similar to: Beryl and Compiz Merge: What's actually going on?

Adding new options to a plugin is a pain. There is a lot of code that has allways to be changed for that. This is the reason why I've created the Beryl/Compiz XML options parser (bcop). Bcop allows you easily to describe options in XML and will autogenerate the needed Beryl/Compiz C code for you. The only think that needs to be changed in a existing plugins is to include the xxx_options.h

I'd like to get all of you updated on the compiz related things discussed at the X developer conference that was held last week. The slides I used for my talk are available from here: http://people.freedesktop.org/~davidr/xdevconf07/ and you can also find some notes from all talks here: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/XDC2007Notes My talk was mainly focused on "what's next" and how

After several weeks of discussion the leaders of Compiz and Beryl have agreed that the two communities shall reunite. This decision is supported by both David and Quinn and represents the majority decision of the administrators and developers in each community. At this early stage not a lot has been decided, but these are the main points of the agreement: - As had previously been decided,

Hello Community Congratulations everyone for the reunification. To kick off the process, shall we finalize channels we are going to use for communication so that all the developers involved know what is going on and where. Which ML and IRC would be used for 'semi-official' communication etc. 1. Danny, Quinn and Marex have already started working on compiz-plugins-beryl-premerge tree on

I've seen that a lot of inaccurate and faulty information about this. All technical reasons (alternative configuration system, alternative decorator, xinerama...) for this fork are incorrect and I know that at least Quinn Storm is aware of this, based on a phone conversation we had last week. I've designed compiz to be extremely extensible. The plugin system should allow people to do

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

This was a private mail and not supposed to go to the compiz list. Please don't don't read it unless you're on the compiz admin list. :) I've apologized to Jeff, Mike, Rico and Arturo for making this mistake and I'd like to apologize to anyone else who might have been offended by it. I guess the good part is that you get an uncensored view of what we feel about the community

Greetings everybody! I was asked by someone (from the beryl-forum) if/how one could alter the values for the two color-stops used by the fallback-gradient of the skydome (for the case the supplied image could not be found). Up to now they were hardcoded, but with this patch they can be set via... /apps/compiz/plugins/cube/screen0/options/skydome_gradient_start_color

Hi, I have added compiz support to aquamarine. You can download it directly from beryl svn: svn co svn://svn.beryl-project.org/beryl/trunk/aquamarine/ To install: ./autogen.sh ./configure --enable-debug=full ./make ./sudo make install You can use kcontrol to set the decoration and decoration specific settings. You can post bugs to the beryl bugtracker at http://bugs.beryl-project.org . Please

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

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

Hi, Recently i have worked on re-writing beryl's transparent cube, and ported 3d plugin to compiz. I'm attaching a patchset here that includes the transparent cube patches (i'll post the 3d plugin when i fix some problems that didn't happen in beryl). Patching order: btf-ftb.patch, clip-planes.patch, plugin-events.patch, cube-paint-order.patch, transparent-cube.patch. Special

Hello, this patch adds support for real transparency to kdesktop. It adds two new composite manager related features. To activate the features kdesktop has to be started with the "--bg-transparency" option. The first one allows you to change the opacity of the background image. This works currently with the beryl transparent cube and will also work with compiz once the transparent

As some e-mails ago, I'm trying to play beryl in my laptop. I successfully configured my xorg.conf (thanks to the comunity for the help that allowed me that). The problem: When I boot the laptop without external LCD/CRT, beryl is working fine, but when I boot it with the external, it recognice fine the external LCD and don't want to allow beryl run. What beryl says: === BEGIN === $

Greetings ! Here are the minutes of today's Compiz Conference Call. The next one will take place next week, time and date aren't frozen yet, we'll keep you up to date about this. Feel free to comment and stack new questions for next week.

I've been informed by freenode staff that in order to claim #compiz and #compiz-dev (both are apparently leftovers from beryl) we need to fill out a group registration and have a group contact. I'd be willing to handle all that, just thought I should ask here first to see if everyone was ok with it. Thoughts? -- Travis Watkins http://www.realistanew.com

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

Greetings everybody! For about two weeks I'm now a happy owner of an intel-powered laptop (chipset, wifi, gfx) and wanted to give it a full test-drive of compiz and other GL-intensive programs. The laptop runs Xorg 7.1.1 and the i810 driver that comes with it (stock rpm from FC6). I'm forced to start compiz 0.3.4 with these options... --use-cow --strict-binding --indirect-rendering
