[gentoo-user] aiglx vs 3d
Hi, Another ati problem. I wanted to try some eyecandy effects. I don't like gnome so I install aiglx and beryl which are more compatible with kde. I have ati radeon xpress 200 on amd64. When I add an option Option Composite Enable to my xorg.conf my 3d accel is gone: (II) fglrx(0): Composite extension enabled, disabling direct rendering (WW) fglrx(0): *** (WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed! * (WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) * (WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO) * (WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available* (WW) fglrx(0): * * Normally 3d is working ok (more less). I'm useing xorg-x11 7.1 and x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.29.6. Thanks, oskar -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thanks, oskar Hi, Not sure for ati cards, but with an nvidia one i have to add, Option GLXwithComposite 'true' to the device section to get 3d and the composite extension Cynyr -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Not sure for ati cards, but with an nvidia one i have to add, Option GLXwithComposite 'true' to the device section to get 3d and the composite extension I already tried it, but it didn't work. I've searched everywhere, but nothing helped to make this work. Does anyone have a clue? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

hi AFAIK, the proprietary ati drivers don't support compositing and the xorg drivers don't support dri for r400 chipsets i.e. aiglx doesn't work for the xpress 200m :( i've read somewhere that xorg is working on dri for r300 r400 chipsets. we have to be patient. best regards robert -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The composite extension is not necessary for AIGLX or XGL. Leaving it disabled is fine. Follow the directions at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_AIGLX for more information.
