guttertrash Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 im investigating compiling an xserver with xgl support for kde to run ON osx/darwin in parallel with aqua. I can jobviously run an x server in parralel so i see no reason why we cant compile xgl support into the x server. anyone tried this yet?

Colonel Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 it MIGHT be possible. I've ran KDE on OS X before, but not with XGL. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21880-running-xgl-with-kde-under-xorg-on-osx/#findComment-144618 Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLux Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Xgl can (for the moment) only works with GTK windows. So, not with KDE Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21880-running-xgl-with-kde-under-xorg-on-osx/#findComment-144681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_muad_dib Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Xgl can (for the moment) only works with GTK windows. So, not with KDE not exactly... compiz works on kde and qt compiled programs, (i'm using it now) but you get a window with gnome decorations.. just the title bar is different... imo xgl+compiz cannot be compiled on macos... because: 1) it needs modular Xorg 7.x, and you can't upgrade the current X11 version in macosX(afaik) 2) afaik the xgl overlays around the net aren't designed for unix systems.. only linuxes 3) to use XGL you need opengl indirect acceleration, macosX does it thru quartz but X11 programs need a specific api to use quartz, that is not used in XGL source for sure 4) i doubt it would compile on gcc 4.0 w/out modifications so forget it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21880-running-xgl-with-kde-under-xorg-on-osx/#findComment-148192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
siergiej Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 N what about X11 in Leopard? I heard somewhere here that someone did Beryl or Compiz on OSX -by long way n hacking.
