Hi! I have a problem with XGL. I compiled XGL (i used mikos pkgbuilds) - it was not a problem. Mikos made script to run XGL, i launched it and on the vc/8 starts XGL with GNOME. It worked.
Now, i'd like to use XGL with KDE (default desktop for me). I tried find howto's on the net (gentoo-wiki, ubuntu-wiki, suse-wiki), but KDE still doesnt work as i wish (with XGL ).
Is there anybody, who use KDE with XGL a who can describe the path to run KDE on XGL step by step. Thanx!

I got kde and xgl running by doing this:
1) Edit the /usr/bin/startxgl script
vi /usr/bin/startxgl
2) Add one more elif before the last else
elif [ "$2" = "kde" ]; then
msg "Starting gnome-window-decorator"
DISPLAY=:$xgldisplay gnome-window-decorator &
msg "Starting kde"
DISPLAY=:$xgldisplay exec startkde
3) Save and quit the file.
4) Run startxgl. Example for a nvidia card:
startxgl 0 kde nvidia
Yep! I know ... my english sucks

Hi!
I hav got XGl running on GNOME and XFCE/-svn and it work very good, but i cant run it on KDE.
I got the lines in startxgl like you nozey but it doesnt work. When i type "startxgl 1 kde nvidia" run gnome... In console i can see that start gnome-session run by startxgl script , but theres no line about gnome-session in startxgl (kde section)
Here is my script:
#!/bin/bash
# xgl startup script by RiPz @ www.binary-pulse.co.uk
# GNU Public Licence
# woo!
# Edit: 20060301 Added xfce-svn CF (CoffeeBuzz www.tripthelight.net/xgloverlay)
