It means that you put the flags that were recommended by the Gentoo Handbook for CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS in /etc/make.conf and nothing else.
For example: "-02 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -march=arch" are pretty safe and sane.
(obviously, you don't want to use "arch") |

Erg... erm, probably a FAQ but I haven't been able to find it easily documented on the wiki... how does one turn off that edge rotating thing? It gets absolutely annoying (to me anyway) when I have a very wide window and the screen rotates on me when I move the mouse around. :)

I don't know about a FAQ, but: in gconf-editor, go to /apps/compiz/plugins/rotate/screen0/options and uncheck edge_flip.
There's an excellent Compiz page on the Ubuntu Wiki that lists what the various configuration options are for the plugins. I think this was setup by Quinn before she started the Compiz Forums. |

It would be helpful if you could post the output of "emerge --info". |

well that's odd... the edge_flip option wasn't created? I probably have missed something during the compiz upgrade.

Take a look at this thread -- it may be that when you updated compiz at some point you got a version that didn't import the new schemas, so following the advice in the thread may work for you. Or perhaps just do an install of the latest version? |

Oh well.. I just figured it out. I turned off the transparent proxy on my router/firewall (ipcop) and now it worked. Found the tip here: http://forums.xgl-coffee.org/viewtopic.php?t=58
Is there another way than to turn off the transparent proxy? I like to have the proxy enabled.

I ended up manually creating the option and setting it there. But thanks for the heads-up on the missing schema install and pointing out the option. I guess I had bad timing when I was upgrading compiz. Now if I can just permanently disable Xgl's Shift-Backspace blasphemy w/o having to do xmodmap every time... heh. So many questions!

well I'm pretty close to getting this up and running but I need a little help now .....
I have a problem getting gdm up and running. it tries to start but then it dumps me to blue screen and says that "gdm couldn't execute command"... the command it lists is
| Code: | | command=Xgl :1 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv |
except it actually has two :1's if that makes any sense 
I do not have two :1's in gdm.conf
here is the related lines from gdm.conf
| Code: | # Definition of the standard X server.
[server-Standard]
name=Xgl
command=Xgl :1 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv
# was Xgl :1
flexible=true
chooser=false
handled=true
priority=0 |
I'm not sure but I'm under the impression that you cannot start xgl without starting gdm first which is a change for me since I usually would startx with 'startx' from the command line. If I use the startxgl script on the command line I get into X with no direct redering and everything is really slow and artifacts are left behind when you move windows around and it's easy to crash. Anyway that's just a sidenote my main problem is getting gdm up and running. I have a Geforce4 440 and I do get direct rendering when I use the regular 'startx' script. Please help me out with this I think I am really close 
edit: another note... I can start Xgl in a window when I am in X by executing the appropriate commands and all the compiz effects work in that window I just can't login "for real"

Focus is all messed up. Anyone else have this problem? When I click on a window the one on the "bottom" behind it is clicked and brought to the front. Very annoying.
How can we fix it? |

Sorry if this is already discussed elsewhere but the search didn't return anything usefull for me, so here is my problem:
I followed the Gentoo-Wiki HowTo to setup Xgl and it worked all well, but my keyboard config which is working under normal X won't run with Xgl.
Here is the appropriate part from my xorg.conf:
| /etc/X11/xorg.conf: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Option "XkbModel" "logicdo"
Option "XkbLayout" "de,ru"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:menu_toggle,grp_led:scroll,caps:shift,altwin:super_win,eurosign:e"
Driver "kbd"
EndSection |
Xgl is started using KDM; here are my kdmrc and Xstartup:
| /usr/kde/3.5/share/config/kdm/kdmrc: | | ServerCmd=/usr/bin/Xgl -br -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv -bestRefresh |
| /usr/kde/3.5/share/config/kdm/Xstartup: | LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib compiz --refresh-rate 75 --replace gconf &
sleep 3
gnome-window-decorator & |
So after I logged into KDE (as normal user) I couldn't even use the third level or any key (such as ~ or \ on german keyboard), but a friend told me I should execute | Code: | | xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.de |
after I log in. That's why I made a new shortcut in ~/.kde/Autostart (is there a better way?), but still Super key, euro sign and switching the keyboard layout aren't working.
Any ideas? |

I believe I had this problem too, and solved it by specifying the full path to Xgl:
| Code: | | command=/usr/bin/Xgl :1 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv |

What exactly does the Xinerama patch do?
Before I started using Xgl I was using ATI's drivers with the inbuilt Xinerama support (when they finally put it in) and dual head with KDE and it was good. But now with Xgl I am back to one monitor again because Xgl will crash if I try to use the Dual head setup in my Xorg.conf.
Does this patch allow Xgl to start when the Xorg server is exporting Xinerama? if it does I want to try it out so I can get some form of Dual monitors back while keeping Xgl and Compiz

thank you sir!... I got into X with that but there is no direct rendering and there are artifacts all over the place and no window borders so Iàm gonna recompile everything with -O2 cxx flags and see if that fixes anything.

I dont know about ATI, i use Nvidias buildin Xinerama (twinview), and KDE. I can use two monitors without the patch, but the server don't report xinerma stuff, that means KDM login screen is shown between both screens, all movies in mplayer and xine is streteched, the desktop background have the wrong proportions, and so on. With the patch applied all that stuff works. Ofcourse compiz isnt xinerama aware yet so if you maximize a window it will maximeze over both screens, but its a start. |

REJOICE!!!
I found a fix for the hardlocking on ATI chipsets and thus far it seems to be working!
| Code: | Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Graphics Adapter 0"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
[b]Option "KernelModuleParm" "agplock=0"[/b]
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
|
Found it at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xgl
I'm so freaking excited.  |

I was experiencing the same thing until I updated to the lattest revision. I can't tell for sure if it's fixed or not, but so far I've had no problems. |

Xgl seems to work finally.. but of course not without any problems.. Not sure what you call it, but when I do ALT+TAB to change applications I get the nice preview of the app and it looks good, but when I'm chosen the app I want to use (have in foreground) the "ALT+TAB Window" keeps staying visible on top. It's like an overlay window, it's just in the way graphically (transparent) and I can click on buttons etc underneath it.. but I do want it gone when I've chosen my app. Is this a known bug? How can I get it to go away when I let go of ALT+TAB?
