Unhappy problem with xgl and beryl on Kubuntu with ATI


Hello guys.

Well, I'm a problem with the xgl. I install all pakages requested (xserver-xgl,libs,beryl-manager, emerald and aquamarine(plugins for KDE)). then I created the script to run the xgl when start the system, another to run the beryl-manager. then I created a new session for KDE. and close the session, restart the X windows and select the session but when I start the new session the system is running too slowly, well, I open a terminal and execute glxinfo and the output tells me that the direct rendering is NO and the Xfree86-DRI is missing. Well, in my default session on KDE the ATI drivers runs perfect but in the other session with XGL the ATI drivers doesn't run.

Can I help me???

Script #1 in /usr/bin/ name: startxgl.sh

#!/bin/bash
Xgl -fullscreen :1 -ac -br -accel glxbuffer -accel xvbuffer &
sleep 4
export DISPLAY=:1


Script #2 in ~/.kde/Autostart/ name: startberyl.sh

#!/bin/bash
beryl-manager

file of session in /usr/share/xsessions/ name: kdexgl.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=kdexgl
Comment=Start an xgl Session
Exec=/usr/bin/startxgl.sh
Type=Application

And I modify in xorg.conf the section "Extensions" changing the option "Composite" the "Enable" to "Disable".

Can I help me????

Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

Good Bye!!!

well, xgl is a slow solution in general. ati can't quite handle aiglx yet. what card do you have? and are you sure beryl is running? i know from experience that xgl is slow without a composite manager (beryl) running.
also, when you are running xgl, the glxinfo thing is normal. although i don't know the technical details, dri is broken when running xgl. you'll get the fancy wobbly windows, but no 3d games. its a good idea to maintain a seperate, non-xgl login session for games and whatnot.

Have you followed the instructions on the beryl wiki?

http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/I...eisty_with_XGL

especially the part :

Quote:
IMPORTANT -- Downgrading beryl-core to 0.2.0

The Ubuntu version of beryl-core is incompatible with Xgl. To install a version of beryl-core that works, first run:
