Knight' Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Yikes, looks great but I don't want to install it just yet incase it breaks my system. I'll wait for the final release :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/204593-howto-get-xorg-cvs-running/page/2/#findComment-584398690 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyT Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 From make World: bison -y -d pswparser.y /bin/sh: line 1: bison: command not found I guess I have to install bison as well. Put it on the list with autoconf, cvs, gcc... I have a question... Why is it that I want to install something, if that something is lets say at CD1, it asks CD2, then CD4, then CD3 and then CD1? It doesn't read anything from the other 3 cds, stupid Mandrake 10...

Knight' Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 hey guys, I finally plucked up the courage to install it. And it's GREAT! These shadows are NICE and transparency. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to get windows to automatically go transparent when I drag them (in gnome 2.6.3) and how to get xcompmgr to run at startup? And has anyone noticed during window minimzation small black lines left on the desktop? I'm using the .905 release...They go away when you drag a window over it.

BaronGanut Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Hail! I have installed the 6.7.99.904 release of X.org and I got translucency and shadows working, however it is really bad performance, when moving the windows they lag like hell aswell as switching between them. My computer: 700++ mb ram 1,4 ghz amd athlon ati radeon 7200 It doesn't seem like you have this problem but does anyone know anything?

markwolfe Veteran Posted September 7, 2004 Veteran Share Posted September 7, 2004 Are you using the optimized ATI drivers? I know that graphics rendering is slow on my PC if I don't use the nVidia drivers.

moomoofish Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 thanks kjordan, i'd missed that in my frustration and was looking at gcc. i think i might have a bash with the official release instead and see if that gives me any joy instead :happy: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/204593-howto-get-xorg-cvs-running/page/2/#findComment-584566305 Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Sullivan Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Alright I have it all installed and it all works fine... until I enable the composite manager in xorg.conf. When I have the composite manager enabled, in flux I seemingly don't have "layers." So basically, I can't bring a window into focus, they stay in order on the desktop from the time the window was opened, and I can't bring any to the front. Also, when I start up xcompmgr, windows "stick." I don't know any better way to put this. When I move a window, the window moves, but it leaves it's print where it was previously. I hope you can understand that in those terms. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
