Hi all,
As there were a number of issues that were asked a dozen times or so, I
finnally included a FAQ in the Xgl wiki.
Please mail me if you know of any issues that are not addressed yet, and
which are *not* of the sort "How do I use XYZ" or "How do I install XYZ",
which should be handled by the HowTos.

Thanks

Just wanted to report, that with Nvidia Fx5200 Xgl and Xinerama works like charm :-) -- Üdvözlettel -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen, Marcel Hilzinger

Excellent, duly noted! Now, I need to find a convenient way to launch a ut2004 or q3a session on an xorg server from within an xgl session. Joe

q3 at least works on top of Xgl very well, as I've shown on LinuxTag.

So the question is, what's different in your setup as compared to mine? I can launch q3a on an xgl desktop, but instead of getting an 800x600 full screen q3a session, I get an tiny 800x600 window at the top left corner of the desktop. The 800x600 q3a window captures the mouse and keyboard, and can't be moved or resized. The game is playable, but with strange appearance - for instance, instead of floor textures, I see a solid black floor. This is a Toshiba Tecra M2 laptop with the following video card: nVidia Corporation NV34M [GeForce FX Go5200 32M/64M] (rev a1) and nvidia 1.0-8756 driver. J Sloan

Ok, so this is only about screen size? Xgl does support DGA at the moment (AFAIR the accrynom correctly ;) . I was using q3a in windowed mode without grabbing mouse and keyboard. If you want to play full-screen on 800x600, try xrandr -s 800x600 ; q3a ; xrandr -s 0

Not for me, this worked perfectly.
Maybe you want to try to run it with the Mesa OpenGL libraries, as there
are issues with using NVidia's libraries on top of Xgl (you still need
NVidia's libraries for runing Xgl itself). Otherwise you can disable
multitexture support (forgot the switch command in q3), then it will
work as well. This seems to be a bug in NVidia's libGL.

No it doesn't. Xgl has no idea of Xinerama.
Xgl does work with merged framebuffer or Xinerama Xorg configurations,
but it does not provide any Xinerama extension to user applications.
E.g. you will get your login screen split on both monitors.

Right. Nevertheless KDE looks fine and the "cube" is just wonderful. So it works somehow, but not perfectly. -- Üdvözlettel -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen, Marcel Hilzinger
