The problem  that i am dealing with has to do with the inability to switch ttys using alt+ctrl+(F1-F12). While in my desktop pc i can use the key combinations and switch ttys, from my laptop configuration i cannot. Is anyone dealing with it?? It is very strange because i did the same setup on both machines using gdm and the wiki instructions.
Also, from my laptop i cannot start a new X server (using xinit) from within the XGL one. For my desktop, no problem again, xinit works great and i can launch any games or other opengl stuff that has problems with XGL.
Are there any advice for these things?
I'm using compiz-vanilla.

Never mind, problem solved, actually it was a buggy emergence of x11-misc/xkeyboard-config.
x11-misc/xkbdata is not needed after all. I did:
| Code: | rm -R /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb
rm -R /usr/share/X11/xkb
emerge xkeyboard-config |
And i can switch ttys now.
Thnx. |

Sometimes when I click on a window, the focus is passed to a window beneath it, and not to the window itself. Is this intentional or a bug? Is there a way to tweak this?
Thank you in advance for the help!

Ok, this problem just came back for me. Sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesn't. Does anyone else have this problem? |

I have the same problem. This did not help.
I didn't have anything in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11, but I removed the files from /usr/share/X11/xkb, and re-emerged xkeyboard-config. Still cannot switch TTYs in modular xorg 7.0 (using Xgl or not).
I think this goes back to me mistakenly emerging xkbdata and then commiting all of the config changes (100+ of them) with etc-update. I can't remember where those changes went, of course.
Any hints? |

I also have a problem with compiz.

I run fglrx on a ATI Mobility Xpress 200M. Haven't seen this error anywhere on gentoo forums, only in Google searches relating to ubuntu. Am I missing something in my xorg.conf? I use ati-drivers-8.23.7, as for some reason the ~x86 drivers 8.24.8 will not work with DRI. I run at 24 bit color depth.
Thanks for any help. |

Hello everyone...
It took me a very long time to get Xgl working with gdm, but I've run into trouble after emerging the latest ati-drivers...
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Here's what happens:
1)If xdm is configured to start at the default runlevel (with rc-update add) then all I get is an X screen with the hourglass icon for about 10-20 seconds. X immediately restarts after that and the same behaviour is repeated over and over again
2)If I stop xdm (or use rc-update del to remove it from the default runlevel) I am able to get it to work by doing the following: I manually start Xgl using the following script:
| Code: |
Xgl :1 -br -kb -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:pbuffer -fullscreen &
|
and immediately after that: | Code: |
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib DISPLAY=:1 compiz --replace gconf &
DISPLAY=:1 gnome-window-decorator &
DISPLAY=:1 startkde
|
This starts Xgl/compiz successfully. I then EXIT Xgl (ctrl+alt+backspace) and run /etc/init.d/xdm start. This time gdm/xgl/compiz start successfully.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
It seems like gdm will start provided Xgl has been manually started at least once before the /etc/init.d/xdm script is run.
I have kept logs from both case 1 and 2 mentioned above... Here's a diff:
| Code: |

I can't figure out what might be going wrong here... I've searched the forums/net and found that this font thing is to be considered trivial... Does the "removed 1 reserved context for kernel" message make any difference? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
George |

I just figured I would try the testing overlay and see if it fixes the focus problem. After compiling all I get now is a white screen! So a warning: DO NOT USE TESTING, it has problems.
Then I tried going back to the xgl-coffee overlay and followed the wiki step by step. Now I have the same problem. I have my cube, multiple desktops but nothing else. Everything is white. There are slight lines where my programs are but everything is white.
What could have gone wrong? |

Hm...
In fact right now i only got x11-misc/xkeyboard-config installed:
| Code: | hydra birbilakos # emerge -va x11-misc/xkbdata x11-misc/xkeyboard-config
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[blocks B ] x11-misc/xkeyboard-config (is blocking x11-misc/xkbdata-1.0.1)
[ebuild N ] x11-misc/xkbdata-1.0.1 USE="-debug" 0 kB
[ebuild R ] x11-misc/xkeyboard-config-0.8 0 kB
Total size of downloads: 0 kB |
Try removing xkbdata and emerging xkeyboard-config.
Also, i think its xkeyboard-config that causes so many etc-update confs...
I too etc-updated all of the with no problem  |

I'm using an nvidia card.
Well, I see everything when it is loading. It seems to go white as soon as it loads gnome-window-decorator. Which package is gnome-window decorator in? Maybe if I recompile it it will work.

