compiz not working in 3.4

[Tails]

The title bar disappeared whenever I start using XGL with compiz... anyone know how to fix that???

I manually run the emerald --replace and it still has the same problem.... >_<

What videocard do you have??
and try AIGLX instead of XGL
if that still doesn't work try to set another theme in emerald en start it again..

ATI card -> Express 200M, so ya stuck in XGL... lol

well.... guess what, I found the problem...

I have to type "compiz-start &" in order for it to get going, so.. it means it didn't even start the compiz.. but it is annonying tho.... how can I make it start in KDE automatically????

I have the same Problem with my laptop and the build in ATI X700

So it looks like its an ATI problem.

Idem with laptop and X1700 (XGL)

Posibility to use FGLRX rather than ATI proprio driver ?

I had the same problem, the frames weren't showing up. I fixed it by simply right clicking on the compiz-fusion icon -> select Window Decorator -> Emerald. After that the frames come up automatically everytime. Good luck!

well... actaully it doesn't.....

but what i did is make a script to start the compiz-start in KDE autostart folder and it start everytime now...

Hi, I've got the same card (ATI 200M), and a similar issue.

If i type compiz-start & on boot, i get the compiz-fusion working, however it will NOT use the emerald windows decorations, it uses the KWIN ones. if i click on the little compiz-fusion icon in the toolbar, and select emerald as the window decorator, nothing changes..

Having had this working, on Ubuntu i tried compiz --replace -c emerald & but the -c option wasn't understood, and without it the command didn't work.

so how can i get the emerald windows decorations? Its really the only thing stopping me installing 3.4a

odd..... it works for me for emerald decorations..... the only bugs I found is that, the kde menu (kick-off) crashes quite a lot.......

I've been looking for a solid linux distro for a while and a friend of mine suggested Sabayon. I just did my first install and am having some problems getting Compiz Fusion to start. I get the same problem where the title bar disappears.

When I tried to execute compiz-start &

Terminal dumps out the following:

Starting Compiz with: --replace ccp -sm-disable
compiz (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

& a prompt comes up that says:

Compiz cannot be started. Please check that you have a working and supported Video Card, OpenGL functionality or visit Sabayon Linux Support forum at: http://www.sabayonlinux.org/forum

GPU: ATI Technologies Inc M24 1P [Radeon Mobility X600]

As the error message says I have an ATI Radeon X600.


I found on another post that the developers were asking for information from a few dumps so I figured I'd include those as well

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks in advanced
