i followed the following steps which is given in this site.
http://fedoraxgl.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Installation_en
Install Fedora Xgl Repository:
# rpm -Uvh http://fedoraxgl.tuxfamily.org/repository/fedora-xgl-repository-1.0-3.noarch.rpmImport GPG Key
# rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-AL-CAPCOMInstall Xgl and Compiz packages:
# yum --enablerepo=fedora-xgl install compiz xorg-x11-server-Xgl
---------------------------------------------Result of this Command: Package xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386.rpm is not signed Installation Failed :(
May try cd /var/cache/yum/fedora-xgl/packages rpm -ivh * (actually may need to rpm -ivh one by one...)
Just to get you by change in
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-xgl.repo
gpgcheck=1
to
gpgcheck=0
Run the yum command above again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------so exactly the above happend. so i yumed each package seperatly with -ivh.
But while installing xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386.rpm the following occurred.
[root@localhost packages]# rpm -ivh xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libglitz-glx.so.1 is needed by xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386
libglitz.so.1 is needed by xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386
when i google theres s no such package available. Instead wut i got downloaded to my machine is
(by running this command # yum --enablerepo=fedora-xgl install compiz xorg-x11-server-Xgl )
glitz-0.5.6-3.fc5.i386.rpm
glitz-glx-0.5.6-3.fc5.i386.rpm
libsvg-0.1.4-4.fc5.i386.rpm
libsvg-cairo-0.1.6-3.fc5.i386.rpm
------------------------
Any how i managed continue with the packages which got downloaded to my machine.
now when i type
$ gnome-xgl-info
-----------------------------------------------------------
This is wut i should get...
This command must return, it's like that:
G ATI Technologies
1 kmod-nvidia is installed for the kernel release 1.2111_FC5
1 -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv
Explanation the return of gnome-xgl-info:
- First line is:
CardStatus [CardName]
where CardStatus is: G(ood), B(ad), S(low), or U(nknown)
- Second line is:
3DStatus [Missing or installed Packages]
where 3DStatus is 0 or 1
- Third line is:
XglStatus [RecommendedOptions]----------------------------------------------------------------
where XglStatus is 0 or 1 and RecommendedOptions is set if the hardware is detected as compatible.
But the results shows this
cat: /etc/sysconfig/xgl/status: No such file or directory
G ATI Technologies
0 kmod-fglrx is not installed for the kernel release 1.2054_FC5
0 -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:pbuffer
Any idea how to proceed to the next stage from hear :(
