Mates, The only way I can explain this bizarre situation is just to show you what it takes to get compiz started on my Toshiba P35 laptop and leave it there. After logging in to kwin, first I try and start compiz with the same command shown with "ps ax" 00:01 Rankin-P35a~> compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --indirect-rendering --no-libgl-fallback compiz (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0 compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0 Next, of course, I have remove the /usr/lib/libIndirectGL.so.1 -> libIndirectGL.so.1.2* link. (I've done it so often, I just created a script to do it) 00:01 Rankin-P35a~> su Password: [root Rankin-P35a/home/david] # ./linux/scripts/llibi [root Rankin-P35a/home/david] # exit exit Now with the link gone, let's try again: 00:03 Rankin-P35a~> compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --indirect-rendering --no-libgl-fallback compiz (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0 compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0 Get kwin back so my decorations return: 00:03 Rankin-P35a~> kwin --replace trying '/home/david/.xcompmgrrc' as configfile finished parsing the config file Ok, now start with fusion-icon. Success, compiz is back. Now, lets see how it is running: 00:03 Rankin-P35a~> ps ax | grep compiz 3804 ?

Now with the link gone, let's try again:

Get kwin back so my decorations return:

finished parsing the config file
Ok, now start with fusion-icon. Success, compiz is back. Now, lets see how it is running:
00:03 Rankin-P35a~> ps ax | grep compiz 3804 ? S 0:01 compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --indirect-rendering --no-libgl-fallback 3807 pts/1 R+ 0:00 grep compiz
Go figure?

To qualify as a bug everyone using the software should be facing it or there is a correct method to follow which duplicates it on other systems. References: http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/HowtoSubmitBugReports http://en.opensuse.org/Bug_Reporting_FAQ daP puts it quite nicely when she says there are 50000 moving parts in compiz and it sure is a lot of work if one of them stops moving with the others.

I'm sure everyone using a Toshiba P35 is. Any evidence to the contrary? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
