still error: compiz (core) -Warn: pixmap 0x1000135 can't be bound to texture

[stefbon]

Hello,

I'm using the latest version of beryl, and I would like to use compiz fusion.

To use I had to upgrade to Xorg version 7.2, I have been using version 7.1.
It's a requirement.

Now when using compiz 0.5.2 I get these error's:

compiz (core) - Warn: pixmap 0x1000135 can't be bound to texture
compiz (core) - Info: Couldn't bind redirected window 0x140000f to texture.

There is nothing on the screen : only white.

It looks like the same error when I was trying to upgrade to Xorg version 7.2 earlier. The same errors. In the maillist of Xorg this issue is analysed:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8991

There is some miscommunication between compiz (or beryl) and xgl. Is this issue reckognized??? Somebody having the same problem?

PS I'm using the driver nvidia 100.14.09 and the glx driver and GLcore libraries also from NVIDIA.
I'm back to beryl 0.2.1 and Xog 7.1 (and Xgl server-0-0-1) and it's working again.

Hi,

I have a similar problem:
I use beryl 0.2.0 and don't have some problems (opensuse 10.2, nvidia driver 100.14.11, xgl, xorg 7.2).
But when I start compiz (0.5.2), I get these errors:

compiz (core) - Warn: pixmap 0x3000168 can't be bound to texture
compiz (core) - Info: Couldn't bind redirected window 0x2a000e7 to texture

There is only a white screen with my cursor. I haven't updated the driver or xorg.

Is there any specific reason why you're using Xgl?

The reason is that it worked until I got this problem :)

Try it without Xgl. The nvidia drivers support composite and texture_from_pixmap and shouldn't need Xgl.

If you do want to use Xgl, try LD_PRELOAD'ing the mesa GL library.

I want to try it without Xgl, but can you tell me what options I have to write in my xorg.conf?
I tried it, but compiz didn't start or I got a blank screen again (the strange thing is, that beryl ALWAYS works, either with Xgl or nvidia or Aiglx).

If you do want to use Xgl, try LD_PRELOAD'ing the mesa GL library.
How do I do this?

There are no needed changes to try without Xgl. You just need to disable Xgl from starting up, which will depend on your distribution. The location of your Mesa GL library also depend on your distribution.
