FWIW, I think current upstream compiz automatically sets LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT with --indirect-rendering, so that should no longer be an issue. Other than that, the solution should be for compiz to register with the session manager as "compiz" rather than "compiz.real". -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.vmware.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
