I'll give it a go and report back. Holy Crap! EXA makes a ton of difference! I can resize windows now without having to drag, un-click and ... wait. Man that's good. Now if I could only get the openGL screensavers to work. All-in-all, I'm amazed at how good EXA works. Not near as fast as fglrx, but not too far behind. Thanks Wil! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Any idea how I can fix this? I kept clicking around and when you click on a filename that was truncated to: Filen The window automatically resizes to accommodate the filename length.

The current install is on archlinux. Most of my other installs are opensuse (where a fglrx driver is available). All I did was rsync my .config/compiz/compizconfig from an opensuse box over to my archlinux box, started compiz again and Presto! All was well in the world -- well almost ;-) Man this was strange?? Is the default config distro specific or is it a compiz generic issues that could be tweaked here? Only other strange issues for compiz with the radeonhd driver is that when I run glxgears, the background for the gears is completely transparent (100% gone). Additionally, shift switcher does not erase the original windows before drawing the shift switch windows (the gradient draws correctly though) See: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/compiz/radeonhd/shiftswitch.jpg After closing all apps and restarting them shiftswitch seems ok?? http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/compiz/radeonhd/shiftswitch.jpg Only real downside so far with the radeonhd driver is the frame-rates in glxgears is about 1/5 what it was with the fglrx driver (Current: 188 FPS, w/fglrx: 1000 FPS). But the desktop effects work smoothly, etc.. The only noticeable lag is with rotate cube and on window resize, but it isn't that bad either.

Adam,
I mesa is loaded, but I'm not sure what you mean by Mesa 3D. I just
know it
as Mesa. Here is what is loaded:
(II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer
(II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_SGI_swap_control and GLX_MESA_swap_control
Do I need something else?

No, I don't know whether 'it' has ever worked before or not. Whatever the 'it/compositing' might be over XDMCP. What I do know is the error about the composite manager crash is the first one I have ever seen before. I've run compiz for a while and xdmcp as well and ever since the 0.5.x days I've never seen this error before, that's why I thought it was so strange. I do have another piece of the puzzle though. I installed Arch on my laptop where I can't get compiz to work due to the (omitting curse words) ATI driver fiasco and Arch not having a fglrx driver. My laptop is using the OSS 'radeon' driver which is OK to look at, but no compiz. So while writing this email, I decided to test the XDMCP connection to the original i686 box that caused the error and ... I was able to connect without any error from my laptop currently running on the radeon driver. I have 2 hard drives for my laptop. The other drive has the openSuSE 11.0 install on it that I was using when the error occurred. I'll reinstall it and enable the crashhandler and see if I can catch anything and report back. Strange error indeed. At least with the test tonight we have narrowed it down to something on the openSuSE 11.0 install on my laptop ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

There seems to be a mutual exclusion between being able to do manual start with "compiz --replace ccp &" and having compiz start at all with "libIndirectGL.so.1" present in /usr/lib. To get compiz to start on my system, I must manually rename the link for libIndirectGL.so.1 or compiz will refuse to run (period). For starters, when my desktop loads, it looks like it is trying to start compiz, the deep shadow behind the cursor is there, but then it loads kwin. Under control center -> sessions manager, there is no way to select compiz or any other desktop manager. kwin is present, but greyed out. To then start compiz, I must manually run fusion-icon. Running fusion-icon Compiz starts just fine. Why compiz-manager doesn't run or complete running fusion-icon on start is a standing question. If the libIndirectGL.so.1 link is present, fusion-icon will not run or start compiz. I can't explain why. Renaming libIndirectGL.so.1 allows fusion-icon to run. However, trying a manual start with "compiz --replace ccp &" fails if libIndirectGL.so.1 is not there. That is the conundrum. There seems to be a "catch 22" on my system between having, or not having, the libIndirectGL.so.1 link present. What can we test or try to solve this problem? Any thoughts? -- David C.

