before 4.10 kwin_gles worked just fine on my: AMD ATI RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series], I use it because it's much faster than regular kwin (it keeps around 20fps), tho after experimenting some options I found that: KWIN_OPENGL_INTERFACE=egl KWIN_COMPOSE=O1 kwin --replace make it closer to what kwin_gles offers but is much slower when moving windows. Here is the line that make kwin_gles work as before: KWIN_COMPOSE=O2 kwin_gles --replace Here is the line that makes kwin_gles fails to enable compositing: daniel@bart:~/code$ kwin_gles --replace QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication.

check for recommended driver in SceneOpenGL2::supported might be put into an ifdef. But I think I did it that way as the environment variable is good enough. Not sure about it.
Git commit 26fdfac26b0d2a66f14f1169937c8b874cefd6d2 by Martin Gräßlin. Committed on 20/12/2012 at 21:44. Pushed by graesslin into branch 'KDE/4.10'. Do not block OpenGL 2 when build for gles due to driver recommendation Let's assume a user knows what she is doing when she selects kwin_gles instead of kwin. Also in gles there is no fallback to OpenGL 1 possible so blocking is not the proper solution in the first place.

Was this commited before RC2 came out? if so I still have the issue
"seems" The patch will not skip the warning, but should then proceed with the GLLegcy config option processing Do you have "opengl 2.0 shaders" activated in "kcmshell4 kwincompositing"? You'd get a "OpenGL 2 disabled by config option" debug out for it.

> >Do you have "opengl 2.0 shaders" activated in "kcmshell4 kwincompositing"? > > No that option makes kwin_gles slower here when compositing is working... :-) Then I dare to say that you never had kwin_gles with OpenGL running. kwin_gles only operates with OpenGL 2, the OpenGl 1 code path is ifdefed. If it has always been like that, it probably just fall back to XRender, which would explain why you have graphicssystem native instead of the default.
Created attachment 76455 [details] KWin with KWIN_COMPOSE=O2
Created attachment 76456 [details] kwin without any env var
Created attachment 76457 [details] kwin set to xrender
>:-) Then I dare to say that you never had kwin_gles with OpenGL running. >kwin_gles only operates with OpenGL 2, the OpenGl 1 code path is ifdefed. Compositing Type: OpenGL ES 2.0 sorry the first time I pasted it was with kwin without the O2 env var (I didn't know you wanted the output of the working thing...) Also since it worked in kde 4.9 there would still be some issue, and setting to xrender makes another difference. please note that all outputs where made using kwin_gles not kwin Thanks
Please enable the OpenGL 2 shaders option and switch the graphics system to raster
Created attachment 76462 [details] OpenGL 2 Shaders enabled and raster (dunno why I didn't set raster before :P )
>(dunno why I didn't set raster before :P because changing to XRender automatically changes to native.
@Daniel: is now everything fine or are there still issues?
Ok, so it seems the regression is actually that in 4.9 if you didn't check "Use OpenGL 2 shaders" it enabled for you, having that checked kwin_gles runs composited, probably that checkbox wasn't reflecting the current state of the compositor? BTW does the Raster setting there means all Qt apps will run using raster or I still need that env var?
(In reply to comment #18) > BTW does the Raster setting there means all Qt apps will run using raster or > I still need that env var? no, it only affects KWin, but Qt uses raster by default nowadays.
