This is the (german) message which comes up when I try to switch composite type to opengl
you're likely running into bug #323553 and friends. Please run "kwin --replace" from konsole (ensure to have kwin debug output active) and compare the output about failing to initialize OpenGL1 Why (a very basic) indirect context (and OpenGL1) setup does not work, is atm. not clear. -> Just enforce direct rendering (and OpenGL2) but be aware that it was initially blacklisted for random crashes. There's also been reports that after "aticonfig --initial" things started to "mystically" work again, but there's no guarantee on that. Hi Thomas, i could not find some options for debug or verbose mode for kwin-replace, but after doing kwin-replace commandline gave me some output. After kwin-replace I tried the following (just to compare with my output) 1. In system Settings Composite: Opengl version 2.0 native 2. In system Settings Composite: Opengl version 2.0 raster 3. Same with Opengl 3.1 in same order Heres what I got: andre@andre-Precision-T1500:~$ kwin --replace QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication.

I will consider the magic aticonfig --initial solution and will report about it. As said upgrading driver seems to be not good for me due ati is not supporting my card after version 8.98 Ok I tried the aticonfig --initial thing but it did not change anything for my situation :-( ok, is same bug. export KWIN_DIRECT_GL=1 export KWIN_COMPOSE=O2 kwin --replace & if that works, put the two exports into an executable #!/bin/sh in ~/.kde/env *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 323527 *** I can confirm, that this did the trick. But putting this into an executable in kde/env is not working wether with or without kwin --replace command. I will figure out a way that will automatically set the variables needed tomorrow and will report about it. Thanks for yourmquick help :-) Try "kcmshell4 autostart" (gui to add env scripts) Notice that the script has to be executable and of course contain a usable shebang ------- snip ------------ #!/bin/sh export export KWIN_DIRECT_GL=1 export KWIN_COMPOSE=O2 # do *not* kwin --replace here! ------- /snip ------------ chmod +x /path/to/script copy 'n paste is evil. ------- snip ------------ #!/bin/sh export KWIN_DIRECT_GL=1 export KWIN_COMPOSE=O2 # do *not* kwin --replace here! ------- /snip ------------ :-) Of course I made it executable (This is why I called it an executable) and gave it a shebang line. First I just put in the export commands and if this was not working, I added th kwin-replace. I consider putting those variables in a global scope or in rc.local. Currently I cannot try this due I'm not at work. I will report tommorow what I achieved. Best |
