xorg-x11-server-Xorg - 1.3.0.0-42.fc8.i386 broke my compiz-fusion (borders gone)

Tine · #1 27th February 2008, 12:48 PM

After updating xorg-x11-server-Xorg to 1.3.0.0-42.fc8.i386 and restarting computer i lost my windows decorations and borders from compiz-fusion. So i didn't have titlebar or window frame anymore.
I'm using latest compiz-fusion from http://www.dfm.uninsubria.it/compiz/fusion/i386/

Solution:

Code:

wget http://koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/xorg-x11-server/1.3.0.0/40.fc8/i386/xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-40.fc8.i386.rpm
rpm -U --oldpackage xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-40.fc8.i386.rpm

and restarted X and voila, i had window borders back.

So this update screws up something atleast in my configuration, anyone else with same problem?

I haven't noticed any problems with xorg-x11-server-Xorg.1.3.0.0-42.fc8.i386 or xorg-x11-server-Xorg.1.3.0.0-42.fc8.x86_64 with my nvidia setup .

Tine · #3 27th February 2008, 10:19 PM

i reinstalled all packages and removed old configs also. Same problem still occurs with latest xserver
fusion-icon gives me this error in terminal while changing window manager from gnome to compiz

compiz (core) - Fatal: glXCreateContext failed
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

My xorg.conf config is:

# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Screen"

Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"

EndSubSection
EndSection

But i wonder that it can't be the problem because it worked before update??

I think it may be your xorg.conf

After applying your suggested 32bit xorg.conf, i had an error that no monitor0 found or something.
Then i modified my xorg.conf to look like this:

Code:

# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

	Identifier     "Default Layout"
	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0

	Option	    "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "nvidia"
	VendorName  "NVIDIA Corporation"
	Option	    "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Videocard0"
	Monitor    "Monitor0"

	SubSection "Display"
		Depth     24
	EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
	Option	    "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

And X started again, but borders are still gone when starting compiz-fusion.

Any ideas?
And thanks for the help so far

Can you post

Code:

rpm -q compiz

Code:

glxinfo

and the output from this command

Code:

fusion-icon

and does this help

Code:

emerald --replace

Tine · #7 28th February 2008, 11:39 AM

it seems emerald --replace did the trick and now compiz-fusion is working again.

I noticed that after applying that command i got "select window decorator" menu back to fusion-icon menus.
I didn't notice it was gone until it reappeared after executing that emerald --replace.
Somehow it was stuck or something.
But now it works and that is what counts.

Thanks for your help!

I wasn't so lucky with the update to xorg-x11-server-Xorg to 1.3.0.0-42.fc8.i386. My compiz-fusion which was working perfectly on both my laptop (Dell C840) and Desktop broke. After I click on the fusion-icon, it churns for a moment, then fusion never starts. On the laptop, it's worse. When I click on fusion-icon, my x-server crashes and restarts.

Both machines use a NVIDIA proprietary driver, the desktop machine using a newer driver (its' a 6200 series) and the laptop is a GeForce4 with the legacy driver.

...sigh...
And I was soooo getting used to fusion's eye candy.

I've tried downgrading to the xorg-x11-server-Xorg to 1.3.0.0-40.fc8.i386, but this didn't help.

Your xorg.conf is wrong

aandpman · #11 29th February 2008, 11:53 AM

OK so I backed up my old Xorg.conf and created a new one with the data from your link, except changed the fi keyboard to us and added a Monitor0 Section (since X would not start without it) and I still have the same problem.

I just think it's odd that compiz was working perfectly and the only think that changed was xserver version.

I'm happy to post my old xorg...

What nvidia driver are you using i.e livna or the homepage nvidia driver ?

and can you post

Code:

glxinfo

aandpman · #13 29th February 2008, 12:41 PM

Also just tried removing all compiz pieces, rebooting and reinstalling and allowing the xorg-server update to happen.. didn't seem to help
It's strange....

The fusion-icon doesn't appear in my system tray like it did before all this began.
when I move my mouse to the edges of the screen tie desktop switches to another, like it would with compiz running, but without any 3d effects like the cube.

Using Nvidia NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run from their website.
