Thanks. :-) So I`ll build everything I`ll find within this package: http://www.naderehvandi.net/uploads/com … lx.tar.bz2 ?

oh yeah....after you've installed this i'll say to you what to do

_adam_ · 2006-09-04 04:44:14

can anyone say if this works with xfce4-svn?

Gullible Jones · 2006-09-04 15:42:43

Umm... xorg-server 1.1.4 doesn't exist. You can't get it anywhere, barring time travel.

Gullible Jones · 2006-09-04 22:34:27

Oh... That's 1.1.1, revision 4... Right, because you're using the PKGBUILDs. D'oh.

...has pierre installed aiglx?

Pierre · 2006-09-05 12:31:47

Yes I did and I got compiz running. But there are some problemes with transparency. And I fear my notebook is not fast enough for this; even if it is a lot faster than xgl.

Razer(x) · 2006-09-05 12:54:48

ah..what's your video card?i have an i915....but..have you installed cgwd..and how do you start compiz?

Pierre · 2006-09-05 12:59:03

I have a i855 and a Celeron with 1300MHz.

Razer(x) · 2006-09-05 13:10:34

mmm..is the direct rendering active?

Pierre · 2006-09-05 13:12:16

yes it is. I think I should wait until this stuff is more stable.

Razer(x) · 2006-09-05 13:17:43

eheh it's very stable for me..but do you start compiz using this "compiz --indirect-rendering --strict-binding --replace gconf" ?

Pierre · 2006-09-05 13:28:28

yes i did. But I think a i915 is a quite better chip than my old i855 ;-)

Razer(x) · 2006-09-05 13:39:19

ehhehe...i know..but my chip..isn't good too

jinn · 2006-09-14 20:55:57

Whats the difference between aiglx and XGL? is it supposed to be better than xgl for some reason? been using glx and it works just fine for me.

allucid · 2006-09-14 21:14:12

Wikipedia covers the differences quite well.

In a nutshell (I'm over-generalizing here), XGL works with all graphics drivers but is sort of a hack. AIGLX only works with free drivers that have builtin support or on drivers where the vendor decides to add support but is the more technically correct solution from a software engineering standpoint.

There are also some phiosophical issues.

Eventually, I think the goal is for both to be virtually interchangable and share a similar API so that is good. I personally prefer the AIGLX approach.
