Fluxbox, Xgl And Xcompmgr Issues

Hi all,

I want to get xcompmgr working with fluxbox. It works as is, but is very slow (I suspect because there is no Xgl). So I installed Xgl and made startxgl as described in the xgl wiki page. When I try and start Xgl, it says something like:

Fatal server error no glx modules loaded

I have an ATI X1200 integrated card and I'm using the catalyst drivers.

Here is my xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "X.org Configured"

Re: Fluxbox, Xgl And Xcompmgr Issues

hi. don't run xgl i think it doesn't even work with fluxbox. i think u should enable composite in your xorg.conf.
add this your xorg.conf :

Section "Extensions"
        Option      "Composite" "true"
EndSection

But will I be able to take advantage of my graphics card or will all the burden be on my CPU to render?

Re: Fluxbox, Xgl And Xcompmgr Issues

Ok I tried enabling that and running xcompmgr, but it's still very slow and laggy to move/resize windows and to scroll up/down and so on.

Re: Fluxbox, Xgl And Xcompmgr Issues

ok. i'm only guessing now but try put this into your xorg.conf

Section "DRI"
Mode         0666
EndSection

and this to  "Device" section:

Option      "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
Option      "DRI" "true"
Option      "GARTSize" "64"
Option      "AGPMode" "4"
Option      "ColorTiling" "on"

i have ATI Radeon 9550 and Catalyst drivers and xcompmgr works fine on my fluxbox.

That doesn't work at all.

Re: Fluxbox, Xgl And Xcompmgr Issues

new catalyst drivers support composite extensions of AIGLX, all you had to do is enable composite, I'm not sure why you are lagging, but I don't think it's an arch-specific issue.
