 Posted: Wed Nov 08, 2006 4:00 am Post subject: Problems installing XGL. (Please help) |
 |
|
(I'm using this guide: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_XGL)
Okay, so it's close to being installed. But when I run "emerge --ask --verbose xgl beryl-core", I get this:
| Quote: |
zCOMP zach # emerge --ask --verbose xgl beryl-core
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies -
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=media-libs/mesa-6.5.2_pre20061102" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- media-libs/mesa-6.5.2_pre20061102 (masked by: package.mask)
# Joshua Baergen <joshuabaergen@gentoo.org> (02 Nov 2006)
# X input hotplug and related packages
# Some of these may already be covered by other masks - please leave them
# anyway
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "x11-base/xgl-0.0.1_pre20061020-r2" [ebuild])

So what am I doing wrong? |

Moved from Desktop Environments to Unsupported Software. XGL is unsupported.

I think you are doing nothing wrong. As XGL is not supported, some of the packages you need to get it to work are masked. When you get:
| Code: | | (masked by: package.mask) |
you have to add the package to the /etc/portage/package.unmask file.
| Code: | | echo "media-libs/mesa" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask |
If you get a package masked by the ~arch keyword :
| Code: | | echo "media-libs/mesa" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords |
Do you have a NVidia card? If yes, you're not following the good HowTo  (NVidia with the beta driver doesn't require XGL... if you have one just say it and I'll post more info ) |

afaik aiglx is currently supported in stable xorg. using xgl shouldn't generally be necessary
| Code: | midas ~ # emerge -pv xorg-server
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

It's installed, but when I run "beryl-manager", my bottom (only) panel disappears, and all open windows lose their boarders.
So now what's wrong? |
