I'm in the middle of giving the newest patch another shot. I had plain 3.3.1 emerged with what I thought were conservative CFLAGS, but I was getting some odd behavior. The patched versions are almost done.
I'd like to see more patches put into KDE, but I haven't a clue what other patches there are out there. If you can collect a list, I'm sure you could get a good vote going on for them. |

For some reason, the ebuilds didn't work for me. I had to manually patch the files. When I then compiled KDE, it worked just fine!  Thanks a lot!

| Version 0.4.0 is out with a few bugfixes and a sidebar improvement. And I just got done compiling 0.3.4. Oh well. |

version 0.4.0 is out, see initial post.
edit: grab version 0.4.0-2, as I didn't realise the patch had changed from -p1 to -p0  it should patch now!

yes we do I guess, although you can see my ebuilds came first
I haven't included the xcompmgr integration patch yet though, but thinking about it.
it has been discussed in this thread before - I quote from the site | Quote: | | xcompmgr is still experimental - it crashes from time to time... shit |
so I asked if people still wanted it, but have left it out thus far seeing as the project page say it is buggy.
however, if people want it I'll include it
-c

Hey,
did you re-build all the packages neccessary?
and have you added | Code: | | Option "RenderAccel" "1" |
to your xorg.conf?

A number of times.
I've tried yet another time last night with the latest version.
The compilation failed.
The 'library not found' bug in uic still exists. It seems you forgot to ship the files 45qt3 and 50qtdir3 for x11-libs/qt in your Portage overlay.
| Quote: | and have you added | Code: | | Option "RenderAccel" "1" |

Yes. It shouldn't make a difference with this bug, though. RenderAccel enables hardware-accelerated XRender primitives. But the primitives work the same when rendered in software (or they should, at least!); they're just much slower. Additionally, not all drivers support hardware acceleration for all primitives. I think the open source Radeon driver, for example, doesn't hardware-accelerate alpha channel operations (transparency and alike). |

hmm.. sorry, doesn't look like I'm gonna be much help - but I have included 45qt3 and 50qtdir3 now, thanks.
did u fix the qt library problem on your pc?
if not, try cat /etc/ld.so.conf and see if qt is there, ie:
| Code: | bash-2.05b# cat /etc/ld.so.conf
# ld.so.conf autogenerated by env-update; make all changes to
# contents of /etc/env.d directory
/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3
/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib
/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/i386/
/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/i386/native_threads/
/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/i386/classic/
/usr/qt/3/lib
/usr/kde/3.3/lib |
you should have /usr/qt/3/lib and /usr/kde/3.3/lib.
if not, then edit /etc/env.d/99kde-env, and add:
| Code: | | LDPATH=/usr/kde/3.3/lib:/usr/qt/3/lib |
then run env-update and check /etc/ld.so.conf again.
sorry about that
apart from that, I compiled kde with v0.4.0 ebuilds on my amd64 box, and using xorg nv driver had no re-draw problem..

You could try to make a test-ebuild with the xcompmgr patch included.
I would like to try it out.
Right now i'm compiling qt with the ebuld you made, hope it works

Yep yep, no worries. I installed the missing file manually and rehashed env.d and ld.so.conf, no problem.
As for the rubberband problem, I'm done rererecompiling stuff using version 0.4.0-2 of the ebuild set, and it now works. It's a bit slow, due to the lack of hardware acceleration for XRender alpha operations in some drivers that I mentionned in my previous post. For those of us who don't have an NVidia card, do you think the code could be optimized a bit perchance? For example by redrawing only what has changed between two successive mouse positions, rather than the entire rubberband rectangle... |

It's done compiling and i have a running patched KDE.
But i'm not impressed, the drawing makes white lines in the box when moving the mouse.
is it the maturity of the code or is it the nvidia driver that lacks better aplha support ?

balinares, let me build it on my p4 machine - it has a radeon card. I'll see if I get the same problems as you. In regards to the code, I guess it's best to talk to Andrunko from the kde-look site, as none of the code is mine
GentooBox, glad you got it all compiled, but sad it's not working. Have you tried with the nv driver? do you get the same problem? my amd64 box is using nv and nvidia drivers (the screenshots were taken on that box with nv driver). And I'm assuming you re-built qt and all the other packages, and editted render into your xorg.conf?

Hi johnnyICON,
could you try changing your theme to plastik for me? and see if that makes a difference. Also I'm assuming you RE-emerged qt, as well as all the other packages?

was this a re-build over the top of an existing kde?
if so then you need to specify the packages individually, as per the instructions - otherwise it will just rebuild "kde" which is actually nothing.
try | Code: | | emerge -av qt kdelibs kdebase kdeartwork kdepim |
(although you prob don't need to do qt again, so just kdelibs kdebase kdeartwork should do)
-c

Hey balinares, I re-emerged kde onto my p4 machine, which as a radeon card, and it works beautifully - both with the radeon xorg driver, and the ati fglrx driver. that's without adding renderaccel to xorg.conf.. so, not sure why you're running into issues
