...sktops (without xinerama). I've got 2 xorg.conf files, one for propietary ATI (fglrx) driver, and other to use the open source driver. The difference is very notorious. The problem I have is that I read (Saint Google) that to work with compiz/beryl and dual-head configuration, I need to install XGL. That is why I wrote this message. Has anyone been installed XGL under Centos 6 using dual-head configuration and fglrx driver? Does anyone know links to tutorials/repositoris that I can use to install XGL? Does anyone know information on How-to configure XGL to allow the dual-head configuration...

Hi, As there has been some confusion over Xgl and Xorg here, I thought I'd just post this. XGL acts as a client to the Xserver and acts as a server for all programs connecting to itself. Instead of displaying its results on a monitor, it interprets the display and calls the appropriate OpenGL APIs; the OpenGL driver physically interacts wi...

Looking deeper to compiz/xgl I found three problems in my system that I report to you hoping to be somehow a little useful. I didn't find any of them using Xorg 7 First my testing environment: KDE 3.5 latest XGL cvs - XORG-7.0 Nvidia FX5200 64Mb Latest nvidia drivers Kernel 2.6.16.1 XGL problems: 1) xine is somehow bro...

Hello, I'm new to the list but I've been following it since its inception. First of all sorry for the length of this post, if you're not a Fedora user just skip it. I've been building Compiz packages since Fedora Core 5 came out (Xgl only) and updating since then with all the new stuff, AIGLX and whatever. I use them on a very large range of hardware. Attached are my source rpm packages built with "NoSource" in the spec file to make them smaller as I don't have a webspace to host them, to get the sources just loo...

Hello. I know this is off topic but sorry I cannot google out where xgl people discuss things (don't find an xgl mailing list) nor documents about this. Currently xgl supports modern ATI/Nvidia cards, is there any reason why older cards are not supported? Is it because old cards are not powerful enough, or is it because xgl is using some new 3D technologies? (Open...

I have a Dell Inspiron with the ATI x1400 video card. In Ubuntu 7.04 I ran Compiz-Fusion in XGL with the fglrx drivers and the system was very responsive. I noticed no performance penalties at all. In Ubuntu 8.04 I am running Compiz natively with the current fglrx drivers, and the system is sluggish. Disabling Compiz makes the system very responsive. So I am interested in running Compiz in XG...

...onfigure Compiz in Gnome, but I'm not about to switch to Gnome. I hope that someone here can help me translate the scripts used in the tutorial to start KDE instead of Gnome. I myself have been unable to do so, after a good day googling the subject.

I've been avidly updating mesa, xgl, and compiz, every week (from the portage-xgl overlay) hoping to solve some of these problems: * Using ati-drivers-8.29.6 xgl crashes complaining about lacking dri, so i'm using 8.27.10. * Using 2.6.18 kernels, the ati-drivers-8.27.10 don't compile when building the drm module. * My laptop...

Hi, In the past I've found that using the glitz backend to Cairo with Xorg made some simple animation tests I wrote go much faster. I haven't yet tried them with Xgl but I was wondering which backend is theoretically 'best' in this configuration? My understanding is that Xgl feeds everything drawn to the screen via OpenGL - a bit like Quartz 2D Extreme will when Apple get it stable enough to enable by default. So the paths would look like: app -&gt...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everybody, Those who are active in #Xgl on freenode know that I've had segfaults when starting Xgl during the last few weeks (which is also why there was no progress on my g-w-d rewrite). Today I found the time to debug Xgl and to find the bug. My mouse was configured as evdev device in xorg.conf, and to use it, it was set as the cor...

Hi all, have anybody already heard about Xgl? Do you know if there are rpm's for it? thx Nick -- Nicholas Anderson Administrador de Sistemas Unix LPIC-1 Certified Rede Fiocruz

...though it _appears_ to be working fine. I randomly guess that this is due to me running out of video memory (iirc I have 64mb of vram). Is that possibly a problem? I think Vista and OS X manually manage video memory so textures can be swapped out to system memory and even disk. Does XGL do this? The errors don't seem to have any effect, at least, I see no obvious screen corruption. 2) The Vista guys seem to think that being able to pre-empt GPU processing is important. Does XGL support this? I am guessing maybe not ... it doesn't seem to matter though, ev...

As promised awhile ago... This patch makes compiz conformant with the latest published version of the GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap specification. It has been tested to be fully backwards compatible as well, so it will still work with current versions of Xgl. If GLX 1.3 support isn't available, it just falls back to the existing use of XVisualInfo. However, my version of Xgl is a bit dated. Someone might want to test with the latest bits before commiting. Support for Y-Inverted framebuffers is added if GLX 1.3 is present. Hopefully this ca...

hi, I am using xgl on opensuse-10.2 with the latest driver from nvidia. I generally works fine. The only issues is fullscreen xvideo. The way the xvideo extension is implemented causes high cpu load in the opengl driver. CPU: AMD64 processors, speed 1800.21 MHz (estimated) Counted CPU_CLK_UNHALTED events (Cycl...

Latest amd/ati drivers (8.37|8.38) supports composite with dri. So, after patching beryl (cause he can work without tfp) to make it use direct rendering on "aiglx method" and removed check for GLX_SGIX_fbconfig, which fails. - I was able to run beryl on fglrx WITHOUT Xgl. Only bug with windows drawing exists(as noticed in latest known issues for ati drives), more about this bug - http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=725 So developers, pleeease, add --use-copy method to compiz, even not to git, at least as a patch. So after amd/ati will fix bug with composite (I so...

...ack boxes where other window are below the video window. Is there any solution to this problem or am I the only one experiencing this? I start compiz with LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set to 1 for it to recognize AIGLX' GLX_EXT_tfp, but this is another issue... Would the problem go away if I'd use Xgl? Is Xgl even supported on Intel graphics cards and is Xgl's Xvideo acceleration still based on fragment shaders?

Hi! AFAIK FGLRX doesnt support glx_ext_texture_from_pixmap, and enabling composite+dri is resulting in screen corruption even with 8.38.6. Then how are you guys running it without XGL?

Hello, first of all I would like to thank everyone for the effort put into the project. I have found a quite peculiar behavior when using Xgl/compiz. Sometimes my windows disappear, if i use ctrl+alt+shift+left/right i can end up in an empty desktop and if I keep holding ctrl+alt+shift and move back to the previous workspace the window moves back just as if it had been moved previously. Also, if I move between workspaces applications can...
