I wanna ask this again since no one replied last time:
Does anyone know the status of Metacity's compositing functionality? The Gnome Live site says the functionality is coming along nicely but they're aiming for AIGLX I believe and I don't know what APIs (if any) might make it incompatible with XGL. Has anyone experimented with this (successfully or otherwise)? Are there plans to make it compatible with XGL eventually that anyone knows of?
I'm mainly wondering whether Compiz is intended to be the only window manager for XGL eventually or if there will be others, because it seems a little like reinventing the wheel. Why *not* just try to get Metacity working with it if you're using Gnome anyway, or Kwin if you're using KDE?
What are the compatability issues with compositing between AIGLX and XGL implementations? I'm particularly concerned with this issue because I like so many others am using TwinView for xinerama support and compiz hasn't got support for this yet even though there's apparently a patch for Xgl now. I'd love to be able to run Xgl with composited Metacity and get all the cool effects. Xinerama support is the main thing keeping me from using Xgl right now. |

That did it.
Now I only have to get Gnome start normally with Xgl.. I'm getting some error messages when I start Xgl about "The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_WindowListApplet"." and stuff like that. Will look at the troubleshooting page in the wiki

I had a similar problem an I think I solved it modifying the script I used to launch gnome on xgl. This one worked fine:
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
echo ">Starting XGL at Display: 1"
echo "========= XGL ============"
Xgl :1 -ac -accel xv -accel glx:pbuffer &
sleep 3
echo "======= COMPIZ ==========="
DISPLAY=:1 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ compiz --replace gconf &
sleep 3
echo "====== DECORATIONS ======="
DISPLAY=:1 gnome-window-decorator &
# sleep 3
echo "======= GNOME ============"
#DISPLAY=:1 /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon &
DISPLAY=:1 gnome-session &
DISPLAY=:1 nautilus -n --sync &
#DISPLAY=:1 gnome-panel &
# DISPLAY=:1 setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout de -variant basic &
#echo "======= LOGOUT ============"
#killall Xgl
# Adding the line above,if you can't logout Gnome correctly.
|
Basically I removed the gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-panel lines, and launched gnome-session instead. |

I saw your post on the forum about this and have done more or less the same. I get an error when I start Xgl/Gnome now: "There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon." And the "gnome-session" window/image stays on top until I click on it and then it goes away.

Well I fixed the problem I was having where icons and everything were all distorted upon firing up Xgl. In case anyone else has this issue I fixed it by changing the default color depth in xorg.conf from '16' to '24'. Now I can login just fine and everything looks ok but I still don't have direct rendering. The only I can get direct rendering is if I use the old 'startx' script but when I use xgl glxinfo reports direct rendering is not enabled. Any ideas?

Hey everyone, here's a bizarre problem for you...
EDIT: Ok, bizarre, non-sensical lockups with gdm? Are you using the "Insectz" theme? Don't! Geez, I spent hours chasing shadows and the problems was the gdm them. Anyway, problem solved. |

|
|
Hey guys,
once xgl worked flawlessly for me....
now i decided to update it after some weeks of usage to fool a little around with the new effects and improvements, and everything still works...but damn slow. my normal xorg-x11 works well, using latest nvidia drivers and everything ~x86, gl apps are also fine in plain old xorg-x11. xgl itself is compiled from coffeebuzz stable xgl-trunk overlay. I also tried to switch to the testing overlay, but that didn't help. After that I tried to track my issue down and I can clearly see everything works fast as long as nothing renders to the root window (i.e. nautilus or xfdesktop for example). when i kill those processes everything gets superfluid. If a process renders to the root window, well it sucks down my machine. Is there any way to configure compiz to stop it rendering the root window or influencing the behaviour ?
this happens on my dell latitude c840 with it's uxga tft and geforce 4 go 440, which i know isn't the fastest thing on the market, but well it worked really fine at first.
Anybody seen the same ? Anybody with some hints ?

@KubaPET
well, "no news is good news" 
where from are you executing this command? try switching to another $DISPLAY with eg. Ctrl+Alt+F7

Hi,
I get this stupid error:
Xgl :1 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv
dlopen: /usr/local/lib/modules/xgl/libglx.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
stupid 1: why does it look into /usr/local?
stupid 2: even after a symlink to /usr/lib64/xorg/modules I get the same error
stupid 3: even after copying the whole directory, I get the same error.
I am pretty annoyed at the moment - installing a bazillion pounds of gnome crap to get hit by this.. any hints?

Is there any way to make windows start centered instead of top left like the majority of windows does for me? Looked for settings but can't find any.

|
|
I installed XGL on my KDE desktop yesterday and it worked nearly perfectly... one of the most annoying problems was that both Windows-Keys stopped working and could not be used for XGL control or other shortcuts.
The sollution for the problem is to skip the "-kb" parameter in the XGL server:
| /usr/kde/3.5/share/config/kdm/kdmrc: | | ServerCmd=/usr/bin/Xgl -br -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv |
This way the Keyboard Extension of X is still running.
I have still problems with Xine (the control panel is just random pixels), does someone know what I have to change to get Xine running ? |

If you mouse over the control buttons, and click on where the menu choices should be, they'll become visible again. I think this is part of the problem with almost all video apps which write to the root window -- and David Reveman is aware of this so there will be a fix at some point.
Also, if you run xine in a window (as opposed to fullscreen) and rotate the cube you'll find it on all desktops, not just the one you started it on. I've come across wierdness with MPlayer, VLC and Totem, but that particular "feature" seems to only happen with Xine. |

I agree with sternklang. There is not much you can do. But playing with the glx extensions in kdmrc (or however you start xgl) may improve video playback and the drawing of video applications. I had a discussion about that here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-455153-highlight-.html

Thanks very much for that information on the xv parameter, mutlu_inek! Adding "xv:pbuffer" to my startup line seriously increased video performance for fullscreen.  |

Hi,
I solved the problem, was an old Xgl in /usr/local/bin
now I only have to find out, why xgl/compiz is sooo slow
