Me 3. I can still play movies, but I don't like errors

.
I think this is just my nvidia drivers.

Here's my console output:

Code:

[kyle@FC6 ~]$ gmplayer

Maby that'll help someone.
I have also tried to compile it myself. It seems as if ./configure doesn't recogonize my X11. Keeps saying if I want to use the gui I have to have X11 installed. I tried installing all the devel packages for xorg but that didn't help either.

EDIT:
OK as root I did

Code:

echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq

and that got rid of part of it:

Code:

[root@FC6 init.d]# gmplayer

I'm working on the rest still.
EDIT 2: OK I found some interesting thing, one being that xserver-1.1.1-47 for fedora doesn't include

Code:

liblayer.so
libxf8_32wid.so

whether or not these effect xshapes, I don't know. I cant' find any deep documentation for xorg 7.1.
Here is something of value though, it's the log of configure for mplayer. it can't find X11, here's the output.

I'm certain it's something to do with the nvidia drivers from livna, because as soon as i installed them, I noticed that the rounding on the edges of windows (in themes that have rounded corners) wasn't working anymore and now I go to use mplayer and I get the same error message as you guys.

KClaisse · #5 26th October 2006, 08:06 AM

moddy, I got that problem too, the transparency on the corners is just black.
bad news is the beta nvidia drivers don't fix the problem.

moddy · #6 26th October 2006, 11:37 PM

Fixed! Editng my xorg.conf as appropriate to get desktop effects (compiz + aiglx) working fixed the problems! I guess a few things get broken in X with proper nvidia drivers due to the integration of aiglx into X. Also, I was unable to get video output working with any method (including xv) in mplayer, now with desktop effects running, it all works! (I was still able to get video going okay in VLC and totem)

anv · #7 30th October 2006, 12:26 PM

what you changed in xorg.conf

moddy · #8 31st October 2006, 03:46 AM

I added the following to the module section:

Code:

SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection

and:

Code:

Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"

to the screen section and:

Code:

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "enable"
EndSection

To the bottom of the file as the Extensions section didn't already exist.

My entire xorg.conf is as follows:

Code:

# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "single head configuration"
	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
	InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Files"
	ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
	ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection

Section "Module"
	Load  "glx"
#	Load  "dri"
	SubSection "extmod"
		Option	    "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
	EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Keyboard0"
	Driver      "kbd"
	Option	    "XkbModel" "pc105"

	Option	    "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "nvidia"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Videocard0"
	Monitor    "Monitor0"

	Option	    "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
	EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
	Option	    "Composite" "enable"
EndSection

What I forgot to mention was that while in the process of attempting to get 3D desktop working, I grabbed the beta Nvidia drivers from Freshrpms instead of Livna, so maybe the livna drivers are packedaged incorrectly or it was the xorg.conf not containing the right options. Anyhow, even with 3D desktop disabled, all the rounding and other issues are still fixed (no video output issues either).

However, one thing has changed since I got 3D desktop working, I now have a 20 inch widescreeen LCD and unfortunately, 3D desktop doesn't appear to support widescreen resolutions yet.

cloudguitar · #9 18th December 2006, 05:28 PM

Cool, thanks.
I just solved my problem editing the xorg.conf file
the way you wrote (especially, thanks to moddy)

KClaisse · #10 27th October 2006, 02:35 AM

Did that get rid of the xshape errors? I will definitely have to try that.

moddy · #11 27th October 2006, 03:02 AM

Yes it definitely did. No black rubbish around Mplayer anymore and windows are rounded (with the 3d desktop's style) again.

jim · #12 5th November 2006, 11:33 PM

The above did not work for me I do not have a nvidia card only a onboard video card for my notebook.

jim · #13 5th November 2006, 11:53 PM

Bugzilla Bug 214127: Sorry, your system does not support the XShape extension

Iron_Mike · #14 6th November 2006, 02:26 AM

Don't know if it will help, but a new update of mplayer and mplayer-gui just showed up on Livna

***Firewing1*** · #15 6th November 2006, 02:35 AM

You need to set 'extmod' to load on your xorg.conf like this:

Code:

Load     "extmod"

(in your "Module" section)
It fixed it for me - apparently, xorg loads extmod automatically when it's not specified, but I don't think so b/c otherwise this wouldn't be happening. I've tried submitting a bug, but it was just closed as NOTABUG.
