Now I managed to run Xgl without errors. The problem was in FontPath options in xorg. I've commented them and Xgl doesn't complain it cannot find fixed font anymore. But if I execute 'Xgl', all I see is a black screen and a cursor. I can move the cursor but nothing happens. If I run 'desktop-effects', the Xgl will crash. Now if there is an option Composite Enable in xorg.
Jed : sorry, I have the same kind of warnings but everything is working fine. Tehnik : please follow my howto above to configure your xorg. PS1 : you will have to use "livna-config-display" once and choose "Disable all" to undo the changes in GDM config files.
PS2 : don't lauch XGL from terminal: it's not so easy because you have to use the right options and then lauch Gnome Again, thanks for the quick response, you've been a huge help! I disabled the multihead layout and everything works beautifully. As I mentioned before, when I ran glxgears on the multihead layout, it would run well on one screen, and black on the other. I'd love to see this wonderful window manager working on both screens, it would truly be wonderful.
Let me know if you have any other ideas. EDIT: There is one small problem. My gnome panels are missing the windows. What I mean is, I have Pidgin start up upon login.
When I log in, the buddy list window comes up, but the window does not seem to be seen by the gnome panel as in, there's nothing in the window list, and there's nothing in the application selector section. Also, the workspace switcher is gone.
I don't know what this means or how to fix it at all. However, the secondary screen is just half of my background image, with nothing on it. When I mouse over to it, I get the X mouse image, and cannot do anything with it. Do I need to start gnome twice? Thanks again for all the help! Hello, your problem concerns a dual-head config. Unfortunately I cannot help you a lot with it, sorry I have never really tried myself and don't know the Xinemara options.
I suggest you ask for help on the forum forums. Thanks for your your answers. Software: -Distro: Fedora 7 -uname -r: 2. I left the former. I saw no stuff like cube, transparence etc.
I just tried to turn on and off everything that might be related to activating Xgl features But nothing helped to enable desktop effects. After having chosen Compiz via fusion-icon all windows lost their window header the part of window containing close,maximize and minimize buttons and were aligned to upper-left corner. But when specifying Metacity, the normal behaviour of windows comes back.
I tried to bind keyboard shortcuts to initiate and rotate the cube in CompizConfig Settings Manager, tried to enable different features like benchmark. But none of them worked. I'm sure I specified unused keyboard shortcuts to avoid conflits with other applications which could use the same key combinations.
No theme in Emerald Themer was applied when I tried to. Here is the output of "ps aux grep Xgl" to ensure Xgl is running: tehnik 0. It means fglrx works properly.
What am I doing wrong? How to enable Xgl features? I'm at my wits' end. You are my last hope. Thanks in advance. I have problems installing this xgl packages. Any ideas!? Tehnik : what a long message! A few questions before continuing: 1 do you use a 64bits architecture? Especially have a look at the. Finally it works!!! I wonder why. That lead to loading a wrong driver radeon instead of fglrx and other ensuing consequences. Everything works fine and quite fast!
The system performance is excellent and I don't have to use x screen resolution anymore: Man, you're great! Your script is all-a-person-can-dream-about: One should build a monument in your honour!
Hey you're great! In the end I fully installed 5 different kernels because of various troubles with each one the new 2. After another 10 hours working around to get Beryl running I was just about to give up. After finding your page your script perfectly did the job in about 10 minutes just started without parameters.
After various package updates I have not Beryl and Compiz running with full 3D acceleration. Checking for XComposite extension : passed v0. Well, with an nvidia you do not need XGL even though it should work : nvidia drivers integrate everything for the 3D desktop to work.
Are the nvidia drivers well installed? For the border and title bar, try "emerald --replace". Hi Nicofo, I am about to reinstall fedora and would like to get your advice. I am a bit confused here - with the new 8. NO xgl installation? Also, is it better to stick with FC7 or wait to FC8 with respect to the fglrx driver? And one final question In the past fglrx was known to break suspend to ram. Hi, with the new ATI driver 8. I would suggest you to wait for F8 since it will be available in 4 days.
Concerning the suspend: well, as my concern, it still doesn't work. Perhaps it depends on the hardware not only the video card I mean? Hello, I tried the script on F8 but it failed I got compiz running Installing XGL is not needed anymore to benefit from the effects of a 3D desktop. He thought that perhaps your script to install the xorg-xserver-Xgl would help. The script did install, even though I'm running F8 as per your Post above , but unfortunately it has not helped to get Compiz-Fusion working.
Although it is perhaps impossible to get Compiz-Fusion working on this hardware, I would like to know where you got the source code for the XGL server, so that maybe I can try to rebuild it for F8. If you could point me to the location of the source code, I would appreciate it. Thanx for your time and help, and for the above script and software. Regards, VJSchiavoni. Hello, you can find the sources of XGL here: download. Does it work without compiz-fusion? Not sure they are good for your video card.
You should obtain a grey screen with just a cursor Hello, Nico: Thank You for the reply, and sorry that it took so long for me to respond. Yes, Xgl works on F8, but not well: graphical performance is very poor. Oh, well, C'est la vie. I also downloaded the source code for Xgl and tried to re-compile, but it failed I can't remember why Thanx Again for your time and help. Hope to see you on Fedora Forums! Can you give me detail name of package?
Resolving download. HTTP request sent, awaiting response XGL is perhaps not available for your Fedora version or your architecture Hello, the error is indicated: "XGL is perhaps not available for your Fedora version or your architecture So as you can see it has become deprecated. Why do you need XGL? Probably for the 3D desktop? Thanks for the script that installs and configures XGL on Fedora. I was looking for it. Hope it will work properly. Hi, Yes, it'll work properly Thanks for this stuff, our system administrator has used as guidance while installing necessary add-ons on Fedora.
Best regards. Nom ou pseudo :. Adresse email :. Site web facultatif :. Commentaire :. Fil des commentaires de ce billet. First of all, you must have installed the fglrx drivers and be ensured that they are working fine.
To check the installation, run " glxinfo grep direct ": it should return " direct rendering: Yes ". Restart your X server and the fglrx service service fglrx restart alternatively reboot your PC. Commentaires 1.
