XGL: Actual situation

Hi all.

I would explain the progress of situation about xgl and compiz.

1 - We have, since September,  white screen with compiz and xgl, or beryl and xgl. It seems to be fixed; please, check your compizrc and startxgl ( in new xgl-git 20061126 startxgl is fixed ), because now I use the following command:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mesa-xgl-cvs/lib/ LD_PRELOAD=/opt/mesa-xgl-cvs/lib/libGL.so.1.2 compiz --replace --indirect-rendering --strict-binding --use-cow miniwin decoration transset state wobbly fade minimize cube rotate zoom place scale move resize switcher trailfocus water bs &

to start compiz.
With this, I'm not get the white screen of  the death.
I've updated the wiki.
Please, can you post your feedback on this?

2-With new version of mesa-xgl-cvs, we need new version of libdrm ( see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=210800#210800 ).
Until libdrm 2.3.0 goes in current, please use my version of libdrm ( you can find it in my repo -simply pacman -Sy libdrm ).

Rember: Your Feedback is important

Please,reply with your brain ( I wouldn't read 'hi, i don't see anything with compiz' but a serious reply, like 'hi, i have this error:....' )

Good Luck!

ps - wait cron update of my repo ( 07 PM GMT ) to see all modify.

Re: XGL: Actual situation

I can't seem to download the libdrm 2.3 package.  I have your repo in my list and doing a pacman -Sy libdrm just gives me this

[root@arch eric]# pacman -S libdrm
:: libdrm-2.0.2-1: is up to date.  Upgrade anyway? [Y/n]

Doing a pacman -Syu of course gives me an unresolved dependency

[root@arch eric]# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases... 
:: current is up to date
:: extra is up to date
:: unstable is up to date
:: community is up to date

error: unresolvable dependencies:
  mesa-xgl-cvs: requires libdrm>=2.3 but it is not in the sync db

So basically I'm not sure what to do.  I checked but there is no libdrm in the AUR.  Is it possible you could put this package in the AUR so that we could more easily obtain it?

Re: XGL: Actual situation

when i do

pacman -S xgl-git compiz-git

pacman downloads all packages, then it says :

checking package integrity... 
error: archive libwnck-compiz-2.16.1-2.pkg.tar.gz is corrupted

Remove the corrupted package:
# rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libwnck-compiz-2.16.1-2.pkg.tar.gz
Then try again:
# pacman -S xgl-git compiz-git

Re: XGL: Actual situation

If your application written in Java doesn't appear, or window appear white, test this:

AWT_TOOLKIT="MToolkit"
export AWT_TOOLKIT

This hack temporary resolve problem. While waiting a solution, it work fine.

This "hack" works great. Thanks for posting. Now my tvbrowser and other java apps are working again.

I use beryl and the "hack" works great here, too.

Thanks

Re: XGL: Actual situation

- Upgraded version of libwnck-compiz ( 2.16.3 )
- Now compiz doesn't support kde anymore. If you want, you can recompile it using "--enable-kde" flags.

Thank you

Re: XGL: Actual situation

How come you dropped support of athlon-xp? Is it just that it's not necessary anymore?

Cheers
