Wow. Amazing work guys! Beryl on Puppy! Are you kidding me? Nice nice work. Can't wait to give it a whirl. Once again, very good job.

could you add all needed dotpups to a tar.gz and upload them? (without Xorg72 and python)
This would make it easier to mirror them.

It would be great, if you could upload it here:

I can extract it on the server then.

*edit - Nevermind. I think I found the answer here, at the bottom:

Just to confirm, Gxine crashes after install the x11-7.2 upgrade. This mostly happens when you resize the window.

Could a request be made to the beryl devs that icewm compatability be in the next release? Not to mention more graphics card compatability. Is an sfs module planed I think WhoDo said that proprietary codecs can be included in sfs modules since they are not part of the main distro you might want to check that out.

I don't think so. JWM, IceWM, Fluxbox and Beryl are window managers. They have the same purpose. Beryl needs a desktop environment to work properly since it replaces only the window manager(xfwm for xfce or kwin for kde) and you can only have one WM running at a time.

Really interesting this, very nice work.

I've also read that DRI will need to be updated if you change Xorg.

One request, as a byproduct, if someone could build an updated overall Xorg package that installs the required components and deps in order, that would be very nice. Also headers. I need an updated Xorg for compiling another module.

In the meantime I'll have a go at compiling my own.

Wow, I'm having trouble with the new i810 module. New Xorg's not finding it. Instead it tries to load the old module => no X.

EDIT: The new i810 driver seems to be in a weird location

EDIT: Good, vesa driver's working though. Seamonkey doesn't seem to want to work with it?

UPDATE FIXED: new i810 *is* installed in a weird location. Doing this and editing xorg.conf fixed it:

PS: Sorry to be a pest, wow.

Does your Xorg contain fontsproto?

I'm trying to compile a patched version of the nsc driver and ./configure can't seem to find it in your Xorg.

EDIT: Actually it wants all of these:

configure: error: Package requirements (xorg-server >= 1.0.99.901 xproto fontsproto randrproto renderproto videoproto xextproto xf86dgaproto) were not met

UPDATE: I compiled and installed fontsproto ok but ./comfigure still can't see it. Setting

wow did you manage to put the "quarter-million" dependencies into the dotPups?? Shocked

(their way of saying it @ http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Building_Beryl)

i tried to compile many times but ALWAYS hit an error about Xcomposite and other stuff.

What did you compile? I tried to compile beryl-core-0.2.1, then beryl-manager-0.2.1.

@wdef: How did you compile fontsproto?
(That is, the things you typed in for configure, even if it's before the "./configure")
The reason I'm asking is that if you just typed "./configure" it probably installed the "pc" file somewhere else, so configure can't find it. (usually if im right installs in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/)

Try that. Type:

*edit, references to "your" and the "thanks" is directed at "wow". Sorry about my stupidity. The rest is for everyone.

Best news first; my ATI 3D card (MOBILITY RADEON 9000) is running DRI using xorg 7.1 radeon driver and OpenGL. Confirmed using MU's script to see the ANTS (extracted 3D Control Panel manually and ran script to avoid version conflicts). I get ~50fps. Will try to dig up exact chipset again sometime.

I built xorg up using T2 updating the xorg trunk (and one X11 trunk package [mesa]), thanks to your post in the first thread.

Took detailed notes while building a script. Perhaps it could save Barry some time in possibly integrating an xorg upgrade.

Also, was able to get it running using your config instructions as well as with T2. But I'm still unable to get T2 to respect my config options for aiglx and I'm missing DRI when I do it manually. So I'm still only half way there.

*Thanks for all the help and sorry on the delay in responding. I stuck somewhere between the two hemisphere's of my brain.

CODE:

First delete the xorg trunk in t2 and copy in the latest trunk.

Then update the mesa package in x11 trunk.

(maybe you emerge here, I can't figure all that out)
