 |
|
Success! Thank's to Hanno's most recent overlay, and Kristian's latest patches, I'm able to use aiglx with compiz on gentoo! Yeah! You can use compiz from Hanno's overlay or you could use compiz-quinnstorm as well, by manually applying Kristian's compiz patches to the current xgl-coffee ebuilds.
An updated gentoo wiki article on getting compiz to work with aiglx can be found here:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_AIGLX
Detailed instructions for Hanno's overlay are here:
http://www.hboeck.de/item/338
Fyi, i'm using xorg-server-1.1.0-r2, mesa-6.5.1_pre20060620, libdrm-2.0.2_pre20060616 on an inspiron 1150 with a intel 852/855 gm card.....from hanno's overlay and a patched compiz-quinnstorm_0.0.13.3_p20060624 from xgl-coffee overlay
Good luck!
Ps...There is some bug with compiz --replace from hanno's overlay at the moment...I had to issue "killall kwin &" (for kde only) before calling the compiz command...After that all worked fine...

I know compiz is configured correctly because it loads fine under xgl... i've also enabled compiz's aiglx flag
Ubantu users have got it working so what could be the prob.? |
Turns all white?
Do you have DRI enabled in your xorg.conf? |

Yes I have DRI enabled, i think the problem is our outdated compiz-vanilla, compiz-quinnstorm ebuilds
After going through all of the possible iterations, of compiz-vanilla etc, it seems that I still can't get aiglx to work on gentoo...I tried to emerge compiz-vanilla with the aiglx use flag, and it failed, at the latest revision 174 with xgl-coffee....
Meanwhile ubantu users have been blogging left and right with their success stories on Intel 855 video cards....
This should interest gentoo users, because it seems aiglx actually plays videos and handles other operations without the delay that's often encountered with xgl....
But since it seems since everyone's distracted with xgl, no one cares to install aiglx...
The AIGLX wiki is more than a month old....
If you've got AIGLX working let us know so that we can gain more knowledge about how to do so.... |

Reydan : I've got the same problem as you. (and I have an ATI Radeon 9200)
Compiz on AIGLX used to work. But since Compiz 0.9.x, the AIGLX patch seems not to be maintained anymore (not in the xgl-coffee ebuilds, anyway).
Try with some older version of Compiz.
And don't forget to export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT="TRUE", before running Compiz.
Btw, I think it's a shame that only Xgl is maintained when Compiz on AIGLX runs better than on Xgl : no artifacts, xv and indirect glx acceleration... big memory usage though. |

| Does it work with an ATI Radeon X300?? I'm using propietary drivers because the open source didn't worked... If does AIGLX works, I would be very happy to try it out. Right now I'm using XGL+compiz without problems. |

AFAIK nvidia's and ati's proprietary drivers won't work on aiglx due to a required missing extention (texture_from_pixmap). I guess that's also the main reason why the aiglx ebuilds are not really maintained..

nVidia have said that there will be a new version of their drivers with the necessary extension - this will also make Xgl work much better, actually 
Hopefully they won't take too long to produce that.

|
|
So I've finally gotten AIGLX and compiz, to ALMOST work with an Intel 855 card....Using the latest xgl-coffee ebuilds of compiz-quinnstorm, the install-script and enabling aiglx as a use flag in /etc/make.conf, compiz works great...I get all of the shadows, wobbly effects, cube with only one exception: NO WINDOW DECORATIONS...
Other than that, it all works with no decorations but complains with the following if I try to run gnome-window-decorator...
The program 'gnome-window-decorator' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 568 error_code 8 request_code 152 minor_code 22
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Any hints? I'm thinking the problem may be due to xorg-server-p20060508 because everything seems to run perfectly fine under xgl...just slow...also if i run gnome-window-decorator from the command line with no compiz, it gives me the same error...
By the way....under aiglx compiz flies on this machine with no video problems... |

| The aiglx part of the xgl-coffee overlay aren't really maintained. CoffeeBuzz is busy so I am doing alot of the updates, and I have no idea on anything about AiGLX.. If you can point out some newer aiglx patches I can update the ebuilds. |

Here you'll find the xorg-server that the ubuntu users have been using in order to get their compiz with aiglx working....I don't know if these or how these are different from what's available in the xgl-overlay....this is supposedly specific to aiglx....gandalfn from ubuntuforums.org is the person who has made the patchset...

