On a Dell Inspiron E1505 / 6400 with the ATI x1400 video card running the fglrx driver on Kubuntu 8.04, I have some video problems while running Compiz. I am not using XGL, in fact, I removed it from the system as it was causing performance issues. The symptoms I describe here were present before removing XGL, as well as after.
The test applet on java.com flashes (as if it disappears between animation frames). Google Earth also flashes on manual navigation, but 'sight seeing' animates fine. Google Earth popup dialogs, such as those for displaying user-submitted photographs, do not display but parts of their UI do display. These are my Compiz settings: $ compiz --version Checking for Xgl: not present. Detected PCI ID for VGA: 01:00.0 0300: 1002:7145 (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present. Trying again with indirect rendering: Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present. Checking for non power of two support: present. Checking for Composite extension: present. Comparing resolution (1680x1050) to maximum 3D texture size (4096): Passed. Checking for nVidia: not present. Checking for FBConfig: present. Checking for Xgl: not present. compiz 0.7.4 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Thanks in advance for any advice Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? _______________________________________________ compiz mailing list compiz@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/compiz
