You might want to try dropping out of X to do it (that's what works for me), and did you install the modular xorg? This is what I show running (and I'm typing this from inside Xgl):
1000 14082 1 54 10:50 tty1 01:58:44 Xgl -ac -accel xv:fbo -accel glx:pbuffer

1000 15698 15692 0 14:26 pts/1 00:00:00 grep X |
Hmm.. thought I installed Modular Xorg correctly according to the howto from the wiki.. Maybe I didn't? I just started my "normal" X session using GDM. |

No, I think everybody with nVidia Geforce 4 MX or similar cards have that problem.
Well, at least I do...  |

I've also got it working with the ATI drivers. It's looks pretty good. The only downside for me is that for some reason the Mono-Beagle daemon starts consuming 100% CPU. I've not investigated enough to prove it's Xgl, but it only started misbehaving when I ran it for the first time!
|
What did you do to get this working?
Everything I have emerged have worked fine, but when I start Compiz my screen messes up much like what others have posted screenshots of, with the screen all garbled. Glxcompmgr worked fine, but Compiz does not for some reason....
I really have no clue to as to why it does not work, especially when everybody seems to have better success with the ATI drivers...

Tvtime used to get corrupted for me.. it just crashes as soon as I start it currently, though. kdetv allows you to use X11 as an output, but it doesn't stretch to fullscreen. |

@Superstoned: That would be great
@TheS4int: I only have problems with ugly flickering because I don't know how to setup VerticalSync for the xserver and that I cannot zoom into the video. I'm using kaffeine with my DVB-t-card.
Does anyone know how to setup vertical sync for the whole Xserver?
My TFT has 60Hz (vert.)

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: |
CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fvisibility-inlines-hidden"
|
which card do you have?
regards Dennis |
This thread moves too fast. Anyway, I have a Geforce 7800GT, using 8178 drivers. I'm guessing this is AMD64 related. Using latest versions of Hanno's ebuilds. |

Okay for people asking how to get true transparency in Xgl just install transset-df (ebuild here ) and xbindkeys (in portage). Then create in your home directory file named .xbindkeysrc with following content:
| Code: |
"transset-df --min 0.2 -p --dec 0.1"
control + b:4
"transset-df -p --inc 0.2"
control + b:5
|
And then just launch xbindkeys. Now you can control transparency of selected window by pressing ctrl and mouse-wheel-up or mouse-wheel-down (minimum transparency level is set to 0.2, increment is 0.1 if we are fading out and 0.2 if we are fading in - I think it is sensible enough).
I found another irritating bug - when app is loading there is launch feedback in the form of several frames of increasing size (hopefully you get what I mean  ). This is awfully slow and cpu usage is skyrocketing  Any ideas how to fix (or disable) it?

You probably need to update your graphics card drivers. What is your graphics card? |

No patch needed. Just delete /usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src/compiz and re-emerge. |

The point of my post was that the patch is no longer necessary, just get compiz now form cvs  |

No need to delete. emerge uses cvs update. |

Recompil compiz with wery basic CFLAGS. Compiz is very fragile...
example :

I can't even get wobbly running with no CFLAGS at all. I think it breaks on AMD64. For those who do have wobbly working, can you tell me the exact order of the plugins you are starting? It actually makes a huge difference for some (ex: if switcher is started before fade, it is glitchy and slow). |

| The switcher is very nice. Does anyone else have problems with missing decorations around some applications ? Most seem to work fine except vlc in my case. |

yes. all the same whether I use with gl2 or xv or x11. i think its because vsync is disabled under XGL. its like a game  |

@TheS4int:
When I'm using X instead of Xgl I can always enable VerticalSync for Opengl oder Xv but in Xgl it is impossible.
Isn't there any switch for xorg.conf?
