I'll try to provide xdeltas; if I ever get to download the 1.0 iso.

it would be pretty useless...everything changed...so you would save just a bunch of mb from 1.0 to 1.1 this is why I didn't do it myself and also removed 1.0 iso...also they were pretty buggy...this should be far better

How to Compiz-Fusion with PE

There is two methods I will use for this. One involves changing the arch and the other uses keywords. You can decide which method to use. Just be aware that change the arch effects all future usage of package management as it pulls unstable packages.

Method 1 - Changing the arch
Remember that changing the arch effects which packages you install from here on out. IMHO it is better to use Method 2 if you want to keep stable branch.

Before starting you need to:
su to root, so:

Code: Select all

su

Code: Select all

emerge --sync && layman -S

after that, if you are an ATI user, you need to update your ati-drivers to use AIGLX so:

Code: Select all

emerge ati-drivers && ln -s /usr/lib/opengl/ati/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 && emerge desktop-acceleration-helpers

Code: Select all

nano /etc/make.conf

You need to change the following line:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86"

change it to

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"

note if you're running 64 bit that it will be different, use common sense here, we are only interested in adding the ~
hit cntrl x to close, hit Y when asked to save. You can also run kdesu konqueror if you need a gui method instead of nano, use same paths and directions of editing.

Now we need to unmask x11-misc/desktop-acceleration-helpers in /etc/portage/package.mask

Code: Select all

nano /etc/portage/package.mask

find the line with x11-misc/desktop-acceleration-helpers and delete that line
hit cntrl x to close, hit Y when asked to save.

Time to setup compiz-fusion, simply do:

Code: Select all

echo "x11-apps/fusion-icon qt4" >> /etc/portage/package.use

Ready for install:

Code: Select all

emerge desktop-acceleration-helpers compiz-fusion && aiglx-setup enable

That will install every thing you need, all you need to do after that is done is restart X

Method 2 - Using Package Keywords
Before starting you need to:
su to root, so:

Code: Select all

su

Code: Select all

emerge --sync && layman -S

after that, if you are an ATI user, you need to update your ati-drivers to use AIGLX so:

Code: Select all

emerge ati-drivers && ln -s /usr/lib/opengl/ati/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1

Let's unmask x11-misc/desktop-acceleration-helpers in /etc/portage/package.mask

Code: Select all

nano etc/portage/package.mask

find the line with x11-misc/desktop-acceleration-helpers and delete that line
hit cntrl x to close, hit Y when asked to save.

setup fusion-icon

Code: Select all

echo "x11-apps/fusion-icon qt4" >> /etc/portage/package.use

Now all we have to do is edit our /etc/portage/package.keywords file

Code: Select all

nano /etc/portage/package.keywords

add the following to this file

x11-wm/compiz ~x86
x11-libs/libcompizconfig ~x86
dev-python/compizconfig-python ~x86
x11-apps/fusion-icon ~x86
x11-libs/compiz-bcop ~x86
x11-plugins/compiz-fusion-plugins-main ~x86
x11-libs/compizconfig-backend-gconf ~x86
x11-plugins/compiz-fusion-plugins-extra ~x86
x11-libs/compizconfig-backend-kconfig ~x86
x11-apps/ccsm ~x86
x11-wm/emerald ~x86
x11-themes/emerald-themes ~x86
x11-wm/compiz-fusion ~x86
dev-python/sip ~x86
dev-python/PyQt4 ~x86

All set now for install

Code: Select all

emerge desktop-acceleration-helpers compiz-fusion && aiglx-setup enable

That will install every thing you need, all you need to do after that is done is restart X

Happy C-F in PE!

Thanks!!! I really like the new Sabayon PE 1.1 I'm running it now, and thanks for the compiz fusion info Wolfden. :)

Ugh, why is the .md5 on the torrent? It makes it a multi-file torrent making it harder to seed an existing file (since the BT client would usually create a folder), and there is no real need for it, torrents have built-in verification...

So far total in 1000 MB: out 695 MB; so yeah it's not worth it.

I had the hope to find new things in this release of sabayon, but i found some new problems i did not have before (3.4 mini edition).

I own an Acer 7520-5626 from Mexico, it had and atheros AR5007EG, nVidia 7000m, HDA.

Well the problems start at the installation time, it hangs!!!!!!!!!!! a black screen appears!!!!! after selection on the main menu the first option, so i discovered that if i pressed the power button the installation continued, and then, when selecting the "Latin american layout" for keyboard, it takes thee Arabic language!!!!!!!!!!!, well i had to select "Spain" layout....and after i while, i was waiting to solve my problems with the wireless, sound card and camara, but thing got worse!!!!!!, when the installation finish, at the moment to choose "Sabayon" (when booting) that BLACK screen appears again!!!!!!!!!!!, and once again the power button (just one time) and the Sabayon screen appears, but when the login screen is ready, the keyboard DOES NOT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, so, i could not log on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.


What is happening???????
