I've reemerged Xorg adding "aiglx" to USE variable, modified |
| 8 |
/etc/X11/xorg.conf (actually I've been following these instructions: |
| 9 |
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_AIGLX) and tried to launch Xorg with AIGLX. |
| 10 |
Unfortunately efforts were fruitless. Accordingly to article mentioned |
| 11 |
above I have to enable composite in xorg.conf: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Section "Extensions" |
| 14 |
Option "Composite" "Enable" |
| 15 |
EndSection |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
After launching X server with this setting it results in using Mesa |
| 18 |
instead of fglrx, which means NO direct rendering, as proved by glxinfo. |
| 19 |
Beryl cannot be launched because of lack of DRI. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
If I turn composite off, the X server is driven by fglrx, which gives me |
| 22 |
direct rendering and Beryl's refusal to start because of lack of |
| 23 |
composite extension. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
It's all quite suspicious, taking into account fact that Radeons are |
| 26 |
listed at the website above as video cards able of running AIGLX. But |
| 27 |
maybe only on FOSS drivers...? |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Afterwards I've downloaded xlaunch. When trying to launch an app (in |
| 30 |
this case armyops) starting xlaunch in a terminal in an existing X |
| 31 |
server the screen blacks out, probably trying to launch new X session |
| 32 |
and suddenly restarts GDM, meanwhile killing my original session. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I've also tried to use xlaunch in a text console having my previous X |
| 35 |
server turned on. Results are the same. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Have you got any suggestions? |
