 |
|
Hello all.
I've built xgl according to http://gentoo-wiki.com/XGL, but I'm having the following problem:
| Quote: |
mahound@magrathea ~ $ gnome-window-decorator
gnome-window-decorator, Failed to load shadow images
|
I searched the forums, but it seems no-one has found the solution yet...
Does anybody have a clue abot what's happening? |

Hi there, this happened for me,
What worked for me is starting compiz (which I'm assuming you're using) is to call it with:
| Code: |
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ compiz --replace switcher decoration wobbly fade minimize cube rotate zoom scale move resize place
|
Note the gconf option is not used. You can then manually start gnome-window-decorator.

I have that problem, too.
I read trillions of HOWTOs and pages in the forum, but I am struck. I have a new user, and *everything* - including window-decoration works perfect. My normal user spits out the "failed to load shadow images" error message. I have no idea why, and I dont know what else to try.
I already deleted .gconf* .gnome* but this did not help in any way.
So why does it work with a new user and not with an existing one? Which (magic) file / config do I have to delete to make it work.
Please, help  |

Me too... followed every step of http://gentoo-wiki.com/XGL (xgl-coffee overlay), and as of today, no luck, always getting the error on gnome-window-decorator.
My video board is (i don't really think that this is the real problem anyway) an ATI RADEON 9100IGP running with xf86-video-ati drivers and the latest drm snapshot for r200.
I really hope that someone get on the bottom of this. |

To me, this looks like it has something to do with mouse cursor themes. Out of curiosity do you folks have HWCursor or CursorShadow on/off in xorg.conf? Using cursor themes? Probably unrelated but just a thought.

| Code: | | grep -i cursor /etc/X11/xorg.conf |
just gives nothing
I've tried to create an other user, but it doesn't did it for me.
BTW after trying once, and closing all, I often have the error, when starting again:
| Code: | _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running
Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running
|
Then I have to launch it on DISPLAY=:2, may be it's just the same issue as reported in the wiki:
"Note: Many people reported problems to start server at port 0 (the default)." Since I'm "try[ing] it out as another window on an already running X server" |

I've tried with and without cursor themes (even tried uninstalling them)... no luck so far.
I have no mention of hardware or software cursor in xorg.conf, but i think it's set to a default of HW in the radeon xorg module ( as with some machines with older video board i had to explicitly enable Software cursor to avoid some glitches ).
Uff...anyway...even without window borders Xgl remains amazing |

Hmmm...had a quick look at the code, i could be wrong but it seems to be something regarding gdkpixbuf
| Code: |
shadow_pixmap = pixmap_new_from_inline (_shadow);
large_shadow_pixmap = pixmap_new_from_inline (_large_shadow);
if (!shadow_pixmap || !large_shadow_pixmap)
{
fprintf (stderr, "%s, Failed to load shadow images\n", argv[0]);
return 1;
}
|
In fact, on my system i had an outdated version installed, i'm going to upgrade and recompile some packages. I'll post here if i find something. If this still doesn't work i'll try to have another look to gnome-window-decorator.c and see if i can find something else. |

Thanks |

I was wrong... i tried to do an export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS="0" that didn't worked. but an unset XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS did the trick. i still have some problems anyway (applet like windows menu crashing at startup of gnome, i use a 2.13 from gentopia BTW)
THANKS!! |

Thanks to everybody, now i'm using XGL on gnome 2.14
Now i'm waiting for an Xgl aware metacity ebuild )
( http://www.gnome.org/%7Edavyd/gnome-2-14/ here they say that metacity 2.14 supports OpenGL compositing  )
EDIT: Hmm...i should have read a bit more about it, it seems it doesn't rely on XGL for it's effects...we'll see |

Hello all,
I also have this problem. I tried to install a couple of themes, so gnome-window-decorator can find those cursors, but unfortunately to no avail. Also tried to unset that XLIB_... but again, no success.
Hopefully there wil be a solution soon |

where did you unset XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS?
You can unset it inside your startxgl script, just to make sure it's unset, once you're in xgl (with no title bar at all) try "echo $XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS" and see what happen! |
