fglrx 8.24.8 and xgl

Am I the only one whose xgl got broken with 8.24.8?

the "normal" xorg7 works just fine including direct rendering.
Running the latest from shadowhand, xgl displays a blank screen for a few seconds and then quits.

Re: fglrx 8.24.8 and xgl

I've managed to get Xgl running again with startxgl.
However, GDM still dies and restarts endlessly without showing anything.
There are no errors in the files in /var/log/gdm.
am I the only one with the borked GDM?

Re: fglrx 8.24.8 and xgl

this configuration worked with xgl using 8.23.7:

[servers]
0=inactive
1=Xgl

[server-Xgl]
name=Xgl
command=/usr/bin/Xgl :1 -ac -accel xv:pbuffer -accel glx:pbuffer
flexible=false
chooser=false
handled=true
priority=0

Re: fglrx 8.24.8 and xgl

startxgl 1 gnome ati

works fine here with the latest drivers

please note that I use kernel26beyond and thus also ati-fglrx-beyond,
but in essence, its the exact same driver

However, I did have to change something or else the screen would just go white/black (dots?) with a black cross, meaning Compiz couldn't load.
I read somewhere that increasing the "sleep" before starting Compiz could help, so I made the following change to "/usr/bin/startxgl":
(this is just a piece out of startxgl, not the whole script)

...
else
  msg "Using card: other"
  Xgl :$xgldisplay -ac -accel xv -accel glx:pbuffer &
fi

sleep 10
msg "Starting Compiz (window and composite manager)"
DISPLAY=:$xgldisplay LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mesa-xgl-cvs/lib/ compiz --replace gconf gconf-dump miniwin decoration transset wobbly fade minimize cube rotate zoom scale move resize place switcher trailfocus water &

sleep 1
if [ "$2" = "xfce" ]; then
  msg "Starting xfce-mcs-manager"
...

Another note: I had to do "startxgl 8 gnome ati" with the previous driver (latest one of the 8.23 series) for some unknown reason, other things then 8 worked too, but I never got 1 to work, now with 8.24.8 it does work.
