XGL (Part 4)

I use the xgl-testing overlay, but a few days ago all updates stopped with this message:

svn: REPORT Anfrage fehlgeschlagen auf '/xgl-coffee/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: Cannot replace a directory from within

What has happened with the overlay at "http://svn.xgl-coffee.org/xgl-coffee/testing" ?

Hi. I'm trying to compile several xgl packages, and they keep dying on libGL.la stuff:

More info on the libGL.la:

Well, I made symlinks to the xorg-x11 libGL.la, and got cairo and glitz to compile. Now, the question is, will it actually work???

Also wondering if the symlink should have been to the mesa one instead.

I suspect this has to do with using xorg 7.1 and the ~arch nvidia drivers. :lol:

O.K. well that didn't work and I strongly recommend not doing it.

i'd like to thank you guys for your great work with ebuilds in coffebuzz overlay. sorry for being so impatient, but could you update compiz-vanilla ebuilds more frequently

?

thx a lot

Allright, I seem to have done something bad. I recently upgraded my toolchain to gcc 4.1.1 (from 4.1.0) and glibc 2.4-r3 (from 2.4-r1) with upgrading linuxheaders from 2.6.11 to 2.6.16. Xgl was working perfectly, now I can't compile cairo:

O.K. well this is the darndest thing. I recompiled glitz since I noticed cairo is compiled with glitz use flag, and now I can compile cairo. These toolchain upgrades can be tricky.

Edit: O.K. working now. XGL is back. yey.

Are there any news on the Xine problems with XGL ?

Compiz-vanilla with KDE 3.5.3

Was working great but now when startkde is run it becomes so slow it just about locks up.

If I manually start xgl, start compiz and gnome-window-decorator, and then an xterm it is fine. i can then load kicker and kdesktop and everything is fast as can be. However, as soon as startkde is run is seems to kill compiz, which restarts, but is extremely slow and unusable.

:-(

Hi guys.

If I run startx and then I try to running Xgl + compiz, I can see and use decoration. Instead If I lunch it with startxgl script I can't see any decorations.

Any Idea?

thanks

I just did an emerge --sync and svnup.sh and noticed that cairo was taken out of the overlay stating that the regular portage had a newer version. So, it wanted to downgrade from portage to 1.0.4 - I unmasked the 1.1.6-r1 version and emerged, so now gdm does not start! Xorg gives no apparent errors in the log file. mesa also got upgraded to 6.5.1_aplpha20060606. I am using gcc-3.4.6-r1, so no issues with gcc-4.1.1, any ideals where to start?
Thanks,
Chris

You must emerge gtk+ first, then revdep-rebuild. For some reason gtk+ wasn't being reported in revdep for me, so I emerged it manually. It fixes it, or well it should.

I've started having a rather odd problem. I run KDE on xgl, but recently some of my kde startup programs have been crashing xgl (ie. the windows all stop responding, but I can still go onto the console and kill everything manually), which means I can't start kde normally through startkde. (ie. I have to launch a console and run kicker and kdesktop manually). I have so far detected amarok and kmix to be causing the problem. I initially looked at artsd, but that's not causing a problem as noatun seems to run fine and plays music with no problem. Any ideas?

edit: It appears I'm getting some "ERROR unlocking pcie memory" stuff in my logs, nothing in the xorg logs. It looks like that only happens when I start xlg though...

I tried all these solutions, I even reran the install.sh script from xgl-coffee, but none worked. As a last ditch effort I tried going back to cairo-1.0.4, which worked! And everything else seems to still be working also.

I'm getting a block while trying to do a recent upgrade. Does anyone else get this?

cwall64 · Posted: Wed Jun 07, 2006 11:31 pm Post subject:

When I received that block it was trying to upgrade xorg to 7.1, which nvidia doesn't support yet.

I just wanted to share that I had trouble compiling cairo-1.1.6 but re-emerging pango fixed it for me. (My error was related to libpangocairo or libcairopango or something along these lines).
