Package: compiz
Version: 0.6.3~git20080115.0ea58487-1
Severity: normal

Hi.

After many unsuccessful installations of compiz on my machine, I
discovered that the call "compiz --replace" didn't work because compiz
thinks that my hardware doesn't have an extension that it seems to have:

rbrito@chagas:~$ compiz.real --replace
compiz.real (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz.real (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz.real (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0
rbrito@chagas:~$

But if I see the extensions supported by glxinfo, then I *do* get
GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap reported:

rbrito@chagas:~$ glxinfo | grep texture_from_pixmap
    GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, 
    GLX_SGIX_visual_select_group, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap
rbrito@chagas:~$ 

My system uses an Intel on-board 865G chipset with 32MB of RAM shared
with the main system memory. I'm using a Pentium D 805 here, if memory
serves me well.

I'm not sure right now, but I think that the compiz package in the
installation/live CD uses direct rendering (well, it is much faster than
what I get with Debian via the option --indirect-rendering, even when
used with the CD).

Please, any help is appreciated. Also, let me know if any further
information is necessary/desired.


Thanks for your efforts, Rogério Brito.

I don't see any bug here, closing.
