hello i am running fedora core 5 and i recently just installed xgl and compiz. when i try to play ut2004 it lags alot. If i switch back to x11 and then log back in it works ok. Is there a way to run the game without disabeling xgl and compiz. Also this shouldnt go here but when i play a video using mplayer and go to fullscreen the video image stays the same but the window goes fullscreen. It also works ok if i switch back to x11. Switching is a pain. Thanks for any help
I remember having similar problems a year or two ago with UT2000 - the problem was that I hadn't enabled dri and glx in my XF86Config (probably be xorg.conf for you).
There's a test tool called glxgears, try running that. The gears should whizz around if X is configured correctly
What video hardware do you have? Have you installed the latest driver for it?Quote:

As of today (15 March 2007) the latest Nvidia driver is version 1.0-9755.
running any game withour disabling Beryl/XGL is just taking too much system source.
im running Beryl with FC6 , and also run UT2k4 , no problems. its just a couple clicks to disable beryl.
