similar to: No 3D in KDE, other effects work

I just installed Compiz on Ubuntu Feisty (Gutsy does not work on my hardware as per the release notes) via the http://ppa.launchpad.net/amaranth/ubuntu repo, which is the repo suggested in the compiz-fusion website. The machine is a Dell Inspiron E1505 / 6400 with the horrible ATI X1400 graphics card and 1680x1050 monitor. I installed XGL and the proprietary ATI driver, a combination that worked

On a Dell Inspiron E1505 / 6400 with the ATI x1400 video card running the fglrx driver on Kubuntu 8.04, I have some video problems while running Compiz. I am not using XGL, in fact, I removed it from the system as it was causing performance issues. The symptoms I describe here were present before removing XGL, as well as after. The test applet on java.com flashes (as if it disappears between

I have had a rather hard time enabling Compiz on my Dell laptop, as it has an ATI X1400 video card. I found a tutorial which helped me configure 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. These are

You might have hear this before. I just came across it today. from http://blog.beryl-project.org/ "I am running your svn and have noticed this non-tfp Beryl, what is this? It is exactly what it sounds like, an early attempt (with some success I might add) to make Beryl run without the need for texture_from_pixmap. No more black window bug from nvidia, no more Xgl, no more AIGLX. Oh

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 XGL

I have installed Compiz-Fusion on several Ubuntu machines, all different hardware, with KDE. In all of them, the option to shutdown or reset the computer is absent from the KDE logout buttons when running Compiz-Fusion. I have searched google and see that others have this problem, but I do not see a solution. Is there a known solution to this condition? Thanks in advance. Dotan Cohen

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hiho, I already reported this in <455F4553.9020109@tommie-lie.de> and found time to reinstall compiz yesterday and the problem still persists. I have Ubuntu's X.org 7.1.1 running on a Intel GMA 950 and latest compiz. When watching Xvideo files, the overlay window remains black. If I slightly move the video window, the video appears with

About a month ago, David made a commit to wobbly to the spring engine which has introduced some bugs. They are hard to explain so bear with me. In a sense, the wobbly plugin does not seem as smooth as it used to be and the windows jerk all over the place. For example, I sometimes notice that when I move a large window (around 2/3 of the size of the desktop window), If I moved it down, the top of

Hi All! First off, thanks to everybody working on compiz, xgl, aiglx, etc. In recent versions of compiz and Xgl (from the quinn and reggaemanu repositoried) I have lost all window decorations. I have tried all combinations of plugins and still can't get them to show. I have the cube working fine as well as wobbly windows. Is there any way I can debug this problem without resorting to

AMD is dropping support for the R300-R500 cards in their official drivers: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_r500_legacy&num=1 As the current open source drivers do not support 3D, I'd like to know which Compiz effects use 3D and which use 2D. Thanks. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il

Hi again. I've got a laptop with an ATI X600 inside, perfectly working xorg with dual head configuration, 2 desktops (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

Listmates, I installed 8.2 on opensuse 10.3 from the opensuse XGL repository to replace 7.6. Compiz works with the nvidia 8600 GT card (512M of GDDR3) on the box, but the ctrl+alt <- -> switching behavior is really bad. In 7.6, the ctrl+alt <- -> desktop switching changed desktops crisply with just the slightest hint of the cube detected during the very short and nice switch.

Hi I just tried out the new 0.1.0 release of beryl. Generally I do like the compiz fdo version, because I like the gconf integration and the metacity theme support in gwd. Also I think their configuration system is a complete mess, this beryl settings manager is completly bloated in my opinion. Anyway, I noticed they have quite a lot of plugins. While I found most of them nothing special, the

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 -

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?

Hi, I'm having some very nasty problem. Wine works perfectly with normal applications, but when I try to open a game, it does something like this : http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/401/img1388tj7.jpg I have an ATI Mobility X1400 video card with driver version 8.522 (fglrx) I have 3D acceleration on as compiz does work. Wine does this with compiz on/off so it's not because of it. If

Hi, Using Xgl, when a window is unminimized, sometimes (especially with Firefox), the window contents are not immediately visible (partially or completely) until an unminimize animation is completed. That is, sometimes there are empty (transparent) rectangles within the window (maybe corresponding to some Mozilla controls), and sometimes the whole window is empty (only the decoration is visible).

Dear Dotan, The problem of flashing/flickering in 3D apps/ videos with Xv enabled on account of non-redirection is limited to AIGLX and not an issue at all with XGL and compiz. fglrx till date has many mem leaks and crappy 3d performance on linux especially with compiz enabled. If you want to use these apps with compiz, for now use XGL. Else just disable compiz temporarily when

I have downloaded compiz-0.2.0 and tried to compile it. The INSTALL file talks about autgen.sh, but I am unable to locate it. I tried ./configure but it complains about a number of missing packages. Is there any docs on how to compile compiz on SLED 10 ? I have searched in a lot of places, but have not been able to dig up anything. A detailed list of what packages is required (and where to locate
