XvmcusesTestures/AllowGLXWithComposite/RenderAccel

[Hugolp]

Hi

I have manage to get linuxmce working with UI2 with masking. But I have a problem. Every time I start linuxmce I get this message saying I need to install XvmcusesTestures, AllowGLXWithComposite and RenderAccel. If I say yes it does some config and it asks me to reboot. When I reboot kubuntu, the graphics are fuck up and wont load. I dont get to the point of kubuntu asking for my user and pasword. Tried to recover with help from the guys at yahoo messenger but no luck. I had to reinstall.

The thing is that everytime I start linuxmce that message appears, and I have to say no everytime. Also I think there are some graphics not appearing as they should, so I guess I still have a some kind of problem. Does anyone knows what that is and if I can config it on my own?

I have read in another post here that to run UI2 with alpha blending you need composite to be enabled. Ill try that tomorrow.

Thanks

This seems to be a problem in verification of your Xorg settings. Please you try to do the following:

1) before pressing "Yes" in dialog box, save your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to some other place (and please post it here so we can check it)
2) after pressing "Yes", also save the 2nd copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf to some other place (and also please post it here)
3) try to reboot - if your graphics is broken, restore /etc/X11/xorg.conf from 1st copy and reboot again (this should correct any wrong graphics changes made), so you won't need to reinstall

Also, what video card do you have?

I hava a Nvidia 7100GS 512 RAM.

Its not an Xorg.conf problem. Allredy had a previous xorg.conf version and tried and didnt work either. I tried some other options the guys that help with linuxmce at yahoo messenger suggested, but no luck. The only option we saw was to reinstall.

I am interested to know what do those modules do, so I can check dependencies or incompatibilities.

Hi

I get the same message as you describe. If I answer 'Yes' and restart X, I only get a black screen (no sync on the screen/tv). I discovered that LMCE during the script has added a Modeline in xorg.conf that do not work. If I replace it with my "old" Modeline (I am for the moment running 1024x768 on vga-input to my Sony HD-Ready LCD TV) I get X up again. But the next time I start LMCE the message with XvmcusesTestures and so on shows up again. If I anwer 'No' it seems like LMCE goes into an endless loop. The UI1 works OK, but it is to ugly to use. Is this LMCE or a nvidia-driver problem?

BTW, I am now using an AGP nvidia 6800LE videocard with the nvidia-driver (not nv) and LMCE 1.1 beta 2.

It's driving me crazy, and if I continue I'll soon end up divorced ;-)

 Any suggestions to a linux noob?

tthaulow, this looks like a bug in 'xorg settings fixer' script that causes wrong ModeLine to be put - can you quote this ModeLine here, so it can be checked?

Here is the section of xorg.conf.
The modeline @60 all work, but the 1024x768 at the bottom results in a black screen or sometimes a distorted 1280x1024 view on my lcd tv. This was automatically generated by the script.
