Ok, this is really another one of those screenies posts. *sigh another. yes, but with a difference. hehe, Ive been looking at the new xorg extensions 'composite' and 'damage' over at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php? ... sc&start=0 .
Its quite clear, that there will be a whole new visual explosion on the linux desktop once window managers start to implement these extensions properly. xcompmgr is rather buggy at the moment but gives a taste of whats to come.
So Post up screenies (videos) of your desktops, lets see what window managers are using these functions best and what sort of eye candy all you gentoo freaks can come up with

you can emerge xvidcap to make movies, use the ~/.xvidcap.scf at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Xvidcap.
and run

Code: Select all

mencoder capture-01.mpg -vf scale -zoom -xy 512 -fps 11 -o funky-desktop.avi -ovc xvid

to encode the move

I'll get the ball roling

Same question here.

The Movie is Azumi, by Ryuhei Kitamura who did Versus,
It stars Aya Ueto, a jpop star. http://imdb.com/title/tt0384819/

Your video will make me switch to the new x.org

Does the new xserver feel `snappier' with these extra extensions? I was watching your cpu level on gkrellm, and they barely went above 30%. Glad to see they're finally offloading some stuff onto the gpu.

Yeah, it's snappier. I'm running the X 6.8-rc3, and it's pretty damn slick. [/url=http://www.carrieandbrian.info/Screenshot.png]Here[/url] is a picture of what I gots.

I have an nVidia GeForce FX5600, and the RENDER extension is what offloads the processing to the GPU. I'm not sure how good ATI support is, but I've seen some posts where people were having problems. nVidia is working on making everything stable with the new X release.

BTW, what do you guys think -- since Xorg is now the de facto standard for most distros, why don't we just start calling it X officially? Everybody calls it Xorg, but I like just X.

X X X X X X X X. The X Window System. These guys kick ass.

I usually call it X but sometimes people get confused.

unless u guys want to dload a 28mb file at 30kbytes from my home server.. then just let me finish uploading it

hehe you could use -ocv lavc

~searcher

aye, but remember grabbing 25 fps at 1240x1024 goes heavy on the cpu too

in reality its much faster than xfree, even with xcompmgr enabled.

http://www.diabloheat.com/xorg.tar.bz2 - faster mirror., use this

http://www.x5788.net/xorg.tar.bz2 - backup mirror, use this incase first one doesnt work

6mb now

first one was a rough draft

this one is better.

nadir-san · Post by **nadir-san** » Mon Sep 06, 2004 12:27 am

heh, cool, im just grabbing the second one now, ill get it off the fast mirror.
fading is nice, Id like to see if someone has the -f option working properly, i hear in the latest xcompmgr cvs the minimising looks particurly cool, latest cvs build keeps crashing for me, but im working on it

Is there a tutorial around for installing this? I'd love to try it out... (composite)

I'll wait for this to be released and hit ~x86 personally..

The plain old meat and potatoes of X is enough for me right now.

You didn't mention the great Hideo Kojima's role. Though, very tiny, tiny.

Well ... had problems using the command requested..... however, video capture worked fine using xvidcap.
