Did you add it to /apps/compiz/plugins/state/screen0/options/viewport? |
I was wrong.
It actually opens in Viewport 1, but only a thin thin line of it (less than 1%) is actually on viewport 1... all the rest hangs onto Viewport 2.
Is this something in KDE remembering where it was when it was shutdown for the first time? How could I change this? |
Have you tried adjusting this setting and see if that helps
/apps/compiz/plugins/place/screen0/options/workarounds |
Solved. Thanks!!
Any ideas on my dual-head dilemma by chance?

Its .OLD because its, well ... old! I haven't used it or tested it in a long time. If you want to do some testing on it go nuts and let me know if it still works or what needs updating. It would be nice again to have a generic install script for Xgl.

|
|
Hi,
I've got my wonderful Compiz-Desktop working:
I'm using gdm and the Xsession-method taken from http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_XGL#Via_xsession [ATI und Intel (using KDE)].
While having my beautiful session my pstree output looks like:
|-gdm---gdm-+-X
| `-startxgl.sh-+-Xgl
| |-ssh-agent
| `-startkde---kwrapper
But after finishing my KDE-Session, gdm and every graphical interface are gone away without a word or sound. I'm left within my console.
Any hints?
Thank you!

I have tackled that problem for awhile
it seems that xsession method works great
for Gnome but not for KDE. I have posted this
problem in a couple of forums and it appears that
using GDM, there is not a solution to get KDE
to bow out gracefully.
If you find a solution please let us know and add it to
the WIKI.

*** Attention Compiz-Quinnstorm Users ***
As you may or may not know, Quinnstorm decided to move the plugins to a compiz-plugins module on her cvs repository. Thus I am forced to make a new package, compiz-quinnstorm-plugins. In order for the dependencies to be correct, I've had to make a compiz-quinnstorm-meta package. This package will pull the 2 real compiz packages in order. I am debating to make a cgwd USE flag so that it pulls in the cgwd packages too.
Please give me your feedback and I hope everything works out ok. |

I think that a meta package isn't neccessary. As far as I remember the vmware-server ebuild depends on vmware-modules, but they have to be built AFTER vmware-server and they somehow managed it to get the ebuild do that.
Maybe you want to take a look at those ebuilds. There is not dependancy on vmware-modules in the vmware-server ebuild, but equery d vmware-modules gives vmware-server as a result. This must be done in vmware.eclass / or vmware-mod.eclass, because there is no dependancy information in the ebuilds that links those two packages.

I think there is RDEPEND (runtime dependecies) which can be used for this, they are pulled after the requested ebuild is emerged. |

There is no RDEPEND on vmware-modules in the vmware-server ebuild. Furthermore IMHO RDEPEND doesn't change the build order - or does it ? |

There is no RDEPEND on vmware-modules in the vmware-server ebuild. Furthermore IMHO RDEPEND means runtime dependancy - it doesn't change build order - The RDEPEND packages are needed at runtime - DEPEND packages can be removed after the package has been built becaus they are no runtime dependancy ( e.g. by using emerge --depclean; e.g. emerge wine, emerge --depclean removes fontforge because its no runtime dep; but it doesn't change emerge order ). |
So it wan't help, thanks for info. |

| RDEPEND is Runtime Dependencies anyways isn't it? Or is it Reverse Dependencies? I really don't know and I always get confused. So if that's the case I will fix it. |

I have Xgl/compiz-quinnstorm/cgwd now running with TwinView...
... my one remaining problem is that when I start mplayer from the command line, it occasionally fades in and out, in and out... seemingly a side-effect of the out-of-focus fading?
Is there a solution to this?
If not, how would I turn off the fading effect altogether? |

Hi hi! Yeah... I figured as much.
I am however, even after some looking around, altogether ignorant as to how I would do that... I see where I can probably adjust fading settings... but where/how do I remove it? |

navigate in gconf-editor:
apps->compiz->general->allscreens->active_plugins |

| The current vmware-server ebuild isn't a source of information anymore, because it now builts in normal order. I will check the bugzilla and come up if I find anything to build plugins after compiz without meta package. |

think you can add some download locations for the new compiz-quinnstorm-plugins? It's not on distfiles.xgl-coffee.org, that's also missing the latest compiz-quinnstorm as well. |

just checked it, that patch is for the plugins/ directory makefile, which is moved to compiz-quinnstorm-plugins now, should be safe to comment out. |
