Grr. I have too much random errors, probably due to cvs. I tried the Kororaa live cd
and it worked fine:

http://getkororaa.com/

I feel so noob!

If the kororaa guys can do it, we can too. Or at least, that's the theory.

How did those Kororaa-developers do it? I talked to a person earlier today that said that he had got XGL working on Gentoo, but he didn't really say how.

I've been struggling with this one all day, and as far as i can see, you've been working on it even longer.

Kind Regards Bjerrk

yeah, I've been working on it off and on since I first posted. Its really frustrating, I just can't get xgl to build. But, I also tried that livecd and yes, it works just not for me in mandriva.

Lightbulb xgl on Slackware
Hi

I have tried Kororaa xgl live cd, and I found it more fast for OpenGL acceleration than my kde3.5 over xorg6.9. (GF4ti4200)

For a hard install on Slack 10.2 :
I found a really good link ( in spanish ) with a simple how-to and all packages included:


http : / / w w w(dot)h8red(dot)cl/sitio/node/7?PHPSESSID=3e038136e06ac4b1696d9878ef04e1de

( url re-spelled for posting limitation remove spaces and replace "(dot)" by "." )

I followed it close, but it only fails with GLX initialization:

(EE) Unable to load GLX module

X starts , but not compiz of course

The NVidia OpenGL driver seem to be slightly modified by installation of xgl, but I haven't searched enough to find out what is the trick.( maybe with earlier nvidia drivers...)

I will try to recompile the packages given by myself with your script "Linux.tar.gz"

My goal is to run xfce and KDE on xgl & Slack.

Let's go Slackers !!!

If anyone can make the last inch to succes, post DA MAGIC HOW-TO !

Please !!

well...
Well this is a good script, at least the one where I can see which packages I need to install this #$%@$#@$%#
Anyways, some packages area running error cause they aren't maintened with CVS anymore but with GIT

I'm doing some modifications and testing right now...

will inform you if it will work


cya!

Well, afternoon now, and still re-making this script, adding some funcionality, but more fixing bugs with packages in real...

some packages as needed but aren't related on script

anyways, when I finish it i'll post it here


thanks guys, and thanks linux.tar.bz for the good script

Hey it's tar.gz .
I'm happy to see that someone uses it as a basis. I worked hours on it then gave up.
Patrick Volkerding told me modular X11 will be included in 11.1, and that will be a good thing for us who want to try Xgl and associates.
I hope you will succeed.
And i hope you do it on Slack 11 .
