I’m having a problem running a program that I compiled on my eeepc. The program is the same as I run on the computers on campus, which works absolutely fine.
As they say, pictures speak louder than words:
Essentially, what’s happening is the image sort-f appears on the screen, without the window frame. If I was to move a different window onto the image, the part that is overlapped disappears.
Plus, if I press any letter, ‘Arghh’ appears in terminal. I am using a procedure to display info, but only when w or p are pressed.
I did mess up Mesa, as I thought it had to install it, but ended up reinstalling Ubuntu (via terminal), which should have fixed Mesa.
Looking at that link, I have neither an Intel section in xorg.conf, or INTEL_BATCH=1 in environment. As I’m not exactly a Linux pro, how would I rectify these?
Until recently direct-rendering and compiz did not play together at all. With DRI2 in xserver 1.6, it will “just work.” If you fell like building the X stack (libraries, xserver, etc.) you can get it now. I think X.org 7.5 should be out pretty soon. At this point, I think we’re mostly waiting for the release manager to get back from linux.conf.au.
