<0> anyone have any issues with xcompmgr?
<0> getting gray screen and general weirdness
<0> 7900 gtx
<0> multiple window managers
<1> it's crap
<1> don't use it
<0> what's crap?
<0> xcompmgr?
<1> use e16 and its built in compositing manager
<0> enlightenment?
<1> I think meta****ty has a built in compositing manager too
<1> yes
<0> yeah, prefer use fvwm
<0> but i'll give it a try
<0> meta****ty
<0> haha



<0> using gentoo
<0> emerging enlightenment 16.8
<0> brb
<0> this isn't bad
<0> but
<0> let's see
<0> how to enable transparency
<1> it's in there somewhere
<1> turn on composite first, it's in the right click root menu
<0> same ****ing thing i gotf rom xcompgr
<0> screne flashing
<0> windows hidden
<0> incredibly slow
<0> disabled
<0> and back to normal
<0> any ideas?
<1> heh
<1> "Why yes, I have many ideas"
<0> yeah, the fades are really really bad
<1> and you're using the nvidia driver?
<1> nv != nvidia, btw
<0> yeah
<0> 8756
<0> nvidia
<0> x 7.0.0
<0> in xorg.conf i have renderaccel on
<0> backingstore on
<1> backingstore?
<1> hrmm
<0> and going to try allowglxwithcomposite
<0> but shouldn't be necessary with this version of the driver
<0> also, this is triplehead system
<1> I see how "backingstore" in the nvidia docs...
<0> 2 video cards
<0> it's an X option
<0> but let me try turning it off
<0> brb again
<1> ok
<0> no diff
<1> bogus
<0> let's try without xinerama
<1> look in your log
<0> already have
<0> nothing
<0> trying X with only one display
<0> seems actually workable
<0> with 1
<0> yea, no issues with 1 display
<0> trying 2
<0> no problems with 2 without xinerama
<0> trying with xinerama
<0> it's xinerama
<0> dog *** slow/unusable
<0> flickering screen
<0> etc.
<0> http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=209039&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=x+org&start=775
<0> apparently not just me
<0> doesn't look like i'ts an nvidia problem
<0> looks like it's X
<0> but not sure why just me
<0> But note that Xinerama and TwinView don't play well with Composite, so, for now, you can either use dual-head or Composite.



<0> gota love that
<0> oh even better
<0> Composite/Xinerama integration
<0> that's on hte ideas list
<0> on the x.org wiki
<0> so i guess no xinerama and composite
<0> well, thanks for your help Primer
<0> appreciate it
<2> wtf
<3> hello
<4> hello
<4> what is the best combat flight sim for linux ?
<4> maybe just non-combat
<1> xplane
<1> www.x-plane.com
<4> what about flightgear is that one good ?
<1> sure
<4> i noticed some good fps games referenced from http://www.linuxactionshow.com/
<4> think i'm gonna give a few of them a try
<2> SK1000, try doom 3/quake 4
<4> i got ut2k4 installed and the doom3 demo
<4> i know my system is fast cause i get like 200fps in ut2k4 without AA
<4> i got this issue with my desktop looking kinda washed out
<4> not sure if it is my monitor or something else
<4> but the icons on the desktop for example look kinda blurry and stuff
<4> i adjust my contrast up, and it makes them look better but makes other things so bright and unrealistic
<4> this isn't a symptom of 1600x1200 is it?
<2> SK1000, what specs
<4> viewsonic g220fb and 6800xt
<4> i mean it's not horribly bad, just my 17" viewsonic with an fx5200 looks tons better
<4> the pixels are the same size on a big monitor as on a small monitor right.... ?
<4> hmm i found a setting
<4> sync to display of this device: and it had my monitor listed
<4> that made it a little better
<4> digital vibrance and image sharpening seem worthless too much tradeoff imo. anyone think this way ?
<2> heh
<4> like i turn image sharpening on and the higher i go the thicker the lines around different colors gets
<4> and digital vibrance just makes things look all psychodelic and cartoonish
<4> 4x AA and 2x AF is pretty cool
<5> anyone here using twinview and xgl
<5> or just twinview
<2> heh
<6> whats going on
<7> anyone here use ubuntu
<8> hi, i'm reading the nvidia README, appendix E (opengl environment variable settings), and i wonder where i have to put those options (eg: __GL_FSAA_MODE )
<8> is it in xorg.conf as option "__GL_FSAA_MODE " "integer"?
<9> you need to do: export __GL_FSAA_MODE='value' in the terminal from which you want to run your app
<9> but I wouldn't use these variables
<9> nvidia-settings is much easier
<9> it uses a better mechanism for setting options like fsaa
<8> nvidia-settings doesn't work...
<8> ERROR: NV-CONTROL extension not found on this Display.
<9> are you sure the nvidia drivers are properly installed
<9> oh, wait
<9> are you using XGL?
<8> yeah
<9> then it is normal that it won't work
<9> XGL is an Xserver running inside an Xserver
<9> the 'host' Xserver has NV-CONTROL and other extensions
<9> the XGL 'client X-server' only supports a few extensions
<8> i see, so i will have to use the export commands then?
<9> you would need to set __GL_FSAA_MODE or run nvidia-settings BEFORE starting XGL itself
<9> but I'm not sure how well it will work
<9> considering XGL itself is also an opengl program
<9> it might make your desktop look bad
<9> I wouldn't play games using XGL
<8> i found the reference to these variables in a wiki, as proven to work
<9> (XGL causes a performance drop)
<8> i don't play games under linux, i use windows for that :-)
<8> it's still better
<9> why do you want FSAA then?
<8> but thnx for the info
<8> fonts etc?
<9> it isn't for that
