i was installing xgl to my laptop. it has ATI X700 VGA. i followed the following steps which is given in this site. <a href="http://fedoraxgl.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Installation_en">http://fedoraxgl.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Installation_en </a> <h2>Install Fedora Xgl Repository:</h2> # rpm -Uvh <a href="http://fedoraxgl.tuxfamily.org/repository/fedora-xgl-repository-1.0-3.noarch.rpm" class="external free" title="http://fedoraxgl.tuxfamily.org/repository/fedora-xgl-repository-1.0-3.noarch.rpm" rel="nofollow"> http://fedoraxgl.tuxfamily.org/repository/fedora-xgl-repository-1.0-3.noarch.rpm</a> <h2>Import GPG Key</h2> # rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-AL-CAPCOM <h2>Install Xgl and Compiz packages: </h2><h2># yum --enablerepo=fedora-xgl install compiz xorg-x11-server-Xgl </h2>--------------------------------------------- Result of this Command: Package xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386.rpm is not signed Installation Failed :( May try cd /var/cache/yum/fedora-xgl/packages rpm -ivh * (actually may need to rpm -ivh one by one...) Just to get you by change in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-xgl.repo gpgcheck=1 to gpgcheck=0 Run the yum command above again. ------------------------------------------------------------------- so exactly the above happend. so i yumed each package seperatly with -ivh. But while installing xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386.rpm the following occurred. [root@localhost packages]# rpm -ivh xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libglitz-glx.so.1 is needed by xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386 libglitz.so.1 is needed by xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386 when i google theres s no such package available. Instead wut i got downloaded to my machine is (by running this command # yum --enablerepo=fedora-xgl install compiz xorg-x11-server-Xgl ) glitz-0.5.6-3.fc5.i386.rpm glitz-glx-0.5.6-3.fc5.i386.rpm libsvg-0.1.4-4.fc5.i386.rpm libsvg-cairo-0.1.6-3.fc5.i386.rpm ------------------------ Any how i managed continue with the packages which got downloaded to my machine. now when i type $ gnome-xgl-info ----------------------------------------------------------- <h2>This is wut i should get... </h2><h2>This command must return, it's like that: </h2> <pre> G ATI Technologies 1 kmod-nvidia is installed for the kernel release 1.2111_FC5 1 -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv </pre> Explanation the return of gnome-xgl-info: <ul><li> First line is: </li></ul> <pre> CardStatus [CardName] where CardStatus is: G(ood), B(ad), S(low), or U(nknown) </pre> <ul><li> Second line is: </li></ul> <pre> 3DStatus [Missing or installed Packages] where 3DStatus is 0 or 1 </pre> <ul><li> Third line is: </li></ul> <pre> XglStatus [RecommendedOptions] where XglStatus is 0 or 1 and RecommendedOptions is set if the hardware is detected as compatible. </pre>---------------------------------------------------------------- But the results shows this cat: /etc/sysconfig/xgl/status: No such file or directory G ATI Technologies 0 kmod-fglrx is not installed for the kernel release 1.2054_FC5 0 -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:pbuffer Any idea how to proceed to the next stage from hear :( -- Gayal Rupasinghe SRI LANKA (SU-APIIT)
