Xgl vs. gdm vs. gnome-session (how to make it works)

So, as the packages not ready now for simple usage i write my modifications to gnome/Xgl/GDM running as default.

First. You need to find /etc/gdm/gdm.conf

Search for this:

0=Standard
#0=Standard

Replace #0=Standard to this:
#0=xgl

Now move down until this:
[server-Standard]
name=Standard server
command=/usr/bin/X -audit 0
flexible=true

And append these lines (NOW ONLY FOR NVIDIA USERS!!!) :

[server-xgl]
name=Xgl server
command=/usr/bin/Xgl -accel xv -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:fbo -ac -kb -audit 0 -br
flexible=true

This is done. If you want to switch your GDM to Xgl you need to comment out 0=Standard (as you saw before) and decomment 0=xgl then restart (init 3 && init 4)

If you are using gnome, you need to hack /usr/bin/gnome-session because you want "csilli-villi" effects.

Put this to gnome-session after:

export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS

# Hacks for Xgl
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/mesa-cvs/lib/" compiz --replace gconf decoration wobbly fade minimize cube rotate zoom scale move resize place switcher opacity &
gnome-window-decorator &

AND before!!! :


gnome-session.bin

If you are ready with this, then you can login with your username and password to gnome. And everything should be fine :)

(This will be automaticed in future)

BUG:

- In gnome the workspace switcher and thumbnailer applet looks baad. Missing borders between workspaces. This is know, but don't know how to solve right now :)

for my i810 card, the server command line had to be:
command=/usr/bin/Xgl -accel xv -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:pbuffer -ac -kb -audit 0 -br
