Hi,

I have several questions steaming from and recent install of beryl/compiz and xgl\aiglx?

I have it up and running on a p4HT w/FX 5500(256mb) on the ubuntu 6.06 platform. I never complied the kernel just a precompiled i686 smp kernel.

It seems to be running well, but I have some problems.

- my tv out does not work now, well it kind of works, it has the old school grey background with and x cursor, but nothing else. Is this a bug? How can I fix if not. The tv just to be a separate desktop? sort of. It was dependant in many ways on the other, but there were two system menus and such. I worked quite well. It also had 3d enabled.

-I want to be able to slowly rotate desktops on the cube, but can't seem to find out how. Like to extend a video player over the corner (two desktops)

- Why is there so little info about this stuff and is the beryl forum always slow?

- Is aiglx and xgl the same? if there a benifit of one over the other? or both on one machine? xgl is to beryl and emerald as aiglx is to... beryl and emerald too?

-when I revert back to metacity shoud I not be able to use my tv out again?

- Is there a way to just login to metacity instead of beryl?

any help appeciated

heartbeat!

Hi,

I have solved some of my problems, I found out how to do the accelerated video over two workspaces or viewpoints ..whatever.

I have discovered the difference between aiglx and xgl. Is it true ati does not support aiglx.

Anyway, I have a bunch of new problems and still one old one.

I really want to figure out how come my tv out does not work.

Here is my xorg.

It worked before beryl and beryl still works but glxinfo now says that direct rendering = no

but when I switch to metacity glxgears is like 1400-1700 FPS but if I switch to beryl it is like 4000+ FPS but still says DR = no.

Why when I switch to metacity can I not use tv out? Is it because I still am using xgl x server? and how can I make tv out work with beryl?

heartbeat?
