Anybody starting xgl from kdm? What file have I put in /etc/X11/Sessions? I just emerged gnome-light and I would like to start it alongside KDE on next console ALT-CTRL-F8 (you know, from kmenu) for testing purposes. Thanks.

@ x11perf

I have a Radeon card and got the same compiling error with the newest mesa. I changed my make.conf to include fglrx but not ati (maybe this is wrong I don't know which programs use this and which values may be here,) but that allowed the emerge to complete without error, and I put ati back in after. I can't say that makes everything work, since I use KDE and haven't done anything more than open a window with xgl and run applications in it without window decorations, which work ok with some apps and not others. Hopefully we can get further with KDE on this soon. Good luck.

Hi folks,
I tried to compile Xgl with the ebuilds of Hanno Böck's overlay and got the following error while compiling xgl:

I think you mean you get those when compiling MESA, and I'm having the same error

I think we should just wait for a new update of the overlay or MESA CVS

--edit:
Upon closer inspection I'm having a slightly different error, but this may be just different CVS checkouts(?):

i got the same error but now i write this post using Xgl

if you use fglrx module you dont have to compile radeon from mesa - what for? just change VIDEO_CARD to sth else.

Solved the compile time issue, I now ran into the white windows problem.

Anyone that solved this problem can please post his/her solution? Thanks!

In the meantime, I'll try coffee overlay

Good, this solved my mesa's radeon_mm.c compiling problems:

I'm trying to compile xgl and compiz using the coffee overlay, and following the wiki. Currently I'm having an issue compiling xgl. I'm getting this error:

I finally got xgl running. Two problems are left:

Xgl (or probably compiz) won't start with my ati dual-screen setup, I have to revert to single-screen. I have seen a video on the net wher someone uses Xgl with nvidia TwinView...
The screen sometimes just turns black after a while. If I remember past posts here correctly this is a driver issue, right?

Is anyone successfully running Xgl in a dual-screen setup?

On the "visual format" error:

After remerging nvidia-glx didn't solve my problem (although I knew my card supports XGL (The Kororaa live CD is great, btw!)), I checked my xorg.conf and .log found out I wasn't using the right color depth. So everyone who still encounters this problem should make sure DefaultColorDepth is set to 16 or 24 and the Display section is correct.

Chi,
Stefan
