similar to: XGL and Xorg confusion

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! 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, 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

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 all, I'm having trouble running windows games from Fedora 9, 64 bit, using wine rc3. I've tried Command & Conquer 3, Age Of Mythology and Jazz Jackrabbit 2. All games fail. I mostly get an error saying that direct3d9 won't work without opengl. However, I have opengl. I've run glxgears and it runs fine. Following is the output: 8877 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1775.333 FPS 9327

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

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

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

Hello, I'm on a Gentoo machine with the latest beta nVidia 9625 Drivers, trying to get Compiz to work with AIGLX... simply running 'compiz', or even with the addition of any options other than version, causes compiz to detect that it is indeed not XGL, and then segmentation faults... please note that I have only currently tried this with Compiz-Quinnstorm (the latest package available

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

Hi, I've revisited compiz on aiglx and at this point, if you're running rawhide (fedora development), it's a matter of installing the i386 RPM found here: http://people.redhat.com/krh/compiz/ There's a SRPM there too for other architectures, rebuild using rpmbuild --rebuild compiz-0.0.13.fedora1-3.src.rpm To run compiz, first start the gnome-window-decorator process in

-----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

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

I would like to get a better understanding as to why Quinn's patches have not been accepted into the compiz git tree. I feel Quinn's patches could greatly improve compiz. She has made quite a lot of progress wrt to enhancing compiz with her cgwd window decorator which allows users to write their own themes for window decorations. Also, many of the plugins that are in compiz.net are MIT

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

Hi David, --use-cow seems to be quite stable on all variations of tfp (xgl, aiglx, nvidia), I think it was the plan to default-enable it. Do you think it's ready for that?

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

Since I first tried nVidia's AIGLX with Compiz I've been seeing some pretty consistent drawing problems on GWD's minimize and maximize buttons on hover. It looks like part of the fill is drawn with low alpha. I haven't been able to duplicate it when using Xgl... Here's a quick vid of what I'm seeing:

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? (OpenGL 2.0?) How about cards
