XGL (Part 4)

Hey, does anyone know where this configuration program is? It looks like it does exactly what I want to do to xgl, have more than 4 sides on my cube.

And here is a link to the main site I just found. http://swik.net/XGL/Photos+Tagged+XGL

Does anyone use aterm with xgl? I've noticed often when I use aterm the memory consumption skyrockets - all my memory plus 75% of swap, and the computer slows to a crawl. And the problem resolves when I killall aterm. Anyone else notice this? It's been a problem for a while.

I've spent a few days getting xgl and compiz in

and it doesn't run

i had to do the USE="-mmx" workaround for a few packages, now when i start compiz to replace kwin,
theres a seg fault and kwin exits

this is revision 184 i think

hmm...as opposed to some people who get pink window shadows I seem to not having any shadows at all with the newest compiz-quinnstorm-0.0.10.13 from xgl-testing. I also do not have any drop shadow settings in the decoration plugion setcion in gconf.

You could always trying to gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz and then restart compiz.. It should remove all your gconf data, then reimport it..

i just upgraded to testing rev 190 and all went well
except i don't have the new state key's for
brightness, saturation and viewport lists, and if
i put the state key where it now belongs after "place"
then it disappears

state plugin still works in it's previous position and
still has the opacity key, and i am able to make the
cube transparent, so it is like i got the new state plugin
without the new key's but with the new features of the opacity key

This happens to me all the time.. Unfortunately the only method in which I get it to work is to unset all the compiz stuff (--recursive-unset) and then restart compiz to get it to put it all back fresh.

Just did what I had said to do, I don't have any of those keys either.. Must be a bug in compiz-quinnstorm.

hello guys .
I was with the xgl-coffe version of XGL and everythings worked fine . but I wanted to try the new dock plugin , so I folowed this post, and I had XGL with the xgl-testing overlay . but it was not enought stable for me , so I went back to the XGL-coffe version

but , as you advice , I did that :
xport GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE="xml:merged:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults"
gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule /etc/gconf/schemas/compiz.schemas

It is suposed to fix something (I didn't understand) , for the xgl-testing version.
but now I am back to the xgl-coffee version, is there a way to reverse this two line? is it important, or can I just leave it ? I dont understand for what this two lines are for.
If someone can explain to me

...

and an other question : in the xgl-testing version , with the new 190 revision, is the dock plugin fixed and stop crashing compiz with the "fantom" window?

thankx

Ok i've setup xgl quite good both on my desktop (using an nvidia card) and on my laptop (using an ati one). The problem :cry:

that i am dealing with has to do with the inability to switch ttys using alt+ctrl+(F1-F12). While in my desktop pc i can use the key combinations and switch ttys, from my laptop configuration i cannot. Is anyone dealing with it?? It is very strange because i did the same setup on both machines using gdm and the wiki instructions.

Also, from my laptop i cannot start a new X server (using xinit) from within the XGL one. For my desktop, no problem again, xinit works great and i can launch any games or other opengl stuff that has problems with XGL.

Are there any advice for these things?
I'm using compiz-vanilla.

Here are my configs:

/usr/bin/compizrc_gnome

@TemplarKnight
try re-emerging the following packages:
- x11-misc/xkbdata
- x11-misc/xkeyboard-config
make sure they're in your /etc/portage/package.keywords as well.
