i was installing xgl to my laptop. it has ATI X700 VGA.
i followed the following steps which is given in this site.
http://fedoraxgl.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Installation_en
Install Fedora Xgl Repository: # rpm -Uvh
http://fedoraxgl.tuxfamily.org/repository/fedora-xgl-repository-1.0-3.noarch.rpm
Import GPG Key # rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-AL-CAPCOM
Install Xgl and Compiz packages:# yum --enablerepo=fedora-xgl install compiz
xorg-x11-server-Xgl---------------------------------------------
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 at 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
-----------------------------------------------------------
This is wut i should get...
This command must return, it's like that:
G ATI Technologies
1 kmod-nvidia is installed for the kernel release 1.2111_FC5
1 -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv
Explanation the return of gnome-xgl-info:
- *First line is:*
CardStatus [CardName]
where CardStatus is: G(ood), B(ad), S(low), or U(nknown)
- *Second line is:*
3DStatus [Missing or installed Packages]
where 3DStatus is 0 or 1
- *Third line is:*
XglStatus [RecommendedOptions]
where XglStatus is 0 or 1 and RecommendedOptions is set if the
hardware is detected as compatible.
----------------------------------------------------------------
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 :(
