I just emailed him about this .. lets wait for his response [snip]

some cards doesnt require the env export (eg: nvidia) .. and for fglrx, it require a LD_PRELOAD to a library file from fglrx driver package instead (I heard XGL no longer required .. I dont have any ati cards , couldnt test it) .. ref: http://forums.opencompositing.org/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=758#p6439 aiglx-default.patch and tfp-server-extension.patch already removed the requirement for LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT .. so this is no longer a problem .. those 2 patches were taken from compiz 0.3.6 src.rpm btw ..
btw. I would suggest to use --ignore-desktop-hints by default. because else compiz uses viewports *and* workspaces at the same time when started via desktop-effects ...which is just weird.
about the gnome-wm patch .. aint that need to be applied in gnome-session rpm?? .. another thing . I just added fusion-icon packages into the repo .. fusion-icon is an app similar to beryl-manager .. -- ----------------------------------------------- regards Hikaru ----------------------------------------------- Mohd Izhar Firdaus Bin Ismail Amano Hikaru 天野晃 「あまの ひかる」 mohd.izhar.firdaus@xxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------- kagesenshi.87@xxxxxxxxx Blog: http://kagesenshi.blogspot.com http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MohdIzharFirdaus ----------------------------------------------- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
