Bug#462398: compiz: texture_from_pixmap check fails on Intel laptop
Package: compiz
Version: 0.6.3~git20071222.061ff159-1
Severity: normal
I think my laptop has an Intel 945GM chip. When I try to start compiz it
prints:
Checking for Xgl: not present.
Detected PCI ID for VGA: 00:02.0 0300: 8086:27a2 (rev 03) (prog-if 00
[VGA])
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present.
Trying again with indirect rendering:
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present.
Checking for non power of two support: present.
Checking for Composite extension: present.
Comparing resolution (1280x800) to maximum 3D texture size (2048):
Passed.
Checking for nVidia: not present.
Checking for FBConfig: present.
Checking for Xgl: not present.
and it doesn't draw any window borders etc even though it does run, and
so does gtk-window-decorator. According to glxinfo,
GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is present in "server glx extensions" and
"client glx extensions" but not in "GLX extensions". /usr/bin/ compiz
checks for at least 3 occurrences of GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap in the
output. I changed the check from "-gt 2" to "-ge 2" and the error
messages changed to:
Checking for Xgl: not present.
Detected PCI ID for VGA: 00:02.0 0300: 8086:27a2 (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present.
Checking for non power of two support: present.
Checking for Composite extension: present.
Comparing resolution (1280x800) to maximum 3D texture size (2048): Passed.
Checking for nVidia: not present.
Checking for FBConfig: present.
Checking for Xgl: not present.
/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0
and it then falls back on metacity.
