?
4) very rarely 100% cpu usage by xgl, also I can't shut down Xgl without zapping it (ctrl+alt+backspace)
5) it would be nice to see fluid animation when changing transparency levels instead of immediate change
Other than that it is nice (till I find another irritating bug )! Great work and many thanks for Novell and David Reveman.
My specs:
~x86 system,
ati radeon 9500 @ fglrx 8.22.5,
xgl & rest of stuff emerged yesterday using latest hanno's ebuilds.

Help! I got everything installed correctly. No compile errors. When I run this ocmmand:
| Code: | | Xgl :1 -ac -accel xv -accel glx:pbuffer |
...Nothing happens. No errors, no segfaults, no X, nothing. It just sits there and does nothing. ps aux shows that it's running. What the heck's going on here?[/code] |

Does your german keyboard-layout work under Xgl?
It does't work for me
But I really like compiz an it effects.
Is there any way to activate other layouts than the english one?

Okay, Xgl works for me now, but what are the commands? How can I rotate to the other side of the cube?

at time there is no way for me to activate german layout.
one time i have started it with german layout. but dont know i have done it. it think i have started an xterm instead of gnome-session in my script. and then started gnome-session in it.
other...
Ive found out that fullscreen with mplayer works well with -vo gl2. almoust the same cpu usage in fullscreen like window mode.
but i have to start mplayer without GUI. it crashed my decoration -> title bars and borders where gone.
