apparently not, and unless your the same guy, someone reported it in multimedia or desktop enviornments a couple days ago, prolly should brought it over here then.. but its soo easy to quote :lol:

Yeah it was. Make sure you "patch" it in this order:

1. unpack the source with ebuild /path/to/your/ebuild unpack
2. Patch file
3. run ebuild /path/to/your/ebuild merge to finish instalation

thats what i did and it fixed the same problem that your having now.

I've run into a small problem getting xgl to compile. Actually, it's evolution-data-server and it's being caused by libXft, from what I can tell. I've been following this howto http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_XGL and I'm almost finished. The section I'm on is emerge -av xgl compiz. All has gone fairly well, except for libXft causing problems earlier. It was blocking xorg-7 which was already emerged and working. I had been using xorg-7 since I installed gentoo on my laptop about 3 weeks ago.
Now evolution-data-server is wanting libXft again to finish compiling, but it blocks xorg6.8 and I haven't quite figured out why it's trying to pull that package in. I've got it in package.mask to block older versions of xorg, so....?

Here's my errors and whatnot.

I only wanted to tell everybody that I just found this at http://de.opensuse.org/Xgl_unter_SUSE_Linux_verwenden ( german ) :

Setting for Xgl using nvidia propietary driver to use accelerated function fbo of the nvidia driver instead of pbuffers :

-accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:fbo

while the gentoo xgl wiki states

-accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv

I will now try the novell/suse recommended setting to check if I see any difference ( its so fast already that I don't think I will see any difference anyway ).

Theres a new Version u can grep here
http://orgizm.net/~daniel/cubecolor-0.1.tar.bz2

Hey ho!!
I made a C Skript for some nice Colorfades at the Top and Bottom of the Cube of Compiz, maybe someone would use it.
I finished it yet, and i just added a blue fade. For some different Colors edit the extarnal file "color.config"
now heres the code:
cubecolor.c:

Hi gravedigga_23,

this sounds interesting. But to be honest: I'm too lacy to check this out, since I don't exactly know what it looks like.
Can you post a screenshot, or better a video clip of the animation recorded with "xvidcap" for example?

This would be nice.

Xgl is crashing every time I load firefox.

I'm using the most recent coffee overlay and just recompiled everything (glitz, glproto, compiz, xgl, and mesa) from cvs today. Starting other apps see to do it also, but every time I load firefox 1.5.0.1 it crashes. I'm thinking something is conflicting with a library or something (gtk+ a wild guess) and crashing Xgl. I just tried running Xgl without compiz running at all and it still happened. Any ideas guys?

When I start zsnes with Xgl, the window is a bit transparent (although I don't use a transparency plugin), and the black parts are complete transparent (I see nothing of them). I use xgl-20060216 and compiz-20060216 (from Hanno's overlay) and zsnes-1.42 (I tried every possible combination of USE-Flags for zsnes, always the same) on a nVidia card. Does anybody here have the same problem and/or knows how to solve it?
