For the last few weeks I've been fiddling with the 0.8 code-base, mostly because compiz got nuked in my distro and I had to do something, if for no other reason than to have a running WM. You can find my work at: https://github.com/KristianLyng/compiz (I'm also tracking issues there) I've done what I felt like doing, some of which would've been controversial/problematic 5 years

This is a somewhat controversial subject which I only reluctantly bring up. I honestly believe that open discussion is the only way to run a project, and I apologize in advance if I offend anyone. I got what should have been an easy question on #compiz a few days ago. A user came in and asked "What version do you recommend I use?". I honestly didn't know what to say. >From a

For any that are interested, I am assuming position as maintainer of upstream 0.8 stable branches.

With the move to OpenGL ES, several plugins got dropped. I understand some of that has been remedied, but 0.9 still does not come out ahead if my understanding is correct. I have asked around and this is what

Where are we going? It's time to start thinking ahead and really figure out how to make Compiz survive, specially in lieu of Dennis' suggestion. The reality is that there has been the equivalent of no progress since the merge. We've basically only been in maintenance mode. The reason for this, from my point of view, is a complete lack of direction and leadership. We've

The Compiz 0.8.0 release will be the first release to include what was formerly known as Compiz Fusion. A complete feature and string freeze for Compiz 0.8 is in effect from Friday 5th of February, 23:59 GMT. I urge anyone with patches to submit them ASAP, regardless of their state. During most of Saturday, possibly spilling into Sunday, Compiz 0.8 will be branched and made ready for release.

hi, a small patch inspired from Kristian H?gsberg compiz-aiglx patch, to use compiz with xorg aiglx with tftp_damage patch and gl-include-inferior patch. this patch add command-line option to force bind and release whenever the texture is used. to use it you must start xorg in 16 depth mode, and start compiz with LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT environnement variable PS : sorry for my bad english

We were a little imprecise in our original announcement with regards to moving away from freedesktop.org, which seems to have caused some confusion. We are only moving away from the freedesktop.org infrastructure. NOT the standards. By moving away from freedesktop.org, we are: - Shutting down bug-submission on bugs.freedesktop.org. We will be using bugs.opencompositing.org which will soon be

Hello. [Resending the message from a subscribed address] I'm Luca Saiu. I'm part of a small but very motivated team in France, working on accessibility; you might have already exchanged some messages with my colleagues Jean-Philippe Mengual, Ksamak and Raphaël Poitevin. We are developing a customized version of debian using Compiz with Emerald and MATE. I've developed a relatively

Hi, I've just updated compiz in fedora rawhide and wanted to post a quick overview of the patches we still carry. Patch details are available here: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/compiz/devel terminate-move.patch restart.patch These are already upstream, but not yet in a released version. aiglx-defaults.patch tfp-server-extension.patch These two paper over a problem in

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

I just branched for 0.8, since Danny told me there was no reason not to. There are still some bugs to work out of course, but since development has been quiet lately, I figure it's time to branch so that we can: 1. Eventually get to the next stable release 2. Allow people to work more freely on master On my personal list of things I want to see working better before a 0.8 release, I have

So I've spent the last few days getting Xorg pulled from freedesktop git and built. Everything seems to have worked, and I now have Xorg version 7.1.99.2 running, composite enabled, and AIGLX enabled. The Xorg log file shows: (WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x23 (WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x24 (WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x25

I've been using compiz on KDE for a while now and I like the eye candy. Thanks to all who made this possible. I'm usually a no-nonsense guy who doesn't care about eye candy (I'm not even using a background picture because I'm worried about the memory it'll use (on a machine with 2 GB of RAM) :) ) but compiz stormed (sic!) my defences. Now for my questions: 1. compiz is a

Hello, After trying to solve a issue with desktop-effects in fedora (compiz does not let itself to be replaced by metacity). We come to the conclusion that the compiz session management code is broken. When unmanaging the screen compiz should unregister itself from the session manager to let a new started wm to take over the screen. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229113

I'm currently using r300_dri driver (R9600 card). Compiz use glx_ftp and AIGLX(7.2RC2) unstable with it, it's result in system hardlock very often. Just trued veryl with --use-copy option, and it's very stable for me now. So nonftp method support in compiz would be very desirable. Good luck.
