Re: compiz running with fglrx drivers and AIGLX

raul_nds:  I suspect xorg-server is trying to load an older version of the fglrx module.  It should say what version it's trying to load somewhere around the lines you just posted - if you can't find it, then pastebin your entire Xorg.0.log (at pastebin.archlinux.org) and I'll see what I can find myself.

Cerebral:

You are right! I swear I did a pacman -Sy fglrx. however i still had the 8.40 version installed. I am now grabbing the 8.42 version. I'll let you know when it's working smile

Re: compiz running with fglrx drivers and AIGLX

Well, I guess the driver itself is working, but no Compiz for me. GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
Arghhhh

[raul@osiris ~]$ compiz --replace

you added the Composite section to your xorg.conf ?

also maybe try

grep AIGLX /var/log/Xorg.0.log

and

grep Compo /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Re: compiz running with fglrx drivers and AIGLX

@raul_nds, compiz + fglrx works only if AIGLX and COMPOSITE are enabled in xorg.conf and with xorg-server <= 1.3.


We can't stop here! This is bat country!!

Re: compiz running with fglrx drivers and AIGLX

Yeap done smile thanks

Actually my performance dropped, so maybe this wasn't worth it sad

EDIT: I changed accel from EXA to XAA and my performance has improved. Oh well...

Just in case, I ran into some troubles downgrading xorg.

First I used the official downgrade method and X wouldn't start. After that I just commented out testing in pacman.conf and reinstalled xorg-server. Still nothing. Turns out I had to install xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-input-mouse.

I have no idea how it was working before, if I didn't have this packages installed.

Re: compiz running with fglrx drivers and AIGLX

alright this is what I am getting:

I "enabled" AIGLX & Composite in xorg.conf after installing fglrx 8.42.3 cause I had them disabled for some reason. Now when I start X, the log file does say


(==) AIGLX enabled

and

(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so

I get a bunch of (WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual ***** about 75 times later on.


When I try to start compiz I get GLX texture from pixmap missing .. if I try to load with by preloading the MESA libraries, I get the same problem.

Odd thing is I have noticez zero performance difference between compiz in XGL from either drivers. glxgears and fgl_glxgears and a bit faster under "normal X" (or is that aiglx?..) .. odd thing is under fglrx 8.40 i get EXTREME performance from glxgears under XGL even though the display actually looks quite sluggish .. it reports like 20% more fps ..... go figure


i heard all this glx from pixmap might be a compiz issue though ..