Tried that, no effect.
Somehow, though, Xorg still starts without either xkbdata or xkeyboard-config installed. Isn't that fishy?
My xorg.conf keyboard section:
| Code: |
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "xkblayout" "us"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
# For most OSs the protocol can be omitted (it defaults to "Standard").
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin"
# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
|
Perhaps I should try using evdev as my keyboard driver? Or will that lead to more problems? |

I have a question about the wiki:
It tells me to put things in package.keywords but it seems there are two options for libwnck.
It already has ">=x11-libs/libwnck-2.14 ~x86" and then it tells me to add "x11-libs/libwnck" if im using quinnstorm. So I should have both entries in that case?
EDIT: Ok, if im in X and try to run it in a window I get this error:
| Code: | xamindar@lain ~ $ Xgl :2 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv
_XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/lain:2
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6
X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
Major opcode of failed request: 148 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 2 (X_GLXRenderLarge)
Serial number of failed request: 89

I updated xgl-testing a few hours ago [195], with the install script.
It hanged on cairo, problems with pdf2ps, then i continued installing with emerge world -uDpv.
I got some problems that in part solved during the upgrade [white desktop, compiz couldn't start for GLX error] ... only gnome-window-decorator now does strange things ... if i start it @ login, it crash for some pango deps [color ...] but if i start it from console with strace [strace gnome-window-decorator &] ... it works ...
also i got a segfault with gset-compiz as user, instead as root works ...

Ok, it looks like we have similar problems. Is the latest update the cause? |

Hmm. I haven't heard about this white desktop problem. Especially since I am using compiz-quinnstorm from the latest revision..
Can you please post your GLX error and the pango dep errors?
Gset-compiz is probably oudated and that might be why. I am not sure on that as I don't use it and haven't looked for any updates to it.
Hopefully your error messages will provide enough information for me to give you a solution.

i just upgraded to xgl-testing 196
all is working great except it tried to downgrade my glproto to 1.4.6 from 1.4.7
so i notice glproto is no longer included in xgl-testing but 1.4.7 is now in portage
so i did a emerge --sync and all went well
I am not seeing the errors you guy's are getting

Gosh this is soo anoying! I have recompiled EVERYTHING I can think of and still no change. Could there be something wrong with the script I use to load compiz?
| Code: | lain scripts # more usecompiz.sh
#!/bin/bash
#
#
#
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ compiz --replace gconf &
sleep 2
gnome-window-decorator &
|
That is run every time I enter gnome and until I goofed with xgl-testing it is what works. Could this be the cause?
It's so strange. My programs start, I can move them around and they jiggle. It's just that they are all white, no title, no nothing, just white rectangles.  |

just a thought but what version of glproto are you using
if i remember correctly since compiz-quinnstorm rev 10.7 glproto had to be 1.4.7
if compiling XGL/Compiz ourselves
xgl-testing rev 195 and 196 are using compiz-quinnstorm rev 10.14

Try this:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
if [ `ps -A | grep Xgl | wc -l` == "1" ]; then
compiz --replace gconf &
gnome-window-decorator &
fi
exit 0; |
Add that to /bin/compizrc, add compizrc to your gnome session.
Copy /bin/startx to /bin/startxgl. Edit /bin/startxgl. In the final few lines, there should be a part that says /usr/bin/X, change it to /usr/bin/Xgl. Then chmod 755 /bin/startxgl and run startxgl. |

I upgrade recently and now I've got issues with too many things going woobly, or getting the wrong effect, I get menus doing a similar thing to the windows when I maximize them.
I want to make my menus go back to the way they were before, any ideas, I couldn't find the right setting in gconf-editor.
Also any news of getting a better config app in the overaly?

That script seems to work the same as my other one. White screen.
I can't find /usr/bin/X in startx, doesn't it call another script for launching X? But I use gdm to launch my xserver anyway so here is what I have in my gdm.conf file:
| Code: | [servers]
0=Xgl
[server-Xgl]
name=Xgl
command=/usr/bin/Xgl -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv
flexible=true
chooser=false
handled=true
priority=0
[server-Terminal]
name=Terminal server
command=/usr/bin/X -audit 0 -terminate
flexible=false
handled=false
[server-Chooser]
name=Chooser server
command=/usr/bin/X -audit 0
flexible=false
chooser=true

Cairo 1.1.6 problems can be solved reading this
For white windows' plague try re-emerging xgl-0.0.1_p20060508
gnome-window-decorator dies with :
Pango-CRITICAL **: pango_color_parse: assertion `spec != NULL' failed

I want to make my menus go back to the way they were before, any ideas, I couldn't find the right setting in gconf-editor.
Also any news of getting a better config app in the overaly? |
wobbly instructions say this, so i guess do the reverse to turn off wobbly menu's
Enable Wobbly Menus
To make menus wobble, set the map_effect key to Shiver. Also ensure that Unknown is included in the map_window_types key. Note: If zooming menus is currently enabled, it will take priority over this option.
