Sorry, I'm new to the list, and I've looked through the ROX Desktop website for anything in relation to AIGLX/XGL. Sorry if the following might be a question that has already been asked. Are hardware-accelerated graphics supported on ROX? Rayne PS: I've used GoboLinux, of which I am a fan (it was the first Linux distro to automatically detect my HP Pavilion's default monitor settings of 1024x768, rather than default permanently to 800x600); in fact, I write a blog for it. I came across ROX desktop by way of GoboLinux, and its interesting that both project's compliment each other. I intend to use ROX with Gobo in the future as my desktop. |

My main problem was getting ROX-Session to work with it. The problem was that (at least on Gentoo) the command I had to run was a script file called 'compiz-aiglx'. ROX-Session does not like it for some reason (see below). So I hacked my wm.py to not bother trying to manage the window manager and I just run it as a AutoStart item. WMMV (This got me curious. The script does not begin with #! or anything other than a comment. Strangeness! Bash-ism?) |

I just added #!/bin/sh as the first line and it works fine with non-hacked Session. |

I heard that Beryl, a fork of Compiz, is much more agnostic to the desktop environment that you're running at the moment. According to the Beryl FAQ<http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/FAQ/Beryl#What_is_Beryl.3F>, it: - Uses flat file backend instead of gconf meaning almost no gnome dependency. So try Beryl out <http://releases.beryl-project.org/> with ROX, if you want.

I did. compiz is eye-candy. beryl is eye-candy+crack :) Plus it is still 'unstable' in gentoo. My biggest problem now is that compiz frags my suspend to ram (won't wake up). So I'm probably back to metacity+xcompmgr for a while. Seriously, the only reason I'm using this at all is that once you get used to having shadows under the windows it is hard to go back to a flat desktop. The transparency (e.g. while moving windows) is kinda-cool and somewhat 'useful' since I can see what is underneath. The Expose feature is truly useful. The wiggly wobbly windows is just funny. I especially like how tooltips wobble as they appear. :) > Rayne > > > On 12/25/06, *Ken Hayber* < ke...@ha... <mailto:ke...@ha...>> wrote: > > Rayne Van-Dunem wrote: > > Sorry, I'm new to the list, and I've looked through the ROX Desktop > > website for anything in relation to AIGLX/XGL.
