I've just finished upgrading to KDE 4.7.2. Apart from the errors that others have reported I've found that KWin is no longer acting as a compositing window manager. Specifically, my terminals (Gnome Terminals) are no longer transparent, the window bar at the bottom of the screen no longer shows a snapshot of a window on another desktop when I hover over it, windows no longer glow when they have the focus, etc.
In .xsession-errors I see this: kwin(2319)/KSharedDataCache: Unable to unmap shared memory segment 0x2fb00000 IRQ's not enabled, falling back to busy waits: 2 0 OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R600 (RS880 9715) 20090101 x86/ MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE2 TCL OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 7.6.1 Driver: R600C GPU class: R600 OpenGL version: 1.2 Mesa version: 7.6.1 X server version: 1.7.7 Direct rendering: no Requires strict binding: yes GLSL shaders: no Texture NPOT support: no The fact that Direct rendering is set to "no" is most likely the problem, but I don't see why that's failing (DRI used to work). I also see this: kwin(2319): KWin requires at least Mesa 7.10 for OpenGL compositing. kwin(2319): Failed to initialize compositing, compositing disabled kwin(2319): Consult http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KWin/4.0-release-notes#Setting_up Is that a new requirement with 4.7? Compositing worked previously with the older version of Mesa we have in ports (7.6.1). That is going to be a problem since 7.6.1 is the newest version of Mesa we have in ports. Has anyone else run into this or has KWin doing compositing after the upgrade? -- Greg Lewis Email : gle...@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : gle...@freebsd.org _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
