Compiz with Intel X3100

Hello everyone,

I installed Arch64 on my Acer Travelmate 5720 and everything now runs really fine.
But I have a problem with Compiz.

The notebook has an Intel X3100 graphics chip and I adjusted my xorg.conf to use AIGLX like it is described in
the wiki. I installed the "intel" driver from testing, because I did not get an X Screen with the "i810" driver.

It seems that AIGLX is not working with that Driver because compiz is missing the GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmaps when started.

is it not possible to use compiz and X3100 ?

Re: Compiz with Intel X3100

EXACTLY the same here. Arch64 + X3100 + Compiz => doesn't work.

I found so many threads about problems with GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, but no solution for me.

Seems we have to wait for a new release?!

Re: Compiz with Intel X3100

I run Arch64 with X3100 too, and compiz-fusion works very well for me. I use nesl247's repo: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=34028. Check that thread, and you should be able to get it working.

Note that playing videos will be slow or even crash, so I just disable compiz when I want to do that. There's an applet called compiz-fusion-icon that is very handy for that. Enabling EXA will stop it from crashing, but then it gets really cpu-heavy. Hopefully it will be solved in the future. Here's my xorg.conf if you're interested:
