Cairo-Dock with OpenGL works without any problem with nVidia and Intel graphic cards (only on Karmic for these Intel cards).
One Cairo-Dock dev have an old laptop with a radeon graphic card. He has tested with the xorg-edgers ppa and "radeon.modeset=1" option but his system became unstable due to Xorg. After a 'dpkg-reconfigure' for Xorg packages, he has tested Cairo-Dock but there is still a black background and "glxinfo | grep nGL" gives "OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.5" @mac_v : Can you confirm the version of Mesa ? PS : I quote Phoronix : "It happened on Friday night, but the Linux 2.6.31-rc7 kernel is now available. The seventh release candidate for the Linux 2.6.31 kernel brings a variety of small fixes, including a Radeon DRM update. The Linux 2.6.31-rc7 release announcement can be read at LKML.org. The Linux 2.6.31 kernel should be released in early September and it brings staging support for ATI kernel mode-setting support, the mainlining of the TTM memory manager, various graphics DRM driver improvements to ATI and Intel in particular, improvements to different file-systems, new drivers, and much more." -- Artifacts with cairo dock 2.0 [openGL] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/408065 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Cairo- Dock Team, which is a direct subscriber.
