[gentoo-user] KDE 4.0.2 and composite

[gentoo-user] KDE 4.0.2 and composite

[Uwe Thiem]

Hi folks,

I emerged KDE 4.0.2 without composite in my xorg. Meanwhile I have 
found out how to enable composite (and 2D and 3D acceleration) with 
my graphics chipset.

Now I'd like to re-compile KDE with composite enabled. Anybody in the 
know *what* parts of KDE I have to re-emerge? (Wouldn't like to do 
the whole thing.)

Should be enough enable the use flag on your make.conf (xcomposite)
and emerge -uvaDN world. Portage will take care of re-compiling only
the packages whose USE flag has changed.

set xcomposite in USE. It'll rebuild a couple of things:

nazgul ~ # equery hasuse xcomposite
[ Searching for USE flag xcomposite in all categories among: ]
 * installed packages
[I--] [ ~] kde-base/kicker-3.5.9 (3.5)
[I--] [ ~] kde-base/kwin-3.5.9 (3.5)

and 'emerge libXcomposite compositeproto'

I'd estimate about 20 minutes build time for that lot

hm, there is no composite use-flag. Are you sure that you have to re-emerge 
anything?

But I would guess: kwin, kdeartwork and maybe that hideous 
kcontrol-replacement.

Hm ... It will only re-emerge kdebase-3.5.9-r1 here. That doesn't seem 
right.

KDE is can be emerged in two ways ‒ monolitic (big packages) and split
(many small ones). This seems you have the monolitic one, so it will
reemerge only one big instead of few small ones.

I use -meta packages. Apparently you use monlithic.

In other words, kdebase contains kwin and kicker within. You can't have
kwin installed if you have installed kdebase, and you can't have kdebase
installed if you used split ebuilds and (therefore) you have kwin and kicker
installed as separate packages.

I have 3.5 as monolithic and 4.0 meta. What concerns me is that 
adding "xcomposite" will not re-emerge anything from 4.0 - and there 
is where I need/want it.

OK, I see what you mean. Try this hacked-together list instead:

Actually I did that meanwhile. Unfortunately, it doesn't help insofar 
as the whole session crashes the moment I switch on "Enable Desktop 
Effects" and apply it. I then sit in front of kdm again. Can't log 
in, though; it immediately crashes again. Had to log in on a text 
console and edit ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc manually.

Whine! Cry! This must be an international conspiracy to prevent uncle 
Uwe from using all these shiny new things in KDE4. Grrr. 

<rage>
Who is behind this conspiracy? Step forward! I have a big potjie [1] 
and a big plot suitable for a big fire. Have you ever seen one of 
those jokes about missionaries in Africa? That is going to happen to 
you. For sure!

Nothing revealing.

I guess my problem is this: My video subsystem is a VIA UniChrome Pro 
IGP. I got an X driver for it from www.openchrome.org which doesn't 
seem to work properly with my "IGP" version of the chipset. :-(

Which version of the driver are you using? I have an IGP chipset and use
x11-drivers/xf86-video-openchrome-0.2.901 from the Sabayon overlay.

I tried 0.2.2 from portage and an svn checkout from openchrome.org. 
Same result in both cases. Hm... 0.2.901 is working correctly? With 
composite switched on?

What do you mean by "Dell kit"? A whole rig? A DIY kit where I have

I can't see openchrome in portage.

I'm not using composite, it's a MythTV frontend, but I am using all the
accelerationy bits. It's a lot more stable than the svn build I used to
use.

Go to x11-drivers/xf86-video-via. Look into the ebuilds. It actually 
is openchrome. At least I think it is.

Uh-huh! Without actually using composite in KDE, it is working here as 
well. 

Anyway, I tried 0.2.901. No joy. I have had it for today. Have 
rebooted so often, I feel like using the other OS. ;-) Tomorrow I'll 
be too busy (have got the holy duty to feed myself).

I will probably give it another try coming weekend. Unmerge the whole 
of KDE 4.0.2 and re-emerge it again. Maybe, I missed one small bit 
when recompiling stuff, though I can't think of with one. Recompiled 
everything in KDE that has the USE flag xcomposite plus kdelibs, 
although they don't don't listen to xcomposite.

If I'll succeed somehow I'll report back here. If not, well, I'll give 
up on the whole thing, stay without the effects in KDE and wait for 
the Easter Bunny to provide me with a decent video card. ;-)

That looks like Unichrome, the package from which openchrome was forked
to add 3D acceleration.

The version number, 0.2.2, looks like openchrome to me. Anyway, the 
last release from openchrome.org didn't work for me either.

Openchrome didn't have versioned releases until 0.2.900. everything was
built from SVN until then, which is why there was no ebuild in portage.
