I've now got xgl and compiz happily installed, however, I'm having trouble getting it going.

I'm trying to get it going rootless to start with. I'm following the gentoo wiki article using:

Code: Select all

Xgl :1 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ DISPLAY=:1 compiz gconf
DISPLAY=:1 gnome-window-decorator
DISPLAY=:1 xterm

After the first command, I get a window with the black and white mesh and X cursor of a raw X session.

After command 2, I get a plain blue window.

After command 3, I get no change (and no errors).

After command 4, I get a white box within the blue window, which is non responsive, although the cursor changes to a "text input shape" when I mouse over the white box.

If I start the server from a tty using Coffee's startxgl script, the x server comes up, but I just get a white screen.

Please note that I'm using xgl >=20060312.

CAn anyone help me with this please.

Hi!

I was on Hanno overlay and changed for Coffee...
but when I emerge all the packages I need for xgl, emerging xgl itself gives me this error

Code: Select all

I read that it is because glproto out of date, but I use the lastest Coffee overlay revision 72.

Code: Select all

emerge glproto mesa glitz xgl -pv

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

My version of glproto IS 1.4.5-r1...
I don't get it. Did they broke their ebuild?

It is written that I downgrade my xgl version because the hanno ebuild isnt marked alpha. Does it matter?

You need glproto-1.4.6_alpha*

i dont know why i didnt do this before, but I just chagned the mesa dependancy to >=glproto-1.4.6_alpha

and glproto-1.4.6 was just released today too, so once it hits portage this cvs package will be obsolete.

SpikeXtrem · Post by **SpikeXtrem** » Fri Mar 17, 2006 1:41 am

Hey you are terribly right. I updated around 17:00 this afternoon for revision 72 and this package didnt exists on the repository. and now it's 20:30 and its revision 75 with the alpha version to get it work. Man, these guys never sleep!

You can add to your /etc/portage/package.keywords if its not already there

Code: Select all

x11-proto/glproto

and this to your /etc/portage/package.unmask

Code: Select all

>=x11-proto/glproto-1.4.6_alpha

It made my portage install the alpha version

Just to be sure, I added in my /etc/portage/package.mask so it cant be downgraded

Code: Select all

<x11-proto/glproto-1.4.6_alpha

guys?? try "guy" ... singular.

Could always use a hand maintaining if any knowledgable folk out there want to help. You need to know how to write ebuilds, how autotools works, subversion and C (not necessarily the inner workings of Xgl , but it definitly helps - and I only know the basics).

And FYI if you want to know why revision jump by on average 10 a day its becasue:

a) digesting - I get in the habit of digesting, installing, testing. then removing some cruft and commiting without redigesting.
b) typos - the odd time when i write patches sometimes I just make sure they can be applied with epatch instead of compiling the thing, and sure enough theres a typo in the patch ...
c) forgetting to commit all changes - often I make changes to a package, commit. forget to update the README, recommit. forgot about updating the other package... recommit ... so on and so forth. i should just commit at the end of the day instead of on the fly really.
d) the fact that i only have an nvidia card makes it hard to test. i make changes. it works perfect for me then the ati and intel herd come a knocking saying its broke. fix, recommit.

still getting a handle on it I suppose. repoman really doesn't like my repository either heh.

yes I did.

I rebuilt mesa, Xgl, compiz with eselect opengl set xorg-x11, several times, I got that error.
I used the emxgl script in the xgl-coffee overlay, I got that error.
I updated to latest and greatest mesa, I got that error.
I rebuilt everything using the script from the xgl-coffee overlay, still that error.

SpikeXtrem · Post by **SpikeXtrem** » Fri Mar 17, 2006 2:54 pm

Just a question.

Can I have a quick answer why dri is disabled in xgl, and if its possible that it will be enabled in the future so I can play my favorite 3d games on linux?

At least at this state it was told me that theres no dri with xgl. Please correct me if Im wrong and show me how.

My friend on unbuntu activated dri with aiglx so I guess its possible with xgl too

I am having this issue also, using rev 77 of coffee Xgl built off of said rev today (20060317).

here we go again. I installed gnome 2.14 and when I enter gnome now my windows dont have any borders or frame. They are attached to the gnome taskbar and cant be moved. And all features of compiz are unavailable. Is that because compiz does load well?

EDIT : Nevermind I checked in Gnome-session and my startup programs were deleted from the list. Just added them back and everything is fine

For me it was the 20060312 build. I updated to a later build (20060317 I think), and all was well.

It's out now... in portage, so emerge glproto to get the latest released version.

Well... you're not alone. O also followed the HOWTO several times to make sure I wasn't missing anything, searched the forums and I still get that same error

The live CD Kororaa works. Maybe I'll compare configurations when I get home.

PS:

Oh! And I don't have compiz in gconf-editor either! Anyone has any idea about this?

codemaker · Post by **codemaker** » Tue Mar 21, 2006 12:56 am

Ok. I updated Xgl, synced and followed the howto again. Now Xgl is working

I now have other problems (keyboard shortcuts and mouse wheel not working) but I think I saw something about this around here. I'm going to sleep for now but much more happy

take a look at my kdmrc section:

And
Xstartup:

sorry my english...

compiz: failed to load image: background.png

Did you start it in test mode?

Try creating ~/.compiz/images and putting two png files in it named background.png and window.png
You can go get the real ones Here.
See if that works.

Check /usr/share/compiz. They should be there already, maybe corrupt.

Finally I got it runing, it is so cool that inspired me deeply, however I have a small problem about compiz,
when I use ctrl-alt-left(right) to switch desktop, after sometimes, the focus of the target desktop is confusion,
when I click the active window (judged by the title bar) on the target desktop, it lower the window, and another
window raised, then I click the raised window, it can really get the focus in most times, but sometimes the input
focus are back to the first active window after switch desktop.

Did anyone have this problem?

I have it too sometimes. I was not able to reproduce it thought. It looks like the window order is lost somewhere and what we see on top is not realy the top window.

Another thing I notice is that windows completly overlaped by other windows aren't updated in switcher and opacity. For example, if I have movie playing with mplayer in one window and overlap part of it with another one semi-transparent, I can see the movie playing. If I completly overlap it, I cannot see the movie playing. Is this a bug, mis-configuration or is it suppose to work this way?
