hi there, first post on this list :)
i installed fedora9 preview on my lenovo thinkpad x60
the gfx chip is an intel "i945GM"
i've found when i run compiz X gets rendered all white.. i can't see a
thing.. but i can guess it's still working though:
I've got a similar result with my Macbook 2,1 (blackbook) which has the Intel
GMA 950 chipset. However I have a little difference below...
cube and scale plugin seem to respond, so i can see a white cube on a
slightly darkened white desktop ;)
.. same for "scale plugin, i see background that get darkened a bit..
Yep all the plugins and window motion, keybindings, etc, work just fine while
the screen is all white.
i've figured if i install fusion-icon and choose "indirect rendering"
setting,
my desktop is being rendered correctly :)
that's the good news.. so i can use compiz on my laptop.
it's working through that "indirect rendering option though.
Indirect Rendering does not work for me when I install fusion-icon or
compiz-fusion (either from the external repo [1] or directly from rawhide). The
problem seems to be the failure to acquire TTM support. I've meant to get his
one bugzilla'd.
The error I see is:
Failed to initialize TTM buffer manager. Falling back to classic.
Its apparently reported all over the place with intel chips if you google TTM
buffer manager. One report is at [2].
Compiz works, compiz-fusion does not. If I start up the super-basic compiz
functionality using the 'Enable Desktop Effects' dialog I can use compiz with
the cube, wobbly windows, and I have Direct Rendering enabled. I can run 3d
games (mostly) although occasionally compiz will turn all white again.
i was wondering why i had to use that indirect rendering option, and if i
can get rid of it ?
i tryed adding "i915.modeset=1" in my grub.conf,
i can report new resolution available, fast vt switching, no problem with
font rendering, and things being a bit slower than before.. it seems stable,
and it didn't helped with my problem of X being rendered all white and me
having to set "indirect rendering" .. kernel mode setting looks very
promising though :)
hum.. anyone can see a solution about my X being rendered all white and
indirect rendering option problem ?
I'd suggest doing 'yum remove compiz-fusion' and then trying to just use the
Desktop Effects. I didn't even get as far as you with fusion because indirect
rendering and loose binding both still cause the screen to go full white. I can
even still type in the terminals I had on my desktop while its white, to quit
fusion or start metacity, so its not crashing X its just displaying full
brightness (for all but the mouse cursor which I can still see move).
