similar to: FGLRX using Aiglx??

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 -

As posted few days ago by Vladimir, newer fglrx ATi proprietary drivers supports the Composite extension (also if it provides buggy rendering for some apps), that's why using the non-tftp rendering you could run Compiz in fglrx drivers too without loading Xgl. However the use-copy option makes compiz do some checks that the fglrx drivers don't pass (I don't know why, since the

Some weeks ago one of my friends asked me to port the "use-copy" (non-tfp) beryl's feature to Compiz since he wasn't able to run compiz (fusion) smoothly in his nvidia card with turbocache (these cards works well only using Xgl, otherwise they are affected by the [in]famous "Black Window Bug". That's obiouvsly an error that nVidia should fix, but in the latest

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

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

Currently, the cube plugin uses mipmapping only when cube is unfolded. When the cube is rotated, mipmaps are not used, which leads to ugly look of textures. The attached patch fixes this. This leads to another kind of artifacts, which are fixable with anisotropic filtering. http://team.pld-linux.org/~wolf/aniso.png The leftmost image is the current state of cube plugin. The center image is with

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

Hi all, I just uploaded new packages to openSUSE.org. If everything turns out well this package is the first to work out-of-the-box on - AIGLX: intel, radeon, ... - NVIDIA native - Xgl: intel, radeon(?), nvidia, fglrx, ... Especially Xgl is the only possibility for ATI proprietary driver users. Tested on Xgl, still works, AIGLX hasn't been verified yet, but the source changed only for

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 with the screen, keyboard and mouse. So you do need

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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I'm Trevi?o (AKA Trevinho, AKA 3v1n0, AKA trevi55 ;P) it's my first message here, also if I'm reading the ML from the archives since long time... I maintened a beryl-svn (then git) repository, and I'm planning to do the same as soon as I can for compiz-git (BTW, some pre-release packages are at http://tinyurl.com/396up9),

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

I'm using compiz compiled for feisty by trevino, on a mobility radeon x1600 using fglrx 8.38.6 over Xgl 7.2.0. I'm experiencing some problems with the blur: after a short time using compiz the blur over the windows (most noticeably the terminal) becomes a opaque gray. I really don't know how to debug this problem... :( I'll be happy to give any information you'll need

Hello, since I'm a KDE user I've found that the "--sm-disable". Doesn't work properly on KDE. In fact, also when I manually launch compiz using the "--sm-disable" flag, on next KDE resart KSMserver (KDE session manager, that in my system is configured to resume the previous session) tries to relaunch compiz with the parameters I used on previous session, and this

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

In Ubuntu 7.10 with KDE, I have compiz running under XGL. Although Beryl ran fine in Ubuntu 7.04, Compiz will not enable 3D effects such as wobbly windows. Other effects, such as minimize/restore animations, work properly. The machine is a Dell Inspiron 6400 / E1505 laptop, 2Ghz Intel DuoCore2, 2GB RAM, ATI X1400, 1680x1050 widescreen. What should I begin to troubleshoot? Thanks in advance.

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

So I had Portal (via Stream) on my laptop and it ran perfectly, but at some point, probably when I upgraded to Maverick, something changed. I tried running it again and I got the following.

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).
