Getting XGL or AIGLX working with Compiz OR Beryl! - Page 99

***Firewing1*** · #**1471** 12th January 2009, 03:10 PM

Beryl is now out of date - have you tried using compiz-fusion? (See the link at the top of the howto for updates howtos on my blog - the instructions have changed a bit).

I have tried as mentioned in the steps for installation but one step, loading driver for the in-built graphics card. Not sure which driver will suite the display driver. As i mentioned earlier I am using Intel 915GAV which has "Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 900 Architecture". And i think I have AIGLX but not sure of XGL.

Any suggestion what can I do to get this thing working?

Thanks,
Jagadeesh

Can you move the windows around as normal too (try pressing the "alt" key then click on a window and drag it around) or are they all locked in place?

The windows are all locked, as i cannot click on any other application running. ex: If I run 2 consoles from Desktop and I enable compiz from one console then the title bar vanishes for all apps. but I will be able to run commands on both consoles on the Desktop but without bringing the background console to foreground.

Try running compiz with a few arguments:

Code:

compiz --replace gconf

That will at least "unlock" the windows so they move around and fade and such, but you'll still be missing the decorations since you also need to run "gtk-window-decorator". So to put it all together:

Code:

compiz --replace gconf&
gtk-window-decorator --replace&
fg 1

That will run compiz and gtk-window-decorator in the background, then return Compiz to the foreground.

I am getting the following error:

compiz (core) -Warn: SmsOpenConnection failed: None of the authentication specified are supported.
compiz (core) -Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz (core) -Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) -Fatal: No manageable screen found on display: 0,0

Can you please help me on this...

What hardware + driver are you using?

CJagadeeshRaju · #**1478** 27th January 2009, 10:48 AM

I have 915GAV motherboard with no addition PCI vga card. My system is loaded with FC10. I have not installed any additional display driver for my configuration.

Please post the output from these commands:

Code:

glxinfo | grep -i direct
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep -i Driver

That should let us know if you're using the Intel driver or another one (which might not support the tfp extension).

Try starting compiz with this command

Code:

compiz --replace  ccp --indirect-rendering

The Intel driver doesn't work with compiz without --indirect-rendering switch

I didn't find xorg.conf file in the above specified location...

Ah, that's a good sign actually. It means that you're using the defaults/autoconfigured settings from Xorg, so you have the right driver. Try starting Compiz as leigh showed:

Code:

compiz --replace  ccp --indirect-rendering

If you'd like to use gconf, which is what Fedora uses, instead of the Compiz Configuration Plugin (cpp) then start it like this:

Code:

compiz --replace  gconf --indirect-rendering

They're both the same really except "cpp" listens to changes you make in ccsm, while "gconf" uses the default Fedora values as well as the two options you configure on the desktop-effects dialog.

I tried both the switch mentioned above with no success....
I am still facing the same Error message as I posted before... Anymore suggestion, if you have any????

CJagadeeshRaju · #**1484** 9th February 2009, 01:19 PM

Is there a way that this issue can be fixed. If you can suggest me where to get source code and fix this issue would be of great help.

Thanks,
Jagadeesh

Have you tried the Compiz mailing lists or IRC support channel? They may know a few extra tricks that would help.
