And Beryl wants more. Remember the word "dependencies"? Those may not be listed in the configure, but some may be dependenies of the other requirements.

@jimhap:

Quote:
About that compile: can you give me the options of the configure? (by ./configure --help ) You should watch when configuring for "shared libraries".


Don't worry about it: (a) I wasn't aware of the hidden header unionfs thing, and (b) I've since learned that the patch for the driver I was trying to compile has a bug preventing it from working properly with new versions of Xorg.
(c) Someone else has compiled it for me ;=)
(d) I'm sort of off-topic really (sorry) since my concern was getting a driver going with a new Xorg, not with Beryl per se.

I've done more tests on the PC with the Savage chipset and found something interesting.
Xorg looks for the DRI modules at /usr/X11R7/lib/dri/:
Code:
(==) AIGLX enabled
(II) LoadModule: "dri"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libdri.so
(II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI
(II) LoadModule: "savage"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//savage_drv.so
(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/X11R7/lib/dri/savage_dri.so failed (/usr/X11R7/lib/dri/savage_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

But is 'libGL'(MesaLibs) who look for DRI hardware drivers. Here is where my Mesa-6.5.2 build is installed:
Code:
# Installation directories (for make install)
INSTALL_DIR = /usr/X11R7
DRI_DRIVER_INSTALL_DIR = /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/dri

And glxinfo shows the DRI module as renderer(hardware):
Code:
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI ProSavageDDR 20061110 AGP 1x x86/MMX/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 6.5.2

After run beryl-manager:
Code:
sh-3.00# beryl-manager
sh-3.00# libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
**************************************************************
* Beryl system compatiblity check                            *
**************************************************************

Checking for GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap        : passed
Checking for non power of two texture support   : passed
Checking maximum texture size                   : passed (2048x2048)



Now, if I make a symlink to pass the (EE) AIGLX error.
Code:
ln -s /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/dri/ /usr/X11R7/lib/

Xorg.log won't have any error message after restart X. Though some warnings (WW):
Code:
(==) AIGLX enabled
(II) LoadModule: "dri"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libdri.so
(II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI
(II) SAVAGE(0): [drm] Enabling ShadowStatus for DRI.
(II) SAVAGE(0): [dri] visual configs initialized
(**) SAVAGE(0): DRI is enabled
(--) SAVAGE(0): Chose mode 115 at 85Hz.

(WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x31
(WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x32
(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/X11R7/lib/dri/savage_dri.so
(II) GLX: Initialized DRI GL provider for screen 0

Later, when I ran beryl-manager:
Code:
sh-3.00# beryl-manager
sh-3.00# libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b

** (beryl-manager:31066): WARNING **: Couldn't find a Selection Owner, perhaps n  o WM running?
Otherwise, manually kill your wm, and report the bug to the developers, it doesn  't follow the standards.
Falling back to looking for a defined WM in xlsclients.

Was strange, Beryl had run on a mixed mode(software and hardware renderer?), but not in hardware mode since this card in no supported.

This test was done installing Dotpups, not booting from my Puppy+Beryl CD. All these DotPups are uploaded. I'll give instructions about how to install Beryl for Intel, ATI, and other cards soon, after check if this issue(running beryl on unsupported cards) can cause more problems.

It's really good to see some guys are working on getting ATI cards to work for Beryl!

I've bought me a Palit X1950GT Super.... is there any chance that I might get this card to work with Beryl and Puppy too?

I have installed Beryl on a UsbFlashDrive (Kingston DataTraveler MiniFun 1GB) the OS is Puppy-2.16alpha, pup_save.2fs file size is 128 MB.



And I found more problems(only happens when Beryl is running):

- 2.16alpha and XFCE. Sometimes I can't drag files or folder to another filer window if 2 or more items are selected. Switching to xfwm and then beryl fix it.

- 2.14; 2.15; 2.16alpha; XFCE. Desktop flickering if Rox Pinboard is activated. Kill the pinboard to stop it.

- 2.14; 2.15; 2.16alpha; XFCE. Can't access a single window. If you kill xfdesktop, the Rox Pinboard is active and you only have one window(any type) opened.

Tip: Close, kill or disable the Pinboard to avoid these problems.

Add a Beryl launcher to the panel.

I already have an icon on the panel to start it.
which is newer xfce4 3.90 or xfce 4.2.3? I assume that it is the first one.
to add the menus in xfce I added a system menu in the menu editor I'll edit in how later not every thing is in the right place in this menu but it appears that everything is there lots of stuff palace in "other" submenu.

Smile I just had a look at Beryl (on PClinuxOS) - it is a lot of fun and pleasing to use. Can hardly wait for our smart Puppy efforts. Just to say thanks for your efforts so far, really looking forward to trying this soon Smile

Been using Sabayon 3.3 for a month now, in fact I'm on it right now and browsing with my "crippled" HSF modem at 14.4k. Turned Beryl off after 2 weeks and I just turn it on when I feel like showing off to my brother's buddies and the chicks they bring over here, hehehe. Never fails to amaze them.

BTW, Sabayon's Beryl version is 0.1.9999.2 and I don't know if I should update it or not. And the Nvidia driver that is installed by default is 96.31.

Beryl has been discontinued. As some of you may know the new project name is "Compiz Fusion" (beryl and compiz merge)

The new web site is at http://www.opencompositing.org/
