My main problem is that xgl wont work at all with all other users besides root. Normal x server works fine. But if I try and load xgl it says something about not being able to use a certain port because another x session could possibly be running. If I try and run xgl before ever starting any other x implementation it loads and works, however there is no window manager.(no bar across the tops of apps, no moving them, etc) Any ideas?

My second problem is that gnome_session wont load correctly. Right now I have my xgl scipt set to load gnome_panel instead but this causes problems when trying to log off, etc. When I try and load gnome_session the splash screen wont go away because its trying to load an inifinite number of things. (I can see this from the icons on the splash image)


If xgl spits out a log and ill copy you the information but I havent been able to find the log. Heres my startxgl script. Its 99% based off of the Gentoo XGL wiki entry


#!/bin/bash
echo ">Starting XGL at Display: $1"
echo "========= XGL ============"
Xgl :$1 -ac -accel xv -accel glx:pbuffer &
sleep 5
echo "======= COMPIZ ==========="
DISPLAY=:$1 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ compiz --replace gconf &
sleep 5
echo "====== DECORATIONS ======="
DISPLAY=:$1 gnome-window-decorator &
# sleep 3
echo "======= GNOME ============"
DISPLAY=:$1 /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon &
DISPLAY=:$1 nautilus -n --sync &
DISPLAY=:$1 gnome-panel &
# DISPLAY=:$1 setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout de -variant basic &
#echo "======= LOGOUT ============"
#killall Xgl
# Uncomment the line above if you can't logout from Gnome correctly.
