Why would that be?
Because compiz.real (the actual compiz binary) only sees the GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension if the LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 environment variable is set, which is done by the /usr/bin/compiz wrapper script. > But running the compiz.real CloneCommand instead of "compiz &" fails in > the same way as shown above. > > How can I add whatever magic is in /usr/bin/compiz to make this work > from the session manager, so I don't have to run it from the command > line? Probably by somehow making the session manager call the wrapper script instead of the actual binary. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
