shape extension?

Hiya!

I'm checking out the new Enlightment (DR17.. *drooling on keyboard*).. but it's requiring "Shape extension" in the xorg server.. I've searched forums and google but found nothing.. how/where can I activate shape?

Here's my xorg.conf

Anyone knows? Shape extension wanted!

Btw.. is there any good site explaining xorg/xfree86 modules/extensions?

I think it is something called, Nonrectangular Window Shape Extension
http://www.hp.com/xwindow/viaFrames/ext … shape.html

Taz76 · 2004-12-05 11:14:49

the error-message says.. Xlib: extention "SHAPE" is needed.. or someling like that.. it makes it possible to create non-rectangular shapes, windows i think..

Taz76 · 2004-12-05 11:51:43

Perhaps it has to be compiled with Xorg?

phrakture · 2004-12-06 15:53:44

you have the module missing - i cannot recall the exact name, but it's something like "xext" or "ext" - it's just miscellaneous extensions...

Michel · 2004-12-06 23:52:49

I'm not sure, but I suppose you have the following line to your Section-module in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Load "extmod"

Hopes this helps,

Michel

that's it "extmod"

Michel -> ahhh... load "extmod" did the trick! I looked in xorg's logfile and it says that shape (and some more stuff) is loaded now thanks!
