Sommaire

[modifier]

Introduction:

Xgl is an Xserver that uses OpenGL for its drawing operations. Together with compiz, an opengl compositing and window manager, it allows for some cool desktop effects. Xgl relies on an extension to mesa, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, that is present only in CVS mesa.

Install Fedora Xgl Repository:

[modifier]

Install Xgl and Compiz packages:

# yum --enablerepo=xgl install compiz xorg-x11-server-Xgl

Result of this Command: Package xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386.rpm is not signed Installation Failed :(

May try cd /var/cache/yum/fedora-xgl/packages rpm -ivh * (actually may need to rpm -ivh one by one...)


Just to get you by change in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-xgl.repo gpgcheck=1 to gpgcheck=0

Run the yum command above again.

Configure the system:

[modifier]

Check your system capability:

 $ gnome-xgl-info
[modifier]

This command must return, it's like that:

 G nVidia Corporation
 1 kmod-nvidia is installed for the kernel release 1.2111_FC5
 1 -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv
[modifier]

Explanation the return of gnome-xgl-info:

  • First line is: 
 CardStatus [CardName]
 where CardStatus is: G(ood), B(ad), S(low), or U(nknown)
  • Second line is: 
 3DStatus [Missing or installed Packages]
 where 3DStatus is 0 or 1
  • Third line is: 
 XglStatus [RecommendedOptions]
 where XglStatus is 0 or 1 and RecommendedOptions is set if the hardware is detected as compatible.
[modifier]

Enable Xgl:

 gnome-xgl-switch --enable-xgl --auto

When the script ask you for applying the modifications, say (y)es.

If xgl doesn't start, see troubleshooting links below: On the opensuse website: http://en.opensuse.org/Xgl_Troubleshooting On the gentoo wiki: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_XGL/Troubleshooting

[modifier]

Configure Compiz:

 gset-compiz

gset-compiz is a very good tool to configure compiz, it was wrot by gerd kohlberger. This software can also manage the configuration of the Quinn Storm compiz version.

The Future

At this time, we wrote a graphic utility to configure Xgl, Aixgl and compiz on Fedora Core. The sources are available on the CVS Repository (this version is not yet usable).
