eselect opengl set xorg-x11

This is difficult to believe... I'll try it at home |

This is from the ArchLinux forums but I think it'll work here too (removed irrelevant steps):
| Quote: | I finally got XFCE4 starting properly with Compiz-Fusion =D
The steps I followed (fairly close to the wiki's Beryl entry.. wish I'd known that beforehand =P ):
(iii) Edit /etc/xdg/xfce4-session/xfce4-session.rc
| Code: | Replace:
Client0_Command=xfwm4
With:
Client0_Command=compiz-manager # this will run Emerald as well, so no need to run separately =) |
(iv) Your ~/.xinitrc entry should read:
| Code: | | exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session --auto-syntax startxfce4 |
(v) Remove any old sessions you've saved to avoid problems
| Code: | | rm -r ~/.cache/sessions/* |
Easy, huh? =)
Edit: By the way, you should disable session saving (Right-click desktop -> Settings -> Sessions and Startup Settings -> uncheck 'Automatically save...', then upon 'Quit' make sure you uncheck the 'Save session' box); it gums up the works with Compiz, seemingly.

fusion-icon is out.
does the same thing beryl-manager used to do.
it doesn't install the gtk frontends so modify it in /usr/bin/fusion-icon to use the qt3 or qt4 frontends.
it looks for the icon in /usr/share/pixmaps so copy the fusion-icon.png to that location
then in /etc/env.d/99kde
change the KDEWM line to
KDEWM=/usr/bin/fusion-icon
remember to env-update
no compiz-start or similar scripts anymore.

What? I looked in that file but I don't see any qt3 or qt4 frontends.
EDIT: Oh, I was running an older version ^_^;;

look in;
/usr/share/fusion-icon/
you'll see these files: fusion-icon-qt3.py fusion-icon-qt4.py libfusionicon.py
then modify;
/usr/bin/fusion-icon
this is my fusion-icon for example;
#!/bin/sh
#Compiz Fusion Icon Wrapper Script
#$(dirname $0)/../share/fusion-icon/fusion-icon-gtk.py
$(dirname $0)/../share/fusion-icon/fusion-icon-qt4.py
as you can see 'am using fusion-icon-qt4.py

I compiled fusion-icon with qt3 and qt4 support and can find only fusion-icon-qt4.py in /usr/share/fusion-icon/
But I guess that is not the cause for compiz start fails here. I still get the error:
| Code: | Executing: __GL_YIELD=nothing compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp
compiz (core) - Error: Another window manager is already running on screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0 |
I tried running compiz with strace but that doesn't give me more information. |

you have to kill all window managers and if you modified the 99kde don't forget to do
env-update.
make sure you don't have beryl-manager or other beryl stuff hanging around.

Well, I tried all that. kwin is running and should be replaced by compiz. I cleaned the system to get rid of the beryl stuff. I have no idea anymore. Some people have the same problem but nobody seem do have a solution yet. |

well you should have had to specifically keyword each ebuild to get all of compiz-fusion. I'd start with emerge -C on all of those...  |

I started compiz in a console from running KDE session and I tried killing kwin before. None of these methods work. Starting from fusion-icon or this compiz-wrapper script doesn't work either. It's hard to tell if there is any beryl config file lying around. I removed everything related to beryl or compiz before I installed compiz-fusion.
Here are the commands I tried (each line a single command):
| Code: |
__GL_YEILD=NOTHING compiz --replace --sm-disable --loose-binding ccp &
compiz --replace &
compiz --use-copy &
compiz --loose-binding --sm-disable --replace &
__GL_YEILD="NOTHING" compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp &
__GL_YEILD="NOTHING" compiz --replace --display 0 --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp &
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/ compiz --replace ccp
compiz --replace gconf &
compiz --replace ini &
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ compiz --replace dbus csm &
compiz --display 0 --replace &
|
I think that is almost all I could find on the internet. |

