1) Update your fglrx driver to the lastest one...which isn't the one in the portage tree. The one in the portage tree is not compatiable with AIGLX. But the latest fglrx on the ATI website is(so I read).
The ATI Linux drivers since 8.42.3 have supported AIGLX, which were released back in October ...

Schmokin

Last time I had AIGLX support going for KDE4 I had to downgrade xorg-server back down to 1.3.x. If I remember correctly it was something to do with the ati drivers not recognizing the version in xorg-server 1.4. Not sure if these two are related or not, but might be something to try for you.

Schmokin

I've been reading on quite a few sites that AIGLX is just not functional in the latest driver releases. I've been trying to get Compositing to work in KDE4 since release with absolutely no luck at all. Hopefully will be fixed in next driver release.

EDIT:

I found on the Fedora forums that people ...

Schmokin

Has anyone using fglrx for ATI cards gotten Compositing to work? I read on ATI's website that ever since 8.42.3 their drivers support AIGLX, which is what kde4 uses to do all the pretty stuff but I get an error from kwin at startup saying Compositing is disabled.

Thanks NeddySeagoon. It was actually links the console web browser that I was using to post the original message that was depending on gcc-3.3.6-r1. I followed your instructions and 'emerge xorg-x11' continued perfectly. Not sure how to edit topics in links so in a few hours I will edit for solved.

I just recently installed got going under the ~amd64 tree and started using -march=native with gcc-4.2.2 to build everything. This morning I ran into a problem when i went to 'emerge xorg-x11' when it came up to building gcc-3.6.6-r1 for a dependency it complains about not knowing what '-march ...

I couldn't find anything by searching, most likely from not knowing exactly the right things to search for. But I was wondering if there is a way to keep certain packages from trying to emerge during: emerge -e world like for instance a dependancy for the package quake4-bin is quake4-data, and I ...

Where did you get this info from? As of rc5 that is not the case.

/me slaps self. I do apologize. Myself and a number of others could not get the 2005.0 amd64 iso's to boot. So instead I'm using a cd by ahorn here in the forums.

Schmokin

I do believe the initial toolchain build does need to be changed to suite 2005.0. As 2005.0 comes with 3.4.3. Just a thought.

Schmokin

Same here. I tried both minimal and universal multiple times. Don't really think motherboard counts but MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum.

Schmokin

I have an nForce3 chipset on my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum, the modules I use are forcedeth for the 100Mbit adapter, and r8169 for the 1000Mbit adapter.

I always had the same problem till I set CLOCK="local" in /etc/conf.d/clock, and since I'm west coast I point /etc/localtime to /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles

The correct line would be:

Same thing here, I finally just resorted to using mplayer to play my mp3's now.

All works well, followed m0x's quick guide back on page2, thanks abunch. Only thing I did different was:

Code: Select all

chown m0x /dev/v4l/video0

Just make sure that your user is in the video group and you won't have to do this.

Code: Select all

Thanks again!

About my sound in Doom3, or should I say lack of sound. If anyone has seen this and could hint me to a possible solution... :)

I have Doom3, and quake3 working just fine with the -r3 ebuild. Only quake3 has sound though, still figuring out what is wrong with sound in doom3.

Laff, you're histerical. I was just asking a compilation question because someone had stated they got it work, and I'm a nub for it? Good thing I haven't been using Linux since 1993. I may be new to Gentoo, but not Linux in general.

Schmokin

why do you think that everyone, really everyone, and every document, really every document, tells you that compiling openoffice on amd64 is not possible?
Okay then, so this guy must be lying then?
