Re: The Compiz Topic

Packages for x86_64 can be found at: http://www.archlinux.org/~daniel/compiz-fusion/
I provide them personally, don't expect official support from me. It's a rebuild of the packages in i686-community for x86_64. I have tested it and it runs here without erros, which don't mean they are bug-free. They have the same bugs as the i686 version (if there are bugs).

I will delete those packages after they moved officially to community.

EDIT:  It isn't a repo. For installing download the packages you need and install the packages manually. Maybe you must remove the installed version first, before you can install the new version.

EDIT #2: Packages are available in community for x86_64, too.....I'm going to delete my packages.

HardFramed: I think your problem isn't related to my packages; have you configured right Xorg / installed right drivers for you card?

Yes, the right drivers is installed. However, i do not understand this error message, bc I have glx enabled.

compiz (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing <-- /me is confused

does the package support AIGLX?

This is a driver issue. Try another driver or wait for AMD/Ati to release their upcoming driver (that should be officially compatible wit kernel 2.6.23)

oh really? I'm not evening using a ATI card! I have a intel 855GM with the i810 driver, which have worked flawlessly earlier with beryl/compiz and compiz fusion. AIGLX suddenly sucks monkey balls.

Re: The Compiz Topic

This is a compiz bug, solution:

Then start compiz.

Re: The Compiz Topic

This is a compiz bug, solution:
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
Then start compiz.

[user@R50e ~]$ export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 
[user@R50e ~]$compiz --replace compiz (core) - Fatal: No GLXFBConfig for default 
depth, this isn't going to work. compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage 
screen: 0 compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display

also, let me add a little different approach:

LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 INTEL_BATCH=1 compiz --replace --indirect-rendering --sm-disable ccp &
[1] 12541
[user@R50e]$ compiz (core) - Fatal: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this isn't going to work.

Re: The Compiz Topic

Still it is a driver issue. Check Google.

First hit: http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/archive/ … t-516.html

And check also: http://www.compiz.org/FAQ/Users

Re: The Compiz Topic

Hi, I would like to know why I have to install gconf and its deps for running compiz in my system.
I'm a kde user and I use compiz from ages in arch or slackware systems without installing gconf or any gnome deps.
I've installed compiz from source many times, use the nesl's repo and Danimoth packages _without_ gconf  and _without_
any issue always.
gconf is NOT a runtime dep, as my compiz and decorator are running without it from ages in my kde systems.
Please consider removing gconf and gnome deps from the packages. If someone use gnome with compiz it would have gconf orbit and
whatever already installed without the need of this fake dependance.
thank you

I have added in my personal repo two packages: compiz-core and compiz-decorator-gtk.

Now in compiz-core all gconf part is disabled ( so gconf isn't a dep ) and it is moved in compiz-decorator-gtk ( that have gconf deps ).
See PKGBUILD for more information.

Can you test it? Any feedback is importan. In my system all works ok.

Ise: If there isn't TU that recompile fusion packages for 64 bit, you can send your package to me by email, so I'll add to community.
Thanks

Re: The Compiz Topic

Hey guys how to use only compiz-fusion from community?
I've installed compiz-fusion by pacman -S compiz-fusion-kde (some gnome deps like orbit were needed) and this works fine with KDE but now every time I do pacman -Syu I have question to replace compiz with compiz-core

I've installed compiz-core 0.6.2-3 from your repo, and it's working good as always here. :-)

Re: The Compiz Topic

compiz-core-0.7.0-1 and compiz-gtk-decorator-0.7.0-1 introduce some breakage for my (ATI 9200 Pro based) system.

compiz-core: For both compiz-gtk-decorator and emerald I have no window decorations with this version - 0.6.0 was fine.

compiz-gtk-decorator: A warning is output during package upgrade. Something like "<schemalist> not valid underneath <schemalist>

Re: The Compiz Topic

Great! Emerald is working now
Thanks Danimoth.
By the way, i think this version of compiz is a lot less cpu hungry than the previous.
Although i still have problems with my nvidia. I get smootheness only with indirect rendering, and then i get tearing (windows and video). With direct rendering there is no tearing but framerate is half and compiz doesn't run so smooth.

Anyway.... There is still work to be done

Re: The Compiz Topic

Are there any major improvements between compiz 0.6 and 0.7? I last tried compiz at 0.6 and am thinking of trying again.

I'm using .7.3 from the git repo around here and it is much less of a resource hog with many new features.

Re: The Compiz Topic

ok, now it works for me too.

I have nvidia 6200 and athlon xp 3200+ and it runs well with direct rendering. With indirect rendering it's smoother (probably better fps), but direct rendering (+ loose bindings) is acceptable, I use it, no problems with videos...

The difference between 0.6 and 0.7?... 3D windows plugin is finally back!
