Still no joy for screens /= integer multiples of 64...

The wait starts for 8.3 for me--still extensive 3D corruption on my 1050x1680 display...

(Thinkpad T60p, FireGL v5250)

Are you using the published workaround (virtual screen width of 1728) ?

[pjjanak]

I wonder if I'll be able to suspend with Compiz again...if only my internet connection would stay consistent I might actually be able to try it out. I'll be back whenever the download decides to finish.

I think I'm still running Catalyst 7.12 haha xD
So...anyone know what compiz performance is like with Catalyst 8.02?

Little fixes:

+ AIGLX works with Xserver 1.4
+ First app works with Xserver 1.4

Still bad:

- Modelines crash Xserver
- PointSprites don't work (as you see in gl2benchmark test 3/4)
- gl2benchmark segfaults on amd64/sid
- currupts vesafb (Intel G33+X700 SE)
- AIGLX does not work with Xorg 7.1.1 (everything will get white soon)

My script is updated but requires xorg.conf files with ati/radeon/fglrx as Driver and 24 bit color depth.

running compiz+AIGLX fine, just a little more fps on glxgears.

aprox 780FPS on my x200M.

same issues:
- Diagonal tearing
- slow scroll on firefox/opera/konqueror (actually slightly faster)

any other x200 experiences and/or hints?

now i get used to this kind of releases .
lets wait one more month for the REAL change.
thanks in advance.

Can confirm it works on xorg-server-1.4 Guess this was worth sticking one month with metacity

No issues, can play games fine (non-compiz), everything feels snappy and fast. glxgears dropped for me however

[enzobelmont]

can somebody confirm xorg-xserver-1.4 + compiz +AIGLX + 8.02 working?

Are you using the published workaround (virtual screen width of 1728) ?

Found the virtual screen size workaround and tested it--I can now get 3D apps working (thanks!). Interestingly, when I boot normally into Gnome everything on the screen looks fine, but when I use Xgl (and compiz), I get four horizontal lines next to my cursor and corruption in the lower right hand part of my screen... Note that this is the case when using both Xgl and AIGLX to drive Compiz...
