Compiz as WM problems..

adriano · 2008-07-29 19:24:59

Hi to all. I see wiki and forum topic http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=51282
I'm trying to start Compiz-fusion without DE but when I start .xinitrc script or I digit in a shell "compiz --replace ccp &", I have this errors and xserver crashs

compiz (core) - Fatal: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this isn't going to work.
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.

I tried all solution in .xinitrc and start-fusion.sh but It doesn't work.
I activated the AIGLX support for my radeon drivers like in a wiki.
This is my Xorg.conf file

Does changing the Default Depth line to 16 help at all? Just a guess. I recall something about a problem with a depth of 24.

adriano · 2008-07-29 23:02:49

I didn't understand...I must change 16 to all ?

The error says that "No GLXFBConfig for default depth". Your default depth line is 24. I would try changing it from

DefaultDepth  24
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"
EndSection

to

DefaultDepth  16
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"
EndSection

I also found a ton of threads when I googled "NO GLXFBConfig for default depth". I would troll through those.

I had the same problem as you do. The problem isn't the default depth. The problem is you don't have the direct rendering needed for compiz. Assuming you are using the opensource ATI driver "radeon" from your xorg.conf file, that unfortunately doesn't support 3D rendering for your ATI card yet.

Just to prove my point enter this:

glxinfo | grep -i "direct rendering"

If it saids no, adding the extra options or enabling AIGLX will do you no good.

I recommend uninstalling that driver and installing the proprietary driver catalyst because it is the only one that works with AIGLX and direct rendering, which is what I needed to get compiz-fusion working.
