the PARSE and USE files are here for all the packages. and PROVIDE contain the packages which emerge complain (>=media-libs/mesa-6.5.2 for mesa-9999 .....). It's only esthetic , but that's distubs me , i'm maniac. / EDIT : Fixed since 16/01
And each time i rsync mesa-cvs , all my 'digest-ok-for-me' are replaced by others don't work for me. Primozic , can you redigest this ebuilds please ?

After asking at DRI mailing list, I found a solution for my GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE limit (mergedfb & dualhead & beryl).
Just editing the src/mesa/main/config.h and changing the MAX_TEXTURE_LEVELS to 13 did the trick.
Now my system shows 4096 as max texture size.
The texture covers the screens without problems but now the desktop background goes white, only the desktop background. Rest of desktop is showed right. 
I've tried changing MAX_TEXTURE_RECT_SIZE, which also was 2048, to 4096 and get a background, but a deformed background.
Any help at this point ? |

Wow... AIGLX + Beryl works very smooth with current version 
But what's with the memory usage of X? Machine has been up for a day and X uses 330Mb of RAM

How can I check that memory usage ? |

Checked free ram with & without beryl and the difference is about 65Mb only. |

| Beinii - so GARTSize "64" consumes 64MB of memory for all the time ... try to turn it off, and see, what will happen |

Alright, I will check that later...
To the Txboy... I have almost the same results, around 60mb lower than with beryl... but the usage of X is still little high even without beryl it is at 278Mb.
Well.. i don't know whats the normal usage with AIGLX. Im just comparing the results to FGLRX drivers and Xorg 7.1 Stable...

hmmm 
# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 503 459 44 0 54 179
most memory is normally allocated for buffers, so if you are low on memory this doesnt mean that an app needs much.. |

I checked the memory usage of X using top.
Right now it uses 30% of memory. ~290mb
Whole system:

Mem: 1000 978 21 0 0 367
-/+ buffers/cache: 611 389

Hi all,
I have two monitors 1680x1050 and 1280x1024 powered by an X300. At the moment with both ATI Big desktop and MergedFB, direct rendering works only upto the 2048 boundary. Is there any way to stretch it beyond that boundar. Reading txboy's post above leads me to hope that there is. |

I mean does this improve battery time ?
I'm considering in switching to the opensource radeon drivers (Mobility Radeon x600), ATI's driver support is crap  , if they achieve NVIDIA's level perhaps I'll switch back ...)
Thanks in advance |
I don't know if DynamicClocks improve battery time because i don't have a laptop (it should i think), but yes, it works (almost in my 9600) |

Does someone know any help? Maybe some patch to try?
I know there was a white cube patch.
Thanks in advance. |

I was wondering if someone else was going to come across this...
You will need to downgrade to x11-libs/libXdamage-1.0.4. It's no longer in the Portage tree, but it's in the overlay.
I've backported several patches to make xorg-server-1.9.99.999 compatible with the new XDamage protocol, but they are rather large and cumbersome. They work, as I've been using them all week, but I'm not sure if I should include them in the overlay.

Hi Primozic
I've been out of the loop for a while, trying to get up to speed -- I read about this beryl thing and lots of new useflags. I guess your readme at sturmartillerie is a bit out of date? |

Ok, downgrading libXdamage and reemerging mesa helped ThX
(You could put these patches in some kind of experimental overlay ? ) |

Ok I think I've gotten pretty far but now I could use some help:
- I reinstalled the mesa-cvs stuff including xorg-server-1.99.999 anf xf86-video-ati-9999
- 2800fps in glxgears
Now I went on and installed beryl (9999 versions) from the xeffects overlay, following the official install instructions: http://wiki.gentoo-xeffects.org/Beryl
- Now I just get a white screen after starting. The xeffects blog suggests to recompile pango but that doesn't help.
- I've been playing with xorg.conf a bit but that doesn't help either
-> How do I solve that?
I also have a few general questions:
- What are xf86-video-nouveau-9999 and xf86-video-xgi-9999 for? Do I need these?
- Do I need libtxcdxtn?
---
I'll now try to rebuild a few packages, using the USE flags a few pages back. Using this as packages.use
=x11-base/xorg-server-1.1.99.999 beryl exa aiglx -nptl
=media-libs/mesa-9999 -nptl
=x11-base/x11-drm-9999 tools
=x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-9999 patch exa modesetting
emerge xf86-video-ati x11-drm mesa xorg-server |

As I see some guys in this thread really managed to get beryl +r300 to work. Because its a bit difficult to find out how and to follow this thread I thought its a good idea to start a new thread for reporting successful installations of beryl + ati radeon r300
Thanks a lot for reporting there!

Today I emerged latest stuff again and came across the following trouble:
-X won't start when using x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-9999 (with or without that patch useflag), downgrading to x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.6.3 solves that issue
a hint to the creator of that ebuild: It would be better to use a more specific name for that patch useflag, because there is already an official useflag called patch.
Something else: Does anyone know how I can get back my normal key combinations in kde when running beryl(-manager)?
I especially mean the very handy ctrl-alt-esc to kill an app? Why does that not?
Thanks

| I noticed that too, most key-combinations have changed. You can run beryl-settings and then change the key combinations. Alternatively, you could write a kde-based beryl |
