Hey all,

I just installed xgl by following the guide at Gentoo-Wiki but I ran into a problem that I just can't seem to fix :S. I emerge xgl and compiz and all the other stuff mentioned in the guide. Now that I want to start xgl with the command:
Code:
Xgl :1 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv

It doesn't work. It just says:
Code:
Bash: Xgl: Command not found

I really don't understand why it isn't working and how to fix this. Anyone has a solution?

Check if /usr/bin/Xgl exists. If it doesn't, re-emerge Xgl and keep an eye on it. I suspect there was a compilation failure.

It doesn't exist. That's what I meant to say ;)
I tried to re-emerge it. It emerged succesfully, but after emerging there just isn't a Xgl binary anywhere on my system :S

Oh, ok. :-)

Please re-emerge again but pipe the output into a file:

Code:
emerge x11-base/xgl >xgl_emerge.log 2>&1


Upload that somewhere and let me know. I'd like to take a look at what actually happens.

Hi, I'm sorry for the slow reply.
It seems that it was a problem with my hdd :S
I discovered it by accident because I replaced my old hdd with a new one and re-installed Gentoo because it was a test-install.
Now almost everything is working fine except for a couple of things.
I'm using KDE and I followed the instructions for using Xgl with it in the Gentoo-Wiki. I can spin the cube and things like that (beautiful by the way) but I can't re-arrange my windows with the F12 button and I can't re-arrange windows from the same application with the F11 button. Also I tend to use the the alt-F2 shortcut a lot to run applications but this has stopped working.

Do you know what the problem is?

I'm sorry, I can't really say why it doesn't work for you. I've switched from Xgl/compiz back to plain old X.org X11 and fvwm so I didn't follow the latest developments with compiz.

When I last used compiz, it used F10 for window scaling. Maybe you should try that.

Just a thought. Have you looked at the default keyboard
statement in the compizrc file and adjust it to your
type and location. The default script is set to Italy
"-layout it"

DISPLAY=:1 setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout it -variant basic

Depending on your setup
As per the Howto
/usr/bin/compizrc

you have to create this file, so i am thinking you probably don't have
one, otherwise you would remember where it is

thanks for the tip, but it isn't working.
Maybe it is because I editted my kdmrc to start Xgl on load?
I haven't had the time to really read me into Xgl yet but is it possible that /usr/bin/compizrc isn't being read by compiz/xgl at all and I have to edit another file or am I just talking crap here? ;)
