 Posted: Fri Feb 24, 2006 8:36 pm Post subject: XGL trouble with Gnome Workspace switcher |
 |
|
A few things about XGL have to be fixed on my desktop before I fully adopt it.
1- My Gnome workspace-switcher and application list crash when XGL is launched. I have the lastest 2.13 versions of Gnome portage.
The console error when I launch XGL

2- My videos are not well rendered under XGL. Xine duplicated the image of certain movies. The UI is buggy too. I tried to change the video driver used by xine without any result.
You can see it there

The Pink thing is the UI

| Code: |
The panel encountered a problem while loading
"OAFIID:GNOME_WindowMenuApplet".
The panel encountered a problem while loading
"OAFIID:GNOME_WorkspaceSwitcherApplet".

I also have this problem.
Edit: Crap maybe I should read the wiki that is bolded and in huge letters at the start of ever Xgl post.
Killing gnome-panels and starting it up again fixes it. I just made launcher links on my desktop. |

i have the same video problem with mplayer 
but i managed to solve the workspace-switcher problem starting xgl with this script
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
echo ">Starting XGL at Display: $1"
echo "========= XGL ============"
Xgl :$1 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv &
sleep 3
echo "======= COMPIZ ==========="
DISPLAY=:$1 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ compiz --replace gconf decoration wobbly fade minimize cube rotate zoom scale move resize place switcher opacity &
sleep 3
echo "====== DECORATIONS ======="
DISPLAY=:$1 gnome-window-decorator &
# sleep 3
echo "======= GNOME ============"
DISPLAY=:$1 gnome-session &
DISPLAY=:$1 nautilus -n --sync &
DISPLAY=:$1 setxkbmap -model itouch -layout it -variant basic &
#echo "======= LOGOUT ============"
#killall Xgl
# Adding the line above,if you can't logout Gnome correctly.

Thx a lot for your script!!!
Now it works really fine.
For your Mplayer, mine works fine. Try emerging the last version with "-xv" flag. And use opengl drivers in your properties. That should do it.
I was trying to view videos with xine and totem player... I guess i'll stick with mplayer for a while
Cheers!
Everyone is waiting for XGL to become a standard before trying it.... but Gentoo people got it first

| is there another way to fix the panels issue? killing gnome-panel and starting it again doesn't seem like a long term fix... |
