1.0-9631 Composite (6.9.0) and GLX problem

[kaeptn]

Dear all,

today I upgraded from 1.0.8776 to 1.0-9631. I had enabled X-Composite option and with the 8776 driver I could use GLX together with the X-composite extension on my TwinView x.org 6.9.0.
With the 9631 driver I can't use GLX anymore when X-composite is enabled, if I start glxgears I get 0.2 fps returned by glxgears but can't see any output.
If I disable the X-composite extension GLX is working fine like before.

Nothing noticeable in the logs, at least I couldn't find any difference to the 1.0.8776 logs, so I avoid posting it here.

System is RELENG_6, card is GeForce 7300 GS, xorg.conf appended

Btw. Why are these drivers supposed to rely on compat5? If I simply link /lib/libm.so.4 to /lib/libm.so.3 everything is working fine. Not relevant to this problem because I went the proposed way and compiled compat5 options into the kernel and installed compat5 to make sure it's not my setup which causes the problem.

Thanks a lot,

-Harry

Did you ever find a solution to this? I am experiencing the exact same problem using

* the 1.0.9746_1 driver with Modular X 7.2 on a 7600GS card, and
* the 1.0.9746_1 driver with X 6.9 and an on-board 6500

Has anybody been able to get composite to work with GLX?

Cheers.

same problem here - and same solution (which isn't exactly desirable)

7600GT, RELENG_6 with X.Org 7.2, nvidia driver 1.0.9746_1

does anybody know of a workaround?

After updating to Xorg 7.3, FBSD stable 6.2, and Nvidia drivers 100.14.19, composite+GL now works for me. I also applied the mutex patch discussed in another thread.

OpenGL applications, in general, appear to work a lot better now. Even without composite enabled, I used to get "stuttering" in the GL application when another application updated a window. This doesn't seem to happen anymore -- or at least it is significantly less frequent.

Thanks!
