KDE-Forum.org

Hello,

First off.. sorry if this is the wrong forum/section.. I cannot find any other fourms on the net.. (if its wrong please point me in the right direction).

I am running SLED 10 with KDE for the desktop.

I'm trying to get XGL running under KDE, but i've run into a few problems.

Mainly I cannot get XGL to start correctly with xdm.. To get xgl running i
have to do the following..

1. Start Laptop
2. When it gets to the login prompt hit alt+f2, login as root.
3. rcxdm stop
4. Xgl :0 -fullscreen -ac -accel xv -accel glx:pbuffer & DISPLAY=:0 startkde

This will start the xgl server and load up startkde (KDE). This works fine.

when i try run the gnome-xgl-switch --enable-xgl it seems to edit the
nesscary config files in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanagers but when the laptop
tries to loadup the login prompt it runs VERY VERY SLOW.. (I cannot even
login its running that slow, its basically frozen).

I cannot figure out why.. As i can start it manually it appears there is
something with the say xdm/kdm is starting xgl..

Anyone got any ideas??

/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager

## Path: Desktop/Display manager
## Description: settings to generate a proper displaymanager config
## Config: xdm,kdm,gdm

## Type: string(kdm,xdm,gdm,wdm,console)
## Default: ""
#
# Here you can set the default Display manager (kdm/xdm/gdm/wdm/console).
# all changes in this file require a restart of the displaymanager
#
DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"

## Type: yesno
## Default: no
#
# Allow remote access (XDMCP) to your display manager (xdm/kdm/gdm). Please
note
# that a modified kdm or xdm configuration, e.g. by KDE control center
# will not be changed. For gdm, values will be updated after change.
# XDMCP service should run only on trusted networks and you have to disable
# firewall for interfaces, where you want to provide this service.
#
DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="no"

## Type: yesno
## Default: no
#
# Allow remote access of the user root to your display manager. Note
# that root can never login if DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN is "auto" and
# System/Security/Permissions/PERMISSION_SECURITY is "paranoid"
#
DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE="no"

## Type: yesno
## Default: yes
#
# Let the displaymanager start a local Xserver.
# Set to "no" for remote-access only.
# Set to "no" on architectures without any Xserver (e.g. s390/s390x).
#
DISPLAYMANAGER_STARTS_XSERVER="yes"

## Type: yesno
## Default: no
#
# TCP port 6000 of Xserver. When set to "no" (default) Xserver is
# started with "-nolisten tcp". Only set this to "yes" if you really
# need to. Remote X service should run only on trusted networks and
# you have to disable firewall for interfaces, where you want to
# provide this service. Use ssh X11 port forwarding whenever possible.
#
DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN="no"

## Type: string
## Default:
#
# Define the user whom should get logged in without request. If string
# is empty, display standard login dialog.
#
DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN=""

## Type: yesno
## Default: no
#
# Allow all users to login without password, but ask for the user, if
# DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN is empty.
#
DISPLAYMANAGER_PASSWORD_LESS_LOGIN="no"

## Type: yesno
## Default: no
#
# Display a combobox for Active Directory domains.
#
DISPLAYMANAGER_AD_INTEGRATION="no"

## Type: list(root,all,none,auto)
## Default: auto
#
# Determine who will be able to shutdown or reboot the system in kdm
# and gdm. Valid values are: "root" (only root can shutdown), "all"
# (everybody can shutdown), "none" (nobody can shutdown from
# displaymanager), "auto" (follow
# System/Security/Permissions/PERMISSION_SECURITY to decide: "easy
# local" is equal to "all", everything else is equal to "root"). Note
# that remote user can never shutdown in GDM.
#
DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN="auto"
## Path: Desktop/Display manager
## Description: settings to generate a proper displaymanager config
## Config: kdm3

## Type: string
## Default:
#
# space separated list of users for which icons should be shown in KDM
# if empty, then take system defaults
#
KDM_USERS=""

## Type: string
## Default:
#
# Special greeting words in kdm
#
KDM_GREETSTRING=""

## Type: string
## Default: SUSE
#
# Define the theme to be used by kdm. If empty, the traditional login
# window is used (which lacks some features)
#
DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME="SUSE"

## Type: string(Xorg,Xgl)
## Default: "Xorg"
#
# Xgl is an experimental Xserver using OpenGL for rendering.
# Right now only the glx backend is supported, which runs on top of a
# standard Xorg server providing OpenGL.
# Set this to 'Xgl' and run SuSEconfig only if you want to run your
# displaymanager (kdm/gdm/xdm) on Xgl on top of Xorg.
# This setting is case sensitive.
# Warning! This is highly experimental.
#
DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER="Xorg"

## Type: string
## Default: "-accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:pbuffer"
#
# Xglx is an experimental Xserver using OpenGL for rendering.
# Additional options for startup when using a display manager.
# You can try
# "-accel glx"
# or
# "-accel glx:pbuffer"
# in order to get accelerated indirect OpenGL rendering for 3D applications.
# You can also try
# "-accel xv"
# to accelerate XVideo color space conversion and/or scaling.
#
# See also /usr/share/doc/packages/xgl/README.SUSE

DISPLAYMANAGER_XGL_OPTS=":1 -fullscreen -ac -accel xv -accel glx:pbuffer"