my friend i don't understand what you are trying to do.
i don't see emerald and compiz doesn't start emerald. you're giving yourself a hell of a problem.
you cat start compiz with this script in /usr/local/bin;
compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp &
emerald --replace &
call it compizmeup or whatever you want
.
chmod+x the script
then modify the KDEWM line/etc/env.d/99kde-env
to read;
KDEWM=/usr/local/bin/compizmeup
then do;
env-update, and reboot or kill wm with ctrl+alt+F7
OR just modify fusion-icon;
#!/bin/sh
#Compiz Fusion Icon Wrapper Script
#$(dirname $0)/../share/fusion-icon/fusion-icon-gtk.py
$(dirname $0)/../share/fusion-icon/fusion-icon-qt4.py
then modify /etc/end.d/99ked.env;
KDEWM=/usr/bin/fusion-icon
then env-update, reboot or kill wm with ctrl+alt+F7
if you don't see the fusion-icon icon; copy it wherever you have it (fusion-icon.png) to;
/usr/share/pixmaps/
with fusion-icon you can choose to run compiz or kwin on the fly.
that's all i can help. obviously you can go on doing it your messed up way buddy.
EDIT: now fusion-icon installs cleanly so you don't have to edit /usr/bin/fusion-icon.

Hi,
before I put compiz in 99kde-env I want to start it manually. Thats what I am trying to do here. Compiz itself does not start. It keeps on telling me there were no screens to manage. It does not replace kwin nor does it start when I kill kwin before. And before compiz isn't running why should is start emerald?
All these commands in the box above are supposed to do the same. I tried every command on its own. Maybe it wasn't clear enough to collect them that way. Thanks for the help anyway.
EDIT: Tried it your way, the second way you offered. Still I get no window decoration and compiz refuses to run. Then I started fusion-icon in a console, the icon shows up in system tray but still no compiz. I can read again the same error message as mentioned before.
| Code: | start_wm compiz
* nvidia found, exporting: __GL_YIELD=nothing
Executing: __GL_YIELD=nothing compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp
QMultiInputContext::changeInputMethod(): index=0, slave=xim
compiz (core) - Error: Another window manager is already running on screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0
* setting decorator to emerald --replace
* setting decorator to kde-window-decorator --replace
start_wm kwin

compiz itself isn't a window decorator that's why you need to start emerald after compiz. you have to kill kdm if it isn't what you mean by killing kwin. remember if you do ctrl+alt+F7 kdm just gets killed but restarts itself immediately so compiz wont start 'cos kdm is running.

try your start sequences in a running xsession after doing;
# DISPLAY=:1 xterm &
in an xterm.

Don't worry I know that. But why should I kill kdm? I don't have a running X then. When I used beryl I could simply replace kwin with beryl. Did it change? |

kdm means an xsession is running.

Hmm anyone having problems emerge emerald???
I'm getting this error everytime
| Code: | * repository: git://anongit.opencompositing.org/fusion/decorators/emerald

I got it running but don't ask me how I did it. First I tried on a second xsession, same error messages. Then I killed X and executed "/etc/X11/xdm/Xreset". Next time I logged into kde from kdm compiz was running. Thanks for the help.
@Diredicker
It looks like the emerald ebuild is trying to checkout beryl from the old repository.
Here it shows: * repository: git://anongit.opencompositing.org/fusion/decorators/emerald
When I had a similar error like yours I deleted the layman overlay and added it again. |

Here's some history: I had beryl before trying to emerge compiz-fusion. I did the equivalent of emerge --unmerge beryl-*. I followed the gentoo wiki guide and also the xeffects howto. I use gnome 2.16, suspend2-sources 2.16.21, ati-drivers-8.37.6, amd64 machine. I believe my xgl is working, though I'll verify that later today. (I did have beryl working for a while). Anyway, I use startxgl, as described in the xgl howto, and then do this:
| Code: | compiz (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0
|
I get the same output if I just run compiz.
I've tried to fix this in numerous ways, compiz keeps segfaulting (as indicated by dmsg). I've tried --no-replace --use-root-window --sm-disable, but none of that works. Oh yes, I'm trying to do this from the root window before it becomes usable to users. Please help! What libraries should I recompile (both xgl/compiz) or what should I remove (beryl leftovers?)?
EDIT: the code for compiz-manager |
for us with ati-drivers, instead of `eselect opengl set xorg-x11' after starting xgl, there is another way:
| Code: | | LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so startcompiz(or whatever you use to start compiz) |
for example, if you use fusion-icon you can append this line inside it:
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
#Compiz Fusion Icon Wrapper Script
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so $(dirname $0)/../share/fusion-icon/fusion-icon-gtk.py
|
and then put it in autostarted apps |

maybe you should open your firewall port for git. it's port 9418 tcp
