Like dragoran said, I also agree that ccp is a better choice .. because if we insist in using gconf, desktop-effects and gnome-wm need to do checking whether to load ccp or to load gconf plugin .. plus, the compizconfig-settings-manager requires user to use ccp plugin and it doesnt work with gconf plugin (compizconfig-backend-gconf != gconf plugin) .. for ccp, desktop-effects surely requires patching because the current desktop-effects is using gconf and not libcompizconfig .. > > - the default installation provides several plugins that might pull > > more dependencies eg: fuse. to_split or not to_split > do you have a list of this deps? > we could split it into compiz-fusion-plugins and > compiz-fusion-plugins-extras after some checking, I noticed fuse-libs is now standard in installations .. erm .. guess we dont need to split them then .. but I havent tested to yum it from a clean system .. so I might miss something > > I just built today git checkout and they are available here > > > http://devel.foss.org.my/~kagesenshi/repo/private/testing/ > > > feel free to play around with them .. > thx, will look at them > > about desktop-effects .. for systems with AIGLX, an environment var > > need to be exported before launching it to make it work > > > export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 > this should then be added to gnome-wm to because on login desktop-effects is > not inolved. after the patch, the env var no longer requires exporting .. > -- > fedora-devel-list mailing list > fedora-devel-list(a)redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list -- ----------------------------------------------- regards Hikaru ----------------------------------------------- Mohd Izhar Firdaus Bin Ismail Amano Hikaru 天野晃 「あまの ひかる」 mohd.izhar.firdaus(a)gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- kagesenshi.87(a)gmail.com Blog: http://kagesenshi.blogspot.com http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MohdIzharFirdaus -----------------------------------------------

Hikaru Amano a écrit : To make this working compiz need to use texture copy instead of texture_from_pixmap method[1] (because of the fact the fglrx driver don't have support for texture_from_pixmap). That functionality can be ported from beryl. Maybe a little patch to compiz must applied too[2] If that's doable, I could happily forgot that nightmare Xgl review ;-) [1] http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/compiz/2007-June/002448.html [2] http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/compiz/2007-June/002446.html Alphonse

Hikaru Amano a écrit : I have see that there too but on my box LibGL* files don't contain .xlibmesa extension. To be sure, I have build the RPM packages from the ATI installer and no trace of this extension there too, so the libGL with this extension come probably from packages for another distrib. rpm -qlp ATI-* | grep -i libgl on the generated package returns: /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so Alphonse
