just a small update I have installed and had running XGL in openSuse 10.2 right out of the box in only a few clicks of the mouse. installed right from yast without needing to go to the command line.

Hi,

Been foolin around for quite some time with Xgl and it works fine – then today I was trying to set up Dual Head setup and it broke my Xgl

Finally I’m back allmost, but eventhough I have all the plugins setup in gconf editor and even mention all of them in the gnome-session-proerties setup – then I loose “decoration” at reboot. When I reboot and startup it just gone – and starting up gconf-editor show exactly that, then I add it manually and viola its working fine (sometimes I also loose “wobbly” and “cube”. So somehow my settings either dont save right or get messed up by something else /and yea I have tried to exit the gconfeditor and enter it again to see if “decoration” is still there – and it is). It goes away either at logout and/or reboot.

Im running SLED 10 and have had Xgl working superbly for months so this is a pain…

Any ideas ? its driving me nuts !

Hi there, I’ve managed to get XGL working in my KDE environment with all the ATI Drivers working in SuSE 10.1. My main problem at this point is that even if it renders the mouse and can randomly drag windows play with the desktop-cube, make some effects and fill in certain forms, most of the time doesn’t allow me to click in menus/windows/links/etc…

The curious thing about this is that happens only in certain windows where sometimes works and others doesn’t, it just doesn’t follow a problem-pattern. Hope somebody can enlight me the way.

Thanks in advance.

@jorge:
intel i915 works flawlessly without configuration if you use SLED10. Perfect for newbies!

2.6ghz intel
geforce fx5200

had XGL up and running for a couple of months, just recently I checked the “save current settings” when logging out of GNOME, once I rebooted the desktop seemed to freeze as the windows manager icon appeared in the left hand corner of the boot picture. If left alone for a couple minutes it would finish booting. I closed everything and did another save current settings when logging out (saved current settings with nothing running) now my windows buttons are all gone, but just for that one user. Everything works fine under root….

Well, if somebody had told me that “compiz –replace gconf” would fix Xgl in a few seconds, I wouldn’t have believed them, but it did and it all works now.

Has only frozen once [luckily I had imaged it] and now only wish I could freeze the effects to take a ScreenShot of them. Are your samples from a digital camera perhaps?

Seems I have xgl all set up and ready to go, but it doesn’t seem to allow me to do anything in the way of 3D options. I mean they’re there, but selecting the keystrokes/mouse options in the menus doesn’t seem to work at all.

4. Run this command: 11 /usr/X11R6/bin/X

Okay. Somebody has pointed out to me that the first two characters aren’t ones, but actually lowercase lls. That made a BIG difference to that instruction result.

Hmmm? This is from the Desktop Effects Settings:

“Xgl is enabled.

To disable it and return to the 2D desktop, press “Disable 3D Desktop” below. This will log you out and return you to the login screen.”

So, why doesn’t it seem to be working?
