XGL and NVIDIA

  • Quote

Post by sque » Fri Feb 10, 2006 5:11 am

Visit WIKI BEFORE ASKING:HOWTO Xgl

I am firing up this new thread for NVIDIA users specific.

The problem is NVIDIA driver does not support GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap and the only patch that exists is for Mesa and from a few things i have read and heard Nvidia closed drivers conflicts with mesa's opengl.
(maybe I should read more :oops: )

===== COMMON ERRORS ======
I will start pointing out the common errors with a solution/workarround

#1.
Problem:

Code: Select all

bash-2.05b# compiz
compiz: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz: No managable screens found on display localhost:2.0 
Solution:
Put the LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ before compiz command line

Code: Select all

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ DISPLAY=:1 compiz 
#2.
Problem:
When you start up Xgl you get an error like:

Code: Select all

Fatal error:
no visual format
Solution
This error usually comes with an additional error reported by nvidia driver that couldn't found GLX,
Baeksu reported same error if he used nv driver rather that nvidia at xorg.conf

Code: Select all

emerge nvidia-glx

#3.
Problem
When you start up Xgl you get an error like:

Code: Select all

dlopen: file not found /usr/lib/xorg/modules/xgl/libglx.so
Solution
I dont know if the nvidia driver erases ti at unistallation, or the mesa, but you need to reemerge xgl

Code: Select all

emerge xgl
#4
Problem
When you start compiz with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH if you get an error like this:

Code: Select all

compiz: pixmap 0x200043 can't be bound to texture
compiz: Couldn't bind redirected window 0x40001a to texture
Solution
Dont know yet, thus UNRESOLVED

I'm having similar problems.

Starting compiz with "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/" results in errors:

Code: Select all

compiz: pixmap 0x200043 can't be bound to texture
compiz: Couldn't bind redirected window 0x40001a to texture
Any help is appreciated.

[edit:] I'd like to point out that the problems seem to be related to GeForce 4 cards, as some nvidia users seem to be running xgl without problems.

Same issue as baeksu. Also, it clocks my processor at 100%, slowing everything down to a crawl, before spitting out that message.

I am able to run compiz but get black windows.

I compiled the latest overlay from:

http://dev.gentoo.org/~hanno/

glx starts:

#Xgl :1 -ac -accel xv -accel glx:pbuffer &

from another terminal I can start gnome-session:

#DISPLAY=":1" gnome-session

I can even start compiz:

#LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ DISPLAY=:1 compiz

but any windows I open come up black. They are active windows. Menus that extend off the window show up black (while I right click on a mozilla window on the far right the options menu makes a black mask on the rest of the screen for instance.)

if I try and load a module with compiz:

#LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ DISPLAY=:1 compiz shadow

I get:

compiz: Couldn't load plugin 'libshadow.so'

if I do the menu plugin:

#LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/" compiz --replace menu

compiz: dlsym: /usr/lib/libmenu.so: undefined symbol: getCompPluginInfo
compiz: Failed to lookup getCompPluginInfo in 'libmenu.so' plugin

A sucess story; I got the latest nvidia-drivers, hanno's ebuilds, Xorg 7.0 as needed, gcc 4.0.2. Works fine, everything except that it eats CPU and doesn't run programs that use OGL.

One thing that differs from hanno's ebuild is that use mesa-6.4.3_alpha20060209-r2, but that's the only diffrence.

You probably want to apply my patches for the switcher-plugin to Compiz also.

SUCCESS!

Hannos latest overlay didnt have mesa...20060209-r2 in it and I didn't notice it when I built it. I coipied it out of where I had it in an incremental copy of the xgl overlay I'd been keeping.

I rebuilt it putting VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" in my make.conf to get past the error I was getting while building an intel GPU driver.

I'm still getting errors in loading many compiz plugings.

"resize" works.

decorations doesn't
shadow doesn't

anyone have a link to a list of plugins and how they are supposed to be used?

compiz # emerge -pv mesa

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] media-libs/mesa-6.4.3_alpha20060209-r2 USE="motif -debug" VIDEO_CARDS="-ati* -i810 -mga* -none -s3virge* -savage* -sis* -tdfx* -trident* -via*" 0 kB [1]
mesa-6.4.3_alpha20060209-r2
I don't see nvidia card there? I got the same black screen windows, build mesa-6.4.3_alpha20060209-r2 but continue the same thing :S

You do not need to specifiy the video card for the ebuild with nvidia.

I needed it because I would fail on the build while building something for the intel 915 with that mesa build cant remember what exactly but since I could cut it out...

