XGL (part 2)

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?

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.

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:

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:

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...

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?

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...

@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:

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?

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

Open a terminal and open the kdmrc:
