Just got into Sabayon...

[m1ndctrl]

Hello Folks,

I'm just stepping into Sabayon linux from Gentoo, Fedora and other distro's.

So Sabayon didn't auto-config my card (intel i810) to work out of the box but with some editting of xorg.conf and tinkering I managed to get compiz fusion loading at least.

However, I'm having some trouble getting it to operate properly; for example, when it loads many shadows are white borders around menu's and windows, also window contents are not always visible nor clickable.

I think this is related to the warning I get when I run compiz-start:

Code: Select all

libGL Warning: 3d driver claims to not support visual 0x73.

I have read this having to do something with cachelines or another and there being too little ram allotted to the 3d drivers.

I'm kinda lost and too busy to spend days on this to solve it, can anyone help?

Mind you I have had beryl running on Gentoo, Ubuntu and Fedora on this very laptop - so I know it does work - unless compiz-fusion is THAT much different. Regardless in the end though as I had ubuntu with compiz-fusion running on this very laptop too.

Fresh install?

I would seriously get the C-F updated, try that first. The default C-F on install seems to have issues period.

Alright well I tried to update but after running

Code: Select all

fusionupdate.sh merge

I get this error upon trying to emerge compiz-9999:

I don't understand what the problem is - looks like something is wrong on the server end? anybody have any ideas - greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

[wolfden]

yea, looks like server issues, just have to try laters

Alright, well I did the update and I'm still experiencing weird problems.

When I launch the compiz-fusion icon and it loads compiz fusion the cube and other effects seem to work ok but nothing renders in windows.

i.e. I'll open up my home directory and the windows opens but the menu's and directories aren't rendered - furthermore on some windows where it does render it still won't let me use anything in the window - none of it is clickable.

Does anybody have any idea what might be causing this?
