I know the feeling.. my performance figures are too embarrassing to compare 
with yours.

It appears that you just need:

export AWT_TOOLKIT="MToolkit"

to fix your Java blank window problems with Sun Java.

As suggested, use AIGLX. AFAIK, XGL is no longer being developed. You
could also try gcj instead of sun-java. I've had some (but not all)
applications work with gcj-4.2.

I have an ATI based laptop, and have no problems with the compiz/beryl + aiglx 
combo using xorg-drv-ati or with google earth. however, i dont really care much 
for most of this desktop eyecandy, so just use ati's drivers ( since I do enjoy 
a bit of enemy-territory  + true combat elite + quake4 ) and get framerates 
like 
this :

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ glxgears
45865 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9172.979 FPS
61548 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12309.445 FPS
59406 frames in 5.0 seconds = 11881.133 FPS
59597 frames in 5.0 seconds = 11919.334 FPS
61542 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12308.389 FPS
61425 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12284.986 FPS

and...

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
8041 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1608.200 FPS
8219 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1643.800 FPS
8326 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1665.200 FPS
8326 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1665.200 FPS

What non ATI based laptop do you plan on getting that will give you this sort 
of 
performance ?

btw, I also have a intel core2 - i945 based laptop and i wont bother publishing 
graphic stats for that... its almost embarrassing.

Hi Karthik,
Thanks for that. I am indeed cursed with an ATI card!
I guess I'll not get to rotate the desktop with Google-earth or OpenProj!!
Time to get another laptop?

[ilugd] Google earth and open proj on XGL

2007-08-24 Thread Karthik Ramgopal
Hi Shivkumar!
  When you run a XGL server, you cannot run Google Earth/
OpenProj or any other application that requires DRI to be loaded.
Enabling Xgl disables DRI. (u can check for yourself typing glxinfo |
grep direct).. ull see a message like

XFree86-DRI missing on Display 0:0

So use the normal (non-XGL) session for these. Unless you have an ATI
card, which is not supported by the FOSS Radeon driver, you can stick
with AIGLX itself. If you have to use FGLRX for DRI, then you have no
choice but to use Xgl for desktop effects and a non-xgl session for such
apps.

Regards,

Karthik Ramgopal