[compiz] compiz autostart with AIGLX
I have a feeling my no autostart problem is related to the following
tests in compiz-manager. Is there a way I can "step" through the script
on openSuSE 10.3 while it is running to find out where the script dies?
Or do I basically have to insert error returns throughout the script to
capture that info?
# if we run under Xgl, we can skip some tests here
if ! check_xgl; then
# if vesa or vga are in use, do not even try glxinfo (LP#119341)

[compiz] All apps jumped out of the boat (systray) again.
List, Mayday, app overboard! All of the systray applications have jumped out of the systray and have been found scattered over workspaces 1 and 4. I saved as many as I could and I have them shown along the side of workspace 1. There was one, klipper, that was placed beyond the screed and could not be saved this time. See: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/compiz/compiz-systray.jpg http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/compiz/compiz-systray1.jpg This happens very frequently. On average every other boot (since this is a laptop, that happens frequently). I would like to find out (1) why this occurs? and (2) how to fix it. My OS is openSuSE 10.3 with the following installed: [root Rankin-P35a/home/david] # rpm -qa | grep compiz compiz-emerald-themes-0.6.0-1.1 python-compizconfig-0.6.0-1.3 compiz-fusion-plugins-main-0.6.0-2.1 compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported-0.6.0-1.3 compiz-0.6.2-2.1 compiz-manager-0.0.1_git071019-13.1 compiz-kde-0.6.2-2.1 compiz-emerald-0.5.2_git070825-1.4 compizconfig-settings-manager-0.6.0-1.4 libcompizconfig-0.6.0-1.3 compiz-fusion-plugins-extra-0.6.0-1.3 Compiz does not autostart requiring a manual run of fusion-icon to get compiz running. I suspect the problems are related. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening. How can I make the apps stay in the systray for good? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

It's either gDesklets or super Karamba. I will look at both. I don't know what, if anything, is going on with super Karamba, but it doesn't look like it has had any development since 2006 and much of it is 2003.

J,
opensuse has issues with autostart. I installed compiz-manager. Compiz
bombed and would not start. Having been through this before, I checked
for the link:
/usr/lib/libIndirectGL.so.1 -> libIndirectGL.so.1.2
and it was present. Compiz was DOA. Again, I moved libIndirectGL.so.1 to
libIndirectGL.so.1.old and rebooted.
No autostart. However, fusion-icon restored the beautiful working
compiz.
This is the second time we have been through the libIndirectGL.so.1
issue. Recall, the first time, I was chastised for messing with the rpm
install. (Note without messing with it, there would be no compiz at all)
So what next? Is this an issue that needs to be reported? There is no
autostart and the compiz-manager install borks compiz on the Toshiba
P35. What can I do to help get to the bottom of this issue? I'm willing
to got to the mat to help make compiz better. You guys have done
fantastic work, and if I can contribute in some small way, I'll do it!
Let me know.
Last issue (I should start a new thread), but, I have seen a vista like
side panel for compiz in screenshots, but I don't know what it is call
or where to get it. Any hints?

[compiz] No Compiz Autostart - SuSE 10.3 no /opt/kde3/share/autostart/compiz.desktop
Listmates, I am trying to determine why compiz will not autostart. Manual start with fusion-icon is required and works fine. One thing I did notice while removing compiz last time with: rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep compiz) fusion-icon was that compiz-manager would not uninstall due to a missing "/opt/kde3/share/autostart/compiz.desktop" Upon reinstall with 1-click, "/opt/kde3/share/autostart/compiz.desktop" is still not present. I suspect this is my autostart problem. Where can I find "/opt/kde3/share/autostart/compiz.desktop" and will installing it manually fix the autostart problem? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

I didn't do the original mv to create the .old, the only thing I did was to try the mv in response to advise from Ben to cure the above error and found that the .old already existed. Strange. Something created the .old file on my system. It is a good thing to, because compiz would not run with /usr/lib/libIndirectGL.so.1 present. Runs find with it moved to .old. Does compiz have its "init layout" anywhere or is that what /usr/bin/compiz-manager does? I would like to have a step by step layout of the initialization so I could go back and hand test each step to find where the problem is the next time compiz decides to disappear.
