Edit by nixnut: Continued from here

I'm just getting started, and I'm not really sure what to do about this. I tried both overlays, but I still get the same error during xgl compile. Ideas?

in window mode no problem with xv, but fullscreen is horrobly cpu intensive.
not with gl2, there are the same frame rates und same intension.

ctrl+alt+left mouse on the destop button ykou can rotate.
ctrl+alt+arrow (left or right) works as well for rotating.
windows key + mousewheel is for zooming.
ctrl+alt+left mouse on a window you can drag the window in sticky mode.

rob2687 · Post by **rob2687** » Sun Feb 12, 2006 4:58 pm

How do you activate the zoom, cube switching and stuff?

When I do those listed above it just goes to the main xserver not the XGL i have running in a window.

Is there any way to activate other layouts than the english one?

For german layout, emerge setxkbmap and the run

You will probably need to run it as a separate x-server.

This seems to no be usuable with ATI (even if you change accel... but i think adding a DISPLAY=:0 to the command may work (and updating the accel to ATI)... anyway, i don't have ati machine, so i cannot test this...

1) thumb buttons on my mx500 don't work :/ - larger button is detected as button number 49 (wtf?) and smaller one is not detected at all (checked in xev). Also xgl uses xorg6.8's way of mapping mouse keys so only 7 buttons are available to the user.
2) my gnome pager used to switch desktops looks funky - it uses taskbar color as color for desktop's preview background
3) why xgl messes with input (eg. mouse - look 1) ) and window decoration stuff? this is bad, why would we want to reinvent things (obviusly I don't know what Xgl infact is)?
4) very rarely 100% cpu usage by xgl, also I can't shut down Xgl without zapping it (ctrl+alt+backspace)
5) it would be nice to see fluid animation when changing transparency levels instead of immediate change

Other than that it is nice (till I find another irritating bug )! Great work and many thanks for Novell and David Reveman.
My specs:
~x86 system,
ati radeon 9500 @ fglrx 8.22.5,
xgl & rest of stuff emerged yesterday using latest hanno's ebuilds.

I have the high cpu useage problem (Especially when running emerge), and the evdev problem where xgl won't let xbindkeys run properly like I can in Xorg7.

But also, can anyone use the gnome-theme-manager? It seems to crash for me because the themes don't support compiz or something.

TheS4int:
how do you start Xgl?
Are there any special options in your xorg.conf.?

I start it from kdm. I modified the kdmrc and put a script for compiz in .kde/autostart. That works fine me.

And from xorg.conf:

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Keyboard[0]"
    Driver         "kbd"
    Option         "Protocol" "Standard"
    Option         "XkbLayout" "de"
    Option         "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option         "XkbRules" "xfree86"
    Option         "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection

Is that ok?

I already tried modprobe xkb

DeeZiD · Post by **DeeZiD** » Sun Feb 12, 2006 5:48 pm

IT WORKS!!!
although it's not perfect: can't use backsplash when pushing shift - strange thing^^

I only had to set the following thing in my xorg.conf:

Code: Select all

from:
    Option         "XkbRules" "xfree86" 
to:
    Option         "XkbRules" "xorg"

I used an old config from my suse because I'm a bit lazy to search for modelines for my 1680x1050px 20'TFT

if you are using gnome, you can use the utility to configure it. It seems to work with spanish layout. Use it from the Desktop-Preferences-Keyboard.
Seems that http://bugs.freedesktop.org is down, someone knows what is happening? There were yesterday two patches for i810-i915 vblank bug in DRI/MESA...

Same problem here, especially when compiling. Might be a scheduling problem, but that's just a wild guess...

Another problem I've got is that gnome-screensaver unfortunately doesn't work for me anymore, other than that, I seem to be one of the lucky ones where nearly everything works

so all this works/should work with KDE if one just shuts down kwin and uses the gnome window manager? i don't have any gtk packages, currently - what is the name of the gnome window manager?

DeeZiD · Post by **DeeZiD** » Sun Feb 12, 2006 6:53 pm

GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is currently rendered in software because actual graphicsdrivers from ati and nvidia doesn't support it.
When this extension gets its hardwareaccelation Xgl should be fast as without compiling.

Everything seems to work here; I just wanted to share a couple things I noticed. Enabling anti-aliasing causes bad flickering while rotating the cube (probably an nvidia only problem). Compiz seems very sensitive to CFLAGS, Ctrl + Alt + Button1 for mouse rotation would cause it to segfault. Zoom did this as well. I was able to fix this by blanking my CFLAGS (no, I'm not using -omg-optimalized, -funroll-fruit-loops, -ffast-math, or anything that would be considered insane, just -O2 and some other safe stuff). Wobbly is problematic. It doesn't work and causes compiz to segfault soon after starting. I'm using AMD64 is it makes any difference...

DeeZiD · Post by **DeeZiD** » Sun Feb 12, 2006 6:59 pm

@Plastic

I've non of these problems. Wobbly causes not even a single problem.

I'm using Hanno's ebuild from 02-11-06 and GCC 4.0.2
My CFLAGS:

Code: Select all

CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fvisibility-inlines-hidden"

which card do you have?

I think I might be the only person having this problem.. Everyone else at least gets an error message, I get nothing. When I run Xgl :1 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv, Nothing happens, and it doesn't give me any errors. Has anyone else experienced this? What could be happening here? How can I at least see an error?

You can see the process running? Do you have another xorg server going as well? How about ctrl-F8, does that bring it up?

If you don't have another X server running, you may need to delete the lock files in /tmp. Happened to me a few times.. The way I got rid of them is:
Code: Select all
rm /tmp/.X?-lock
rm /tmp/.X11-unix/X?
Then try starting it again.
No I still get the same error. I deleted the lock files as you suggest but it still happens. It has something to do with missing opengl files.

It is looking for them in /usr/lib... So I did an slocate libGLcore and found one in /usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia/lib/ It then starts up but then complains that fglrx cannot be loaded....

Keep in mind I no longer have an nvidia card installed, I switched to an ATI card But I cannot find a libGLcore for ati.... I'm stumped

@superstoned
if compiz and xgl are installed you can do the following.

Open a terminal and open the kdmrc:

Code: Select all

nano /usr/kde/3.5/share/config/kdm/kdmrc

Than replace the ServerCmd-line:

Code: Select all

ServerCmd=/usr/bin/Xgl -kb -br -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:fbo -fullscreen #ati-users use xv:pbuffer

Then create a compiz.desktop with the following lines:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Comment=
Comment[de]=
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib DISPLAY=:0 compiz --replace decoration wobbly fade switcher move resize place minimize cube rotate zoom scale & gnome-window-decorator

Name[de]=compiz
Path=
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
X-DCOP-ServiceType=
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=

put it into your homefolder in .kde/autostart

ISSUES:

Code: Select all

- colorselection doesn't work
- systray only works for gtk-apps
- if cube is enabled the pager only shows one virtual desktop
- the show desktop button doesn't work

Have a nice day

Yes, the process is running. Taking 0% cpu and 1.6% memory. I'm assuming you meant ctrl+alt+F8 .. that just brings me to an inactive terminal (blank screen with blinking cursor).

Yeah sorry, ctrl-alt-F8, are there any other xorg processes running (you should see Xgl and Xorg running when you launch xgl, if you have another Xorg server running you'll see two xorg processes)