###

m420,

What are you running in what order? This is the script I am running (conveniently put in /usr/bin/startxgl)

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
Xgl :1 -ac -accel xv -accel glx:pbuffer &
DISPLAY=:1 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ compiz --replace decoration fade minimize move place resize scale cube zoom rotate &

I use the same commands you use to start xgl, compiz, gnome. I get this errors related to compiz:

Code: Select all

compiz: Couldn't bind redirected window 0x6007c1 to texture
compiz: pixmap 0x200443 can't be bound to texture

I cant understad... i did what poppa said.
I putted mesacvsblalba-r2 at my overlay
emerged mesa, glitz, xgl, compiz

when i tried to start Xgl i took an error

Code: Select all

Fatal error:
no visual format
I also noticed an error of the nvidia driver that couldn't find GLX
i checked /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensios and there was only libglx.so.1.0.8178
so, i made a soft link libglx.so at the same location and tried to start xgl again.

Nvidia drivers stopped complaining about Xgl but i am getting this error:

Code: Select all

_XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/localhost:1
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6

I have most of the plugins working.

cube and rotate

still no decorations.

apparently there is a app with compiz called gnome-window-decorator. but its not on my path. I unpacked the source and did a manual ./autogen and found that gnome support is not coming as enabled. Using "--enable-gnome" did not work either.

I'm gonna whack at it more tomorrow. gnight all :)

Hi, i have an old Geforce3 ti200. Everything works exept decoration, shadows and OGL. Does anyone have a solution to this yet? I followed the Hanno guide.

edit: forgot, xgl dont read my xorg.conf keyboard settings.

I didn't get the gnome-window-decorator either. If you find a solution then please post it. I tried asking it in the other thread, but no one else seemed to have this.

(I assume you don't have gnome installed?)

well you're using Mesa so all the fancy effects are done in software not on your gfx card, come back in a few months once nvidia have implemented the required extensions for compiz and it will be useable. right now this is all a bit pointless

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only part of this stack implemented by mesa is the conversion of a pixmap to a GL texture, afterwards all "fancy effects" are simple GL transformations and are in fact accelerated. That's why you need nvidia or ati drivers to run this!

Hello,
Is any feature of Xgl accelerated by binary NVIDIA drivers? (After lunch Xgl system slows down, so it isn't hardware accel).

What graphics cards can i try with true hardware acceleration of Xgl functions? (not too old cards ;) )

Xgl *uses* hardware acceleration! Only Compiz needs Mesa because of missing GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension. It is nVidia who created (with David Reveman from Novell) this OpenGL extension, so I think it will be implemented in forthcoming nVidia Linux drivers.

But it is only one extension, Xgl is accelerated anyway by now - so it shouldn't be much CPU intensive even now. If it is, then there is some problem with your installation/configuration.
o Athlon-XP 2600+ (512kB cache), 512MB DDR400 RAM, GeForce FX-5600 128MB
o using Arch Linux now, but still love Gentoo ;-)

I got everything working but I have a "black windows" problem :cry:

Guys who has success stories, could you post your videocard model and nvidia driver version?
I have GeForce2 MX400 64mb and I'm using nvidia-kernel-1.0.8178-r3 and nvidia-glx-1.0.8178.

Thanks.

I have most of the plugins working.

cube and rotate

still no decorations.

apparently there is a app with compiz called gnome-window-decorator. but its not on my path. I unpacked the source and did a manual ./autogen and found that gnome support is not coming as enabled. Using "--enable-gnome" did not work either.

I'm gonna whack at it more tomorrow. gnight all :)
Try skipping the pluralis in decorations; 'decoration' should be correct ;)

Code: Select all

mago@leary ~/tier $ cat ../runxgl.sh
#!/bin/bash
#LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ xinit /usr/bin/compiz --
/usr/bin/Xgl :1 -accel xv -accel glx:pubffer -ac -fp `grep -i fontpath /etc/X11/xorg.conf | egrep -v "^\W+#" | sed "s/.\+"\(.\+\)"/\1,/g" | xargs echo | sed "s/\ //g" | sed "s/,\$//"` -kb -br

Code: Select all

mago@leary ~/tier $ cat ../runxglcompiz.sh
#!/bin/bash

if [[ -z `ps -eaf | grep [X]gl` ]]
    then
        echo "No Xgl..."
    else
        echo "compiz"
        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/
        export DISPLAY=:1
        gnome-session &
        sleep 5
#        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ compiz --replace gconf decoration wobbly fade minimize cube rotate zoom scale move resize place switcher &

Writing lots of posts doesn't necessarily make you a Guru; might prove that you're just too stupid to go figure :-P
