if test -x $glxinfo -a -x $compiz; then if $glxinfo | grep -q GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap ; then if test "$gdm" = "yes" ; then $compiz --sm-disable decoration fade place & if test -x $gwd ; then $gwd --minimal & fi fi fi fi seems to hang booting into graphics. Killing glxinfo at this state is the trick to go on further.
1st: the first test returns 1 _if_ $glxinfo _and_ $compiz can be resolved as existing executables. if one of them are not found the insided statements will not be executed and evaluated. 2nd: if $compiz is _not_ installed this test gives 0 and $glxinfo is _not_ executed (next inner if). 3rd: that's the item for SUSE/ATI: glxinfo hangs at the first invocation after boot, you have to ^C (or kill) this first run. All other runs will run fine. As I don't use compiz on my particular hardware (9700 Mobility) I did a rpm -e compiz and then I could start my notebook into graphics. Please note: this has nothing to do with the compiz package. Just removing it leads to "-x $compiz" evaluating to 0. The crux is the first call of glxinfo. It just hangs. BUT: IMO this is an ATI/AMD issue. glxinfo with the radeon driver returns without hang. This is with fglrx 8.42 and 8.43. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
