Setup Intel Graphics card with AIGLX Rendering for Compiz-Fusion
Posted by admin on July 26th, 2008
In openSUSE 11.0, AIGLX with Compsite is enabled by default for Intel Display Devices.AIGLX rendering is faster because of using hardware rendering for OpenGL and Xvideo. However, issues with Fragment Environment Variables mean Compiz-Fusion plugins Water, Blur and Reflection may not work correctly in which case, you have use XGL Rendering to get the above to work or work properly.
To confirm, Compisite is enabled,
opensuse11:~ # grep Composite /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(**) Extension “Composite” is enabled
(II) Composite (RENDER acceleration)
The setting can be found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as follows:
opensuse11:~ # grep -i composite /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Option “Composite” “on”
The above indicates that composite is enabled. Now, edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and check the following entries are already in the configuration file, if not found then add them as required:
Under Secition Module
Section “Module”
Load “dri”
Load “glx”
Load “dbe”
Under Section Device
Section “Device”
Option “XAANoOffscreenPixmaps” “true”
Option “DRI” “true”
If yours is a Intel Mobile Chipset then, it is also better to disable the FrameBufferCompression here.
Option “FramebufferCompression” “false”
Under Section ServerLayout
Section “ServerLayout”
Option “AIGLX” “true”
Under Section DRI
Section “DRI”
Group “video”
Mode 0660
Under Section “Extensions”
Section “Extensions”
Option “Composite” “Enable”
Once the missing entries are added, restart your X Server by typing <CTRL>+<ALT><Backspace> twice within 2 seconds or alternatively, simply logout/login or reboot your computer.
This gets your Intel Graphics card ready for the Compiz-Fusion desktop experience.

Nicht die Befehle mit copy und paste kopieren. Zumindest kwrite hat die Anführungszeichen nicht richtig übernommen, Grund liegt wahrscheinlich im Quelltext, da die Anfürhungszeichen als #8220; bzw. #8221; eingetragen sind.

sorry for writing German ^^ You shouldn’t copy the codes from this website and paste them into your editor. If you do this the quotes will not interpreted in the right way by your editor, because in the sourcecode they are writen as #8220; and #8221;
