Hi all, I'm trying xgl and compiz on my Acer TM802 (ATI Mobility 9200). All seems ok. As root I can logon into gnome and get all the effect. But, only as root. As ordinary user, the effects are not working. I've been googling around and it seems that there are other people who experience this but without clear solution. Can someone give some directions here? Much appreciated. Thank you very much. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 11:45pm up 0:35, 2.6.16.13-4-default GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org

Check /etc/X11/xorg.conf for the Section Section "DRI" Group "video" Mode 0660 EndSection And make sure, that you either are in the group video, or change the Mode to 0666. In a running system you can do that to /dev/dri/card0 (or similar, AFAIR) instead and get the same effect, until the next Xserver restart. This is only one idea, there could be other problems. Another (simpler) idea is to check gnome-xgl-settings first.

Hi Mathias, Thanks for replying. After asking at several online forum finally someone pointed me to this http://en.opensuse.org/Xgl_Troubleshooting Actually I have visited the XGL page at the wiki, but I didn't notice it. It turn out that my saved gnome session is the culprit. After deleting it, XGL works perfectly! Wow! Coooolllll!

Hey, that's a bug I didn't know yet :) Obviously, Wikis actually work ;) CU Matthias -- Matthias Hopf <mhopf@suse.de> __ __ __ Maxfeldstr. 5 / 90409 Nuernberg (_ | | (_ |__ mat@mshopf.de Phone +49-911-74053-715 __) |_| __) |__ labs www.mshopf.de
