 Posted: Thu Dec 14, 2006 6:54 pm Post subject: KDE: nicer ALT + Tabulator, without whole XGL possible? |
 |
|
Hi,
I have seen some screenshots of linux machines using xgl, and i find the alt-tab manager very nice.
i searched the internet to get something like this:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/images/thumb/3/31/T0maz_Xgl_24.png/750px-T0maz_Xgl_24.png
but I can't find any usefull.
Is there a way to install this tool without a whole XGL install??
(i don't w[/url]ont so much unstable packets on my system...)
any ideas??
greets from italy

Yes, if you have nVidia graphic card or make AIGLX working (requires newer X.org), you can have this too if you install and run Beryl. Search gentoo-wiki.com for more info.

You need to enable DRI. Append this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
| Quote: | Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection |

You do not have Composite enabled. Append the following lines to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
| Quote: | Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "true"
EndSection |

hi, thanks for your help.
mhhh.. now it works, but not as I want it to work.
the main problem is that scrolling (in firefox or file manager) is veerrrryyyy slow,
and the secont problem is that beryl has stolen my close window/minimize buttons _ X etc.
is there a way to get them back?
because i only want the tab switcher, with the other thinks i will play later on
this is wat i get after starting beryl:
| Code: | [13:52:25] max@laptop:~>libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b
kwin: Fatal IO error: client killed
XGL Absent, checking for NVIDIA
Nvidia Absent, assuming AIGLX
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b
beryl: No stencil buffer. Clipping of transformed windows is not going to be correct when screen is transformed.
No framebuffer_object support! (only simple blur aviable)
No fragment_program support! (only simple blur aviable)
No packed_depth_stencil support! (this may cause some artefacts in fbo mode)

This is caused by AIGLX itself. XGL and nVidia have better performance, but first is big and second is on nVidia cards only.
You can fix this a bit by unchecking smooth scrolling in configuration of Firefox and Konqueror.

There is a thing called Aquamarine, which is KWin decoration bindings to Beryl. It will restore your buttons, but it is currently very unstable however (it crashs a lot but there’s no problem in restarting it). Just try and see.

Well, you can try Kompose with Kompmgr (KWin shadows and transluency) and AIGLX. It does not require Beryl, but I think it is not what you want (and it will be slower too, but not so much).

These are warnings that something won’t run using hardware acceleration and therefore will be very slow.

Where is that option in Konqueror? I can find it only in Firefox.
