I was unable to get Compiz, XGL or AiGLX to install on my system, so it is
using NVIDIA. Attempts to install them via YUM or YUMex always resulted in a
missing dependency for file Libdbus-1.so.2
I searched and googled for hours, but cannot find a rpm that provides that for FC6.
Would there be any advantage performance wise if I could somehow get Compiz/XGL or
AiGLX installed ? Or am I better off just running beryl via Nvidia ?
Is it even possible to get those running on FC6 with KDE ?
System is a P4 3000mhz HT cpu, with 2g ram. Nvidia GeForce 7600GS 512mb ddr2 video.
2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 #1 SMP kernel. v.9631 Nvidia driver. All up to date via
YUM UPDATE.
Here are the Module, Device and Screen sections of the xorg.conf file that I ended
up with:
Yup, sure did. They do have a dbus.0.62-02.fc5.i386.rpm
that provides that file, however it wont install on my fc6
system as I have a more recent version of dbus already installed.
I even attempted to do YUM REMOVE on my current version, but
that looked like it was going to remove 3/4 of my system, so
I told it not too proceed....
...
If anybody sees anything either missing, incorrect or unneeded in that, please
let me know.
Thanks
Note the options I have highlighted by making them bold. They are in the wrong section; AFAIK, they should be used in Section "Device", not in Section "Screen".
I hope that helps.