I'm interested in trying this out too. I've got XGL working on an i845G card, but from what I gather, it runs a lot better with aiglx.
I've updated all the cvs ebuilds to today's date ( 20060525 ) and built everything, including xorg-server-1.1.0 ... which has aiglx enabled by default. From here, I should just be able to start X and start compiz, right?
When I do, I get the error:
| Code: | | GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing |
and compiz won't start.
If I run compiz with:
| Code: | | LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace gconf & |
it starts, but the screen turns white and stays that way.
That's as far as I've got. Anyone who's gotten further, stand and deliver

Unpack the sources archive (latest is xorg-air_1.1.0-0ubuntu1.tar.gz atm), and you'll find the patches in the xorg-air-1.1.0/debian/patches directory. I've not tried them though, just noticed they were there. |

They were pointed out to me in a private message. Thanks though..
For all of you aiglx users, I am sorry but you will have to deal with not having aiglx support in the xgl-coffee overlay for a while. I have some other things to do in regards to updating it to the X.org 7.1 release which should eliminate the need for the xorg-server patches (unless I am wrong here) as it can be enabled with --enable-aiglx.
Hopefully it will be support soon, but as I said, I have other things to do, including my own life and E-Mission stuff. |

Succeess! Thank's to Hanno's most recent overlay, I'm able to use aiglx with compiz on gentoo! Yeah! Only drawback is that I can't use compiz-quinnstorm's cool plug-ins for the time being....
Go to this page....this will give you the instructions needed to get going...
http://www.hboeck.de/item/338
Fyi, i'm using xorg-server-1.1.0-r2, compiz-0.0.16_pre20060621, mesa-6.5.1_pre20060620, libdrm-2.0.2_pre20060616 on an inspiron 1150 with a intel 852/855 gm card.....
Good luck!
Ps...There is some bug with compiz --replace at the moment...I had to issue "killall kwin &" (for kde only) before calling the compiz command...After that all worked fine... |

I also got it working thanks to the above overlay!
I added a few more instructions here: http://www.mindstab.net/wordpress/archives/108
I do have the following bus and was wondering who to talk to about fixing them?
* Quake3 has black flashes once or twice a second. it's like blinking lots.
* totem stays black when playing movies, and xine has a cross hatched grid
* sometimes dialogs don't paint themselves and appears as an empty window but respond to click events it the appropriate locations.
* drop shadows aren't appearing for me
Maybe I just need to update some other package? or maybe I need to file a bug somewhere. Any ideas? But a massive thanks to Hanno for the overlay 
I got so many 'wow's from people at school in the last two day's it's been awesome. |

| Well, to get movies working in totem under compiz it turns out all you have to do is go into Desktop->preferences->multimedia system selector->video and set the output plugin to "XWindow (no Xv)" and it works! |

Well by adding the following patches to the compiz-quinnstorm ebuild, I was able to get compiz-quinnstorm working with AIGLX and hanno's overlay on an intel 855 gm card
File: compiz-quinnstorm-0.0.13.3_p20060624.ebuild
add the following lines to src_unpack section (Taken from "Adding a patch" at
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Create_an_Updated_Ebuild#Making_the_Updated_Ebuild:)
epatch "${FILESDIR}/compiz-0.0.13.fedora1-fbconfig-depth-fix.patch"
epatch "${FILESDIR}/compiz-0.0.13.fedora1-gl-include-inferiors.patch"
epatch "${FILESDIR}/compiz-0.0.13.fedora1-hardcode-fullscreen-updates.patch"
epatch "${FILESDIR}/compiz-0.0.13.fedora1-new-cm-selection.patch"
Place the patches in the compiz-quinnstorm/files directory.
Run ebuild compiz-quinnstorm-0.0.13.3_p20060624.ebuild digest and re-emerge.
If you are really ambitious, you can try getting xorg-server from xgl-coffee working by adding the following patches to the xorg-server ebuild. After you've applied patches to both xorg-server and compiz-quinnstorm, the xgl-coffee overlay for aiglx should then work just as well as using hanno's overlay
Add the following red lines to the patches section
ex:
file: xorg-server-1.1.0-r1.ebuild
PATCHES="${FILESDIR}/${PN}-1.0.2-xprint-init.patch
${FILESDIR}/1.0.99.901-Xprint-xprintdir.patch
${FILESDIR}/xorg-x11-server-1.1.0-convolution-filter-fix.patch
${FILESDIR}/xorg-x11-server-1.1.0-tfp-damage.patch
${FILESDIR}/xorg-x11-server-1.1.0-gl-include-inferiors.patch"
Then place the patches in the xorg-server/ files directory. Run "ebuild xorg-server-1.1.0-r1.ebuild digest" That should be all, and re-emerge. Make sure the line MESA_SRC_P="${MESA_PN}Lib-${MESA_PV}" is uncommented.
All patches are found here:
