Howto install xgl with glxcompmgr and fancy effects

Warning: By following the instructions below, you are probalby replacing some base libs from your system (mesa, glitz). This can and will seriously break your whole system if you don't know what you're doing. You may likely face other problems than I, so be prepared to play around yourself if you try this.

Ok, now for the fun part. Xgl is some experimental code for the next generation of X systems, with rendering completely done in OpenGL. Recently, David Reveman presented some major updates of the xgl-code. The instructions should be generic so you can do this on any distribution, however if you're using Gentoo, it'll be much easier, because you can get my xgl-overlay containing ebuilds for everything you need (get xgl-overlay-xxxx.tar.bz2 from here, I'll put up updated versions if neccessary). Non-Gentooers should also fetch this tarball, cause it contains all patches you'll need to follow the instructions.
I did this with an ATI Radeon 9200, till now this only works with the proprietary drivers from ATI or Nvidia. I haven't tried this with Nvidia, but it should work mostly the same way.
  1. First you need a system based on the modular X version, that means Xorg 7.0. Gentoo users read this, others don't ask me, ask your distribution.
  2. Now configure your X to use the fglrx-driver (ATI owners) or the nvidia-driver with Direct Rendering activated (check with glxinfo). I'm not going into detail, there are enough instructions for that out there.
  3. Get a cvs-version of glitz and replace your local glitz-installation with it (Gentooers: use ebuild from overlay). I didn't face any problems with my normal system by doing this, but this may differ.
  4. Get a cvs-version of mesa. David Reveman has posted some patches with the xgl-release you'll need to apply (mesa-glx-x11-get-drawable-attribs-fix-1.diff, mesa-glx-x11-render-texture-5.diff, r200-copy-pixels-1.patch). The render-texture-Patch needs some constants that were nowhere defined on my system. I've written an ugly workaround (mesa-glx-x11-glxproto-defines.diff), this is probably not the correct/nice way to do, but at least it works. After applying those four patches, compile and install. Gentooers use my ebuild as before, it already contains all patches. As with glitz, I had no problems with my normal system using mesa-cvs, but don't count on this.
  5. Fetch the kdrive/xserver-cvs. Configure with
    ./configure --enable-xglserver --enable-glx --with-mesa-source=[point to your mesa-cvs-tree]
    Gentooers use the xgl-ebuild (This contains some ugly hack for the Mesa-cvs-tree, which assumes that you've built mesa before and the mesa-cvs lays in your distfiles. Better solutions welcome.)
  6. Get glxcompmgr from xorg cvs. autogen.sh failed for me due to an error in plugins/Makefile.am, apply my patch (glxcompmgr-makefile-am-fix.diff). Gentooers use the ebuild ;-)
  7. Now, you've everything installed. You can now start
    Xgl :1 -ac -accel xv:pbuffer -accel glx:pbuffer (ATI users)
    or
    Xgl :1 -ac -accel xv -accel glx:pbuffer (Nvidia users)
  8. Now start some apps in it. My experiences was it crashes less often with Gnome stuff, konsole and xterm completely crashed xgl. I managed to run complete gnome and kde-sessions. glxcompmgr doesn't really work with some windowmanagers (e.g. icewm), but kwin and metacity at least work. To start something inside the xgl, do something like:
    DISPLAY=:1 metacity
  9. Now for glxcompmgr. This is a bit complicated, because you'll need to run glxcompmgr with the libGL from mesa/xorg, while your xserver and the xgl running on it need the libGL from the proprietary driver. Suggestion is running a terminal with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, e.g.
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ DISPLAY=:1 gnome-terminal
    Then, inside xgl and the terminal, you can check with glxinfo if GLX_MESA_render_texture is listed in GLX extensions. It is not enough if it's only listed on server glx extensions! If this is the case, you probably didn't point it to mesa-libGL correctly.
  10. Now run glxcompmgr, e.g. with the wobbly and shadow plugin.
    glxcompmgr wobbly shadow
    glxcompmgr contains a bunch of more plugins, but most of them I failed to figure out how to start the actual effect (e. g. cube). Play around with it, have fun.

Problems so far:
  • Crashes all the time.
  • Keyboard sometimes doesn't work, not deterministic.
  • Most effects (e. g. cube, expose, zoom) not running yet.

Update:
I just found a problem some people had according to a portage bug. I've put a fixed portage-ebuild into the overlay (this may lead to problems if portage-devs decide to release an update called 2.1_pre3-r2).

Surely you mean "install nvidia with the nvidia proprietary driver" and not DRI? The proprietary nvidia driver doesn't use DRI.
#1 Daniel Ceregatti (Homepage) on 2006-01-13 20:17 (Reply)
The xgl ebuild is horribly broken for me.

I had to modify the ebuild to inherit eutils (since epatch won't work otherwise) and I had to change
cp -r ${DISTDIR}/cvs-src/Mesa .
to
cp -r /usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src/Mesa .
#2 C.MAC on 2006-01-14 13:20 (Reply)
Can you please try the updated version and see if this works?
I'm not sure why it doesn't resolve the DISTDIR-var for you, but others had the same problem.
#2.1 Hanno (Homepage) on 2006-01-14 15:31 (Reply)
The ebuild works fine now.

Maybe the problem with the DISTDIR var occurs with the new portage Version.

I'm on ~x86 (portage-2.1_pre3-r1).
#2.1.1 C.MAC on 2006-01-14 15:48 (Reply)
I managed to get Xgl running on Ubuntu, taking a slightly different route from you. I've put up some notes at http://nullinfinity.org/XglPage.html .

Just like you, I can't get the glxcompmgr cube effect running, though.

I had to add --disable-kserver to get xserver/xgl to compile, (and --disable-ipv6 to get rid of some error messages) but now I'm getting the following error:

--disable-kdriveserver I meant.
#6.1 ianegg on 2006-01-17 15:27 (Reply)
It turns out this is related to _XSERVER64 not being defined in the right places. I added -D_XSERVER64 to my CFLAGS and everything works fine.
#6.2 ianegg on 2006-01-19 00:25 (Reply)
Hanno, thanks a lot for your ebuilds and this howto!

While I also had some trouble getting the cube/rotate, expose, and zoom plugins to run, they are actually working very nice. The issue seems to be that Xgl (or glxcompmgr) doesn't receive the proper key events, so the default keyboard shortcuts need to be changed. Here is a simple howto for changing the shortcuts:

1. Run *glxcompmgr* *gconf* *cube* *expose* *fade* *rotate* *shadow* *wobbly* *zoom* - the gconf plugin lets you use gconf to change the defaults
2. Run *gconf-editor* and locate the folder */apps/gnome-composite/plugins/*
3. Change the shortcuts for each plugin, for example change *zoom/screen0/options/initiate/value* to *[Control]Button3*
4. Use your new shortcut in Xgl (there's no need to restart Xgl nor glxcompmgr)

I found the following modifiers working: [Shift], [Control], [ModeSwitch], and [NumLock]. The [Super] (Windows-key) modifier, used for most of the default shortcuts, does *not* work (at least on my system).
Furthermore, no keys are working, only mouse buttons and scroll, i.e. Button1..5.

*Note:* This comment system doesn't seem to be able to handle "less than" and "greater than" symbols. So [ should be read as "less than" and ] as "greater than".
#7 Lars T. Mikkelsen on 2006-01-18 23:45 (Reply)
Thanks for that! I don't have Gnome installed, and didn't want all the dependencies for gconf-edit, but gconftool-2 can also be used, though it's a little confusing at first.

eg.
gconftool-2 --spawn
glxcompmgr gconf cube rotate zoom wobbly shadow fade
gconftool-2 --type=string --set /apps/gnome-composite/plugins/zoom/screen0/options/initiate/value '[Control]Button3'

(for a list: gconftool-2 -R /apps/gnome-composite )

I had no problem using Ctrl with most buttons on the keyboard. Some combinations don't work with certain modifier keys though.

echecking for DRIPROTO... configure: error: Package requirements (xf86driproto) were not met:

No package 'xf86driproto' found

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

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

#11 fank on 2006-01-21 22:25 (Reply)
It could be because the ebuild disabled xkb. Edit the xgl edit and change --disable-xkb to --enable-xkb and see if anything changes. emerge will complain that the ebuild doesn't match anymore, just use emerge --digest xgl

I have some problems with my keyboard mapping. Something seems to be wrong with xkb as no dead keys work (also F10 brings up the right MB menu in gnome-terminal which is normally sent to the app running within according to my settings).
While playing around with xgl a few days ago I also saw an error regarding this but I can't get the message at the moment and I forgot what it was exactly, sorry (Something about a missing Xkbsomething extension iirc).
Somebody got a clue what goes on?
#12 belgabor on 2006-01-22 04:29 (Reply)
The overlay update fixed this issue :-)

All in all my comments on 200601212 (and current mesa/glitz/xgl cvs):
_Pro:_
- Xkb issue fixed
- Some apps that didn't work do now (xterm)
_Con:_
- Some windows that shouldn't be focused (gkrellm2 set to be skipped) are now activated in glxcompmgr (selectable in expose, wobble when the cursor goes over them). This was correct with the old builds/cvs.
_Unchanged:_
- qt apps crash xgl
#12.1 belgabor on 2006-01-23 15:08 (Reply)
One I missed:
_Pro:_
- glxcompmgr now honors the gnome panels, i.e. 'normal' windows no longer overlap them, maximising works as it should.
#12.1.1 belgabor on 2006-01-23 15:16 (Reply)
I had a few problems with the glitz ebuild on gentoo. autoconf was complaining about some text files being in lowercase (news, copying ect). Im not sure if im only having this problem so i just edited the ebuild to fix this. Perhapse you need to do so also ?
#13 Michael (Homepage) on 2006-01-22 10:44 (Reply)
I have the same problem:

#13.1 Anonymous on 2006-01-24 17:41 (Reply)
KDE was working perfectly with previous build, now widgets and other parts of the screen are corrupted or have black backgrounds, glxcompmgr simply produces a black screen.

With just xterm running, glxcompmgr causes the xterm window to be drawn black, but when kwin is started, the black windows will wobble, have shadows and fade in/out, and all the other effects work.

Keyboard works properly now though.

I noticed the ebuild has been changed to use MesaLib-6.4.1, so I fiddled around but can't get it to compile with the cvs sources.

I have experienced these odd problems :
when compiling using Mesa-6.4.1 make finishes successfully, but Xgl fails at start saying

and when compiling using CVS Mesa make fails as follows:

following your howto and a thread in the gentoo forums i managed to compile all this stuff. modular Xorg working like a charm right now... but Xgl does not work.
i have to add that i am trying to get this to work on a MSI notebook with an Intel 915GM graphics chip...
perhaps this maybe the reason.

when i try to start Xgl it comes up and for a little moment i can see the standard x-server background with a mouse cursor but then the screen blanks and it drops me back to the console with the following error:

I had the same problem, I start Xgl as follows:

sleep 1
echo "======= COMPIZ ==========="

sleep 1
echo "======= GNOME ============"

The important part: LD_LIBRARY_PATH points first to the ati OpenGL implementaion and afterwards to the xorg-x11 implementation.... I don't know why I have to start it in that way.

xglserver ebuild 20060215 fails with the following:
* Failed Patch: xgl-arbshader-symlink-2.diff !
* ( /usr/portage/x11-base/xgl/files/xgl-arbshader-symlink-2.diff )
*
* Include in your bugreport the contents of:
*
* /var/tmp/portage/xgl-20060215/temp/xgl-arbshader-symlink-2.diff-29339.out

Is it just me or is this latest overlay broken?

when compiling xgl, it fails with the following errors:

s_arbshader.c:35:27: slang_utility.h: No such file or directory
s_arbshader.c:36:24: slang_link.h: No such file or directory

Which package adds these?
#30 Dave Pyke on 2006-02-27 21:57 (Reply)
s_arbshader.c:35:27: slang_utility.h: No such file or directory
s_arbshader.c:36:24: slang_link.h: No such file or directory

these files come from Mesa
I have the same errors and don't seem to find a way to fix that
they are both present in /opt/cvs/Mesa/src/mesa/shader/slang/

If you find a way please let me know ! thanks !
#30.1 temis on 2006-03-04 14:31 (Reply)

After updating to the current version 20060323 of Xgl i can not execute "Xgl" anymore.

(*# emerge xgl && Xgl*)
[... emerges xgl]

bash: Xgl: command not found

Hi, I-m A Gentoo user. I installed modular Xorg first and then I tried to configure my GeForce4 MX 440 so I tried to emerge nvidia-glx but when I try to do so this is what appear:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[blocks B ] >=x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.99 (is blocking media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.8762)
[ebuild N ] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.8762 USE="dlloader" 0 kB


how can I solve the problem?

Thanks

checking for GCONF... yes
configure: error: app-glxcompmgr is now maintained at:

does anyone in here know of a way to use the mesa-glx packages with the radeon driver to get direct rendering under Xgl?
