Re: [x11] Xorg 6.8.0

I will upload it now to http://sonderschueler.de/archlinux/xorg

Could be taking a hour until it is complete (20KByte/s upload).

Filesize is 52MB, md5sum 1579fab50078467a7a6860b896f23e0f

---

I personally went back to 6.7.0 because my fluxbox dont liked 6.8.0 so much. Click to raise doesn't work. I must first click on a window, then press twice alt+tab and then the window is raised. I didn't figured out if its a Xorg or fluxbox Problem. Just wanted to mention wink -- resolved now, see below

Re: [x11] Xorg 6.8.0

hmm... transet and xcompmgr are sooo slow, it's unbearable to use them.  I must be doing something wrong...
also, KDE won't work with the new version, it freezes at initiliazing perhipherials... oh well, time to use e!

Re: [x11] Xorg 6.8.0

Okay, i got it working at decent speed, but xcompmgr is so freaking unstable.  where can I get some patches for it?

Re: [x11] Xorg 6.8.0

I'm having the same problem w/ KDE... I think I'm going to hold off for awhile, or maybe hack around w/ it myself for a bit...

as for patches for xcommgr try patch -p1 < /dev/rand... that's probably your best bet wink

Re: [x11] Xorg 6.8.0

Xcompmgr works very bad with Driver "ati" in xorg.conf, see: http://sonderschueler.de/pics/xcompmgr-shit.png

With Driver "radeon" it draws everything clean, but it is so ridiculous slow.  I move a window and it follows 3-4seconds later und not very smooth sad
with xcompmgr -s instead of -c it seems to be a little smoother, but its still very sad...

fluxbox works now correctly with slit layer set to Desktop smile

Re: [x11] Xorg 6.8.0

Hmm, I just installed this, and everything thing is fine except the dri module doesn't load... maybe the new version has a problem with i810 based cards. I'm sticking with 6.7.0 until I can figure out the problem.

consult your windowmanagers documentation.
I doubt you can make it work tho.

metacity will probably use all the new features by out of the box with gnome 2.8 smile

Re: [x11] Xorg 6.8.0

When I compile it with NPTL's glibc, I get following error:

In file included from /home/mirek/pakiety/ignored/x/src/xc/extras/drm/shared/drm.h:41,
                 from ../../../programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/xf86drm.h:39,
                 from ../../../extras/Mesa/include/GL/internal/dri_interface.h:48,
                 from glxclient.h:82,
                 from clientattrib.c:39:
/usr/include/linux/config.h:1:2: #error "Compilation aborted. Please read the FAQ for linux-libc-headers package."

make[5]: *** [clientattrib.o] Blad 1

on regular glibc all compilation work fine.

Re: [x11] Xorg 6.8.0

I have the same issue as nosebleed, what i ended up doing was enabling both gl and dri and it worked. Also, I might add that gnome and kde both refuse to start now, both complaining about /tmp/.X11-unix . As well, when I switch out of X into the regular VT's... X crashes and complains about losing the screen, and the mouse pointer becomes a permanent frozen image on my VT's up until I start X and exit it the correct way. As well, xcompmgr makes my system so incredibly slow, it's unbarable sad So much for all the fun stuff that the new xorg promissed.

I'm sticking with 6.7 for now.


The suggestion box only accepts patches.

working good here.  I had to:
chown root /tmp/.ICE-unix

to eleminate some errors on startkde.

First time I started up (startx, which calls exec gnome-session) I got that error, too.
Second time (next time I booted), I had to create it.  Where should we file a bug report?  Here, or at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/ ?

For now, I just added this to my /etc/rc.sysinit file.  Hope it works.  smile

mkdir /tmp/.ICE-unix
chmod 1777 /tmp/.ICE-unix

I don't know what -e means in that script.  I'm hoping "exists."  I just ran through the bash manual, but I didn't see anything there.  So if someone could let me know, and/or point me to the place to look, that would be much appreciated.  smile

EDIT:  -e didn't work.  sad
