It almost seems like cheating to use xrandr because it's so easy and works so perfectly. Incredible.

Most keys work except for the win key which probably has a different scan code on my notebook. May be if I upgrade kde to 3.5.8 it will fix it. <BR/><BR/>I have another problem which is xvideo does work and I have to use the x11 driver. This used to work under compiz.geekaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681603430019235684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947964.post-22195422029149543872007-11-11T08:07:00.000-06:002007-11-11T08:07:00.000-06:00Hey, it's me again :)I found a workaround for (alm...Hey, it's me again :)<BR/><BR/>I found a workaround for (almost) all my problems hehe<BR/><BR/>First, for the direct rendering problem with GMA950:<BR/>Now when I start compiz, I exec the following command...<BR/><BR/>LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=TRUE compiz --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --indirect-rendering<BR/><BR/>...and add Option XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true" to the Device section in xorg.conf<BR/><BR/>This way, "glxinfo" returns "Direct Rendering 'yes'" and compiz works.<BR/><BR/>As for the shortcuts, that's a bug in the keyboard driver.

The indirect thing is there with intel GMA 950. I used to call the way you did but now use fusion-icon applet.<BR/><BR/>I too have key binding issues :( The Winkey doesn't work so any short cut which used it is gone. Keyboard layouts r missing on kde (kcontrol), caps lock light doesn't turn on but works.<BR/><BR/>But I have the cube :) and for others I mapped the winkey to other keys.<BR/><BR/>I'll let u know if I get it fixed.
