All i got was a black screen and very broken windows. xterm shows up, but gnome-terminal gets very diffused!

Note: this was before the update, now i just have the Undefined symbol error like the rest of you. Keep up the good work CoffeeBuzz!

Sounds like everyone is seeing this bug. Hrmz...

Hello,
solved unresolved symbol bug.

Xgl simply needs to be updated because Mesa adds a new file (t_vb_arbshader.c).

You have to:
- open /usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src/xgl-xorg/GL/mesa/tnl/Makefile.am
- find these lines and add:

Code: Select all

nodist_libtnl_la_SOURCES = t_array_api.c \
                      t_array_import.c \
                      t_context.c \
                      t_pipeline.c \
                      t_save_api.c \
                      t_save_loopback.c \
                      t_save_playback.c \
                      t_vb_arbprogram.c \
                      t_vb_arbprogram_sse.c \
                      t_vb_arbshader.c \

You HAVE TO ADD the last line

- open /usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src/xgl-xorg/GL/symlink-mesa.sh
- find these line and add:

Code: Select all

    action t_save_api.h
    action t_save_loopback.c
    action t_save_playback.c
    action t_vb_arbprogram.c
    action t_vb_arbprogram.h
    action t_vb_arbprogram_sse.c
    action t_vb_arbshader.c

You HAVE TO ADD the last line

- exec these commands:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src/
cp Mesa/src/mesa/shader/slang/slang_utility.* xgl-xorg/GL/mesa/tnl

- and then:

Code: Select all

emerge xgl

Happy xgl-ing

I know that i have to change /apps/compiz/plugins/cube/screen0/options/svgs to some directory, where are those svgs, but nothing happens.

Pay attention while emerging compiz. After configure runs it will show which parts are enabled, the last option being svg. If that says 'no' probably some dependency is missing.

I have made a couple patches and fixed some of the ebuilds and my current mesa overlay works perfectly. I have posted it here until further notice.

Hey Thrain thanks that worked. Now I get another error so im off to figure this one out.

compiz: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz: No managable screens found on display :1

Not wanting to go through 30 pages of other posts but has anyone got XGL to work with Openbox. Everything starts up but one seems to cancel out the other.

EDIT: Otherwise I love it. Everyone seems to dislike Wobbly Windows but I think it is very entertaining especially when you can control it

haha came in and stole my thunder

(look a page back)... i'll have patches out and a new ebuild within a few hours.

Hello, i tried fixing the unresolved symbols on two different ways now. Both ways solves the problem but they leave me with this:

laptop Desktop # Xgl :1 -ac -accel xv -accel glx:pbuffer
X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
Major opcode of failed request: 158 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 1 (X_GLXRender)
Serial number of failed request: 94
Current serial number in output stream: 95

laptop Desktop # Xgl :1
X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
Major opcode of failed request: 158 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 1 (X_GLXRender)
Serial number of failed request: 94
Current serial number in output stream: 95

I have re-emerged both mesa and xgl, what could be the matter? I'm using the intel i810 driver.

Yes you were right, in default ebuild there is missing --eneble-libsvg-cairo option. But now i found, that i must show svg file itself, not directory as described. So how can i switch images with those shortcuts without any aditional scripts?

What kind of graphics distortions? There was a post about something like this earlier in the thread.

Hey, i managed to grab them in a screenshot http://img127.imageshack.us/my.php?image=distort4lu.jpg. The distortions go away if i re-render the ecreen / widfet / what ever. It could it be my version of gtk+ or nvidia drivers ?

It's very important that the server DOESN'T use the libGL.so deliverd with your driver, but the one delivered with glx:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so Xgl :1 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:pbuffer

If the /usr/lib/libGL.so isn't the right one, just do a locate to a good one.

Has anyone outhere any experience with segmentation faults sometimes while starting compiz? It results in XGL shutting down...

That wiki page is total bull####!!!

We got ******* comin on this thread yelling at everyone to read the wiki page except half of the things that the wiki is instructing is just flat out incorrect....

profane comment!!!!

If you ####### can yell then I should be allowed to yell as well.......

Dubby, calling us jackasses is not the way to get us to help. And I wouldn't use wobbly windows. I hear nothing but complaints about it. Just follow the wiki and remove the wobbly window part.

rob2687 · Post by **rob2687** » Tue Feb 14, 2006 1:08 am

Your problem may be related to something completely different. If you see something incorrent in the wiki then correct it! That's the beauty of a wiki. I don't see anything wrong with it. Maybe a couple things should be updated but that's it.

Wobbly works fine here.

duby2291 · Post by **duby2291** » Tue Feb 14, 2006 1:17 am

I'm sorry fella's I'll edit my post.... Lost my head there I guess....

Sorry about the foulness... Wont happen again....

Anyhow, I am still not able to get wobbly to work I've tried -O2 -O1 -O0, none of them work....

I had decorations working yesterday but now today they are broken again.... I'm stumped and upset, but I guess that is why the call it experimental huh?

Unfortunately I don't quite get you

I didn't actually try this, but my (hopefully) intelligent guesses follow:
The gconf key is a list of svgs to show.
You can define two shortcuts to go forward/backward (by default space and backspace iirc)
Maybe the central point in getting this to work is you need to activate a key in the rotate settings that allow you to 'lock' onto the top of the cube.

Sorry if that wasn't helpful, maybe if you tell exactly what you tried and did/didn't work I can refine my guesswork

d is for decker · Post by **d is for decker** » Tue Feb 14, 2006 2:31 am

I am an unfortunate black window nvidia user. I was wondering if someone who has this working could do an strace and post/mail/pm the output. What i am looking for is:

Code: Select all

strace Xgl :1 -ac -accel xv -accel glx:pbuffer &> ~/xgl.log&
strace compiz gconf.... &> ~/compiz.log&
xterm

Where you use whatever usual stuff for the LD_* environment variables. I am suspicious of the way in which dlopen is working on my system and recall that reveman said that linking order and symbol resolution/shadowing are *essential* tricks to getting it working.

thanks in advance

EDIT: *refresh*

lucida · Post by **lucida** » Tue Feb 14, 2006 3:49 am

Got Xgl up&running 3 days ago without much problem, I guess I'm lucky.
but...

1. Doesn't work well with NVidia's FSAA, especially on mplayer
2. gnome-terminal works around 50% of the time, but xterm just works without any problem
3. can't logout normally, have to ctrl+alt+backspace, then "pkill -u lucida", otherwise, xgl wouldn't start next time

and, may be dumb, but in which package can I find transset working with compiz?

Check out transset-df and xbindkeys. It allows you to use Ctrl+Wheel to control transparency. Check it out at Gentoo-Wiki.
Otherwise you can just use the transset in portage.
