[oi-dev] DIFF adding to MATE Compiz Special Effects to "Appearance Preferences > Visual Effects" tab used in the old Gnome2

[ken mays]

Martin,
Let us see how RM's implementation evolves. There is some work in doing USB certification driver testing.Having the adequate resources and time to test various situations is very time-consuming.

Strengthening and improving our graphics/sound stack and MATE desktop environment is time well spent for now.

Ken,

sure, I'm glad to do that. But my build machine is too outdated.
I perhaps should upgrade the entire host to Hipster's latest MATE iso level (or I do that on the old laptop for now).
And yes, thankfully there is already one where Alexander has included my DRM/KMS Sol12 backport diffs from July on August 20th (not the original iso/usb that were publicly announced 4 days earlier).
I fyi had requested the OpenSXCE community to test the Hipster iso (and also tested it myself on Ivy and reported to Hipster-core via OFFlist emails, as you know) :

As for xhci: Do you really think my instructions or now cancelled src port beginnings are still wanted or needed, now after RM published his webrev yesterday?

If you think yes, then I'm glad to publish the instructions how to make the Sol11 bins work on OpenSolaris (while at the same time making the entire installation fall under Oracle's Solaris 11 license terms) ?
As for my xhci src port: RM is much further with that, as I outlined earlier I started working on this only after I finished the Grub2 UEFI32 Atom Tablet port.
But the steps how to get Sol11's xhci and usb stack working if the user is  willing and ready to turn his installation fully under Oracle's licensing, then no problem, glad to describe this if anybody wants.
This probably only applies to private non-commercial users, who are free to use Oracle Solaris 11 for testing for a while.
Businesses can only legally do this if they already have a valid commercial Oracle license. But those that do would probably not run OpenSolaris, but Solaris 11.x in the first place.

So just advise what the community wants (or perhaps the community itself should tell me).

Martin,
Feel free to implement the full patch. I tested the ccsm and other methods but didn't like the 'user (non-GUI)' feel of it.I agree on the previous visual effects GUI model you mentioned..
We also have a recent GNOME ISO/USB build, but it may not have the DRM update. Check with Alp on that.I'd like to see us add the XHCI update as well so we can test all of this at current state...
