How to install and set up Novell Xgl graphics subsystem?
 

http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/

Go to post #37 in order to grab the almost working script. It intend to be all distro compatible but i tested it only on Slackware. I succeeded in all BUT the last step. I don't have time to continue it so feel free to make it 100% successful.

When i use ./configure --enable-xgl --enable-xglx --enable-xegl
i got:

checking Whether to build pdf documentation... yes
checking for LBXUTIL... Package lbxutil was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `lbxutil.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'lbxutil' found
configure: error: Package requirements (lbxutil) were not met:

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LBXUTIL_CFLAGS
and LBXUTIL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

-----------------------------------------------------------

And when i use ./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig --enable-xgl --enable-xglx --enable-xegl
i got:

checking for LBXUTIL... yes
checking for DRIPROTO... yes
checking for LIBDRM... Package libdrm was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libdrm.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libdrm' found
configure: error: Package requirements (libdrm) were not met:

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBDRM_CFLAGS
and LIBDRM_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

---------------------------------------------------------
Edit:
Now i use ./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig --enable-xgl --enable-xglx --enable-xegl --disable-dri
because drm seems to be a part of dri and i don't use it now. So i got:

checking for LBXUTIL... yes
checking for XPRINTPROTO... Package xau was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xau.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'xau', required by 'PrintProto', not found
checking for XDMCP... Package xdmcp was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xdmcp.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'xdmcp' found
checking for XSERVERCFLAGS... Package xtrans was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xtrans.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'xtrans' found

EDIT: ok i give up. Seems i have to install all X11 modules manually. I'll take a look at slackbuild scripts. If you have ideas...

Why don't you take a look at

http://www.hboeck.de/

and (if you want to use glxcompmgr instead of compiz)

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t...c9fa26e836d089

...
I succesfully installed xgl on a Gentoo/KDE ATI Radeon 9200 system... , emerging compiz results in a "No package 'libstartup-notification-1.0' found" error.

Maybe you know a solution? Googling for that libstartup-notification package results in lots of pages about gnome... maybe it just doesn't work for KDE?

Libstartup-notification sounds like a gnome package but i found this:
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/...tion/releases/

Thx for ideas. I'll look at that.

EDIT--------------
Found that too: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fXgl

I wrote a new script but i'm blocked at the end:

--Bump--
No progress here.

i got the CVS of xserver, and build under the
http://www.hboeck.de/item/266
then some problem come out
and i do check my configure, here it is

Hi guys, I'm trying to get xgl running also, I'm stuck on getting all the libs configured, made and installed. Some of them go okay others for example fontenc does not.

here's what I get:
I've checked around and everythign seems ok, xproto is at /opt/fdo/include/X11/xproto.h
So is that not what it's looking for or is it looking in the wrong spot?

Did you ran export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/fdo/lib/pkgconfig before ./configure (autogen)?

For my part i suceeded in xgl compile but it's not working yet.
Stay tuned.

Yes that did it, thanks.

I'll also post my progress here.

hmm, well that did it for a few, but now I get:

You have to install the proto stuff.

I have a new problem: xgl compile don't give me any Xgl executable!

hmmm, I did, but I'll do it again maybe

ok, well i started over using the script posted above here, and now i'm kinda lost cause i dont know where it's at or if it's missing something or was missplaced.
Here's a bit of the output:
