[Solved] Compiz runs from GDM but not from startx

[ksool]

Hey all, so I manged to get compiz running through gdm, and thats all fine and good, but I wanted to be able to straight X sometimes in case I either messed up Xgl or just didn't want to bother with things wobbeling.

I know there's someway to do this through GDM, but I've never really needed it anyway, so I figured I'd switch to startx and startxgl.

to make my startxgl script, I just copied startx and switched the line that calls x to fit the command line from my gdm that launched the Xgl server.

startx works fine, just like I'd hope it would. (Oddly though, with nothing in my xinitrc, X crases instead of going to that base X display.)

when I run startxgl, it also loads fine (DRI doesn't work though, works in X) and then when I run my compiz script, I get the following output:

[ksool]

Solved.
needed to change the compiz launch command to "dbus-launch compiz"
