XGL and GDM/KDM

Freaky T · 2006-03-01 02:01:40

I just installed the XGL packages from Shadowhand's repository, and xgl/compiz work perfectly using the "startxgl" script provided.

How can I get xgl to start with either kdm or gdm? I've tried the directions here and I seem to just get a regular X server (that is, compiz says "compiz: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz: No managable screens found on display :0.0" when I try to start it)

Anyone know a better way to run Xgl/compiz at system start?

Hey!

If you read the Gentoo wiki, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH there is not the right one. (for Arch users).

I used this on the /usr/bin/compizrc file instead:
DISPLAY=:1 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mesa-cvs/lib/ compiz --replace gconf &

Just follow the instructions on the Gentoo wiki, and it should work
