Yeah, the folks in #compiz on freenode are saying compiz by itself isn't
that useful... so I guess the beryl port is more the way to go.  They also
said it doesn't need gconf-editor because it has its own.  I'm really tired
now so hopefully we can pick this up when I wake up!

My pleasure. ;)

Actually creating a port is no big deal you know. ;)

What is that? ;)

Do you mean Beryl integrated version?

That is what google tells me. I will see if I can port it.

Let us see how it goes.

Not sure if this is me doing something wrong or bugs. I will try some
more tomorrow.  Thanks for your efforts I am glad to see things like
this available in openbsd. I'd really like to tie in my onboard
accelerometer and be able to flip between workspaces by tapping on the

Dear Brandon,

Do you have it working properly now?

I have to create FLAVORS and make other changes to the port.

Does it behave properly? Do you get any weird problems?

Many thanks for the testing.

Much appreciated.

Thanks.

While I personally don't care much for eyecandy (the other features of
compiz are occasionally worthwhile). I should point out to everyone that
in order to use this you need to set LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 in your
environment when you start compiz. Due to interactions with the DRI
protocol drawing straight to the xserver's front buffer and compositing
wanting everything to draw to private back buffers.

The DRI2 work upstream in X, along with drm drivers having kernel memory
management is in part intended to fix this.

I'm building xfce4 now. Going to rebuild the new port and try again. I
was able to forcefully make the previous port fire up without dumping
core. It took some doing with my xorg.conf. I'll report back in a few
hours.

Thanks for testing.

If it dumps core then I will try to get drm working and fix this port.

But it will take some time.

Thank you.

The port may have problems. I know that this lib may cause trouble since
make plist warned me and I manually removed a line from plist.

I think special handling is required for this lib which is generated by
compiz.

I shall work on it and get back.

Thanks.

Sorry, but this port does not work.  It is dumping core and fails to start
at all.  I placed /usr/local/bin/compiz in my .xsession and things failed
and dumped core.  drm is enabled.  Also, we *REALLY* don't want another
libpng specifically for this port.  Can the existing one be used?

I'm on a snap from 11/10 ish and the requirement for
devel/startup-notification had to be satisfied manually.  Building now on
i386 with inteldrm.

Perhaps I need to upgrade my snap and try again?
