[OpenIndiana-discuss] vbox 4.3.6 guest problems

[Gabriele Bulfon]

Yes: cairo composite manager.
If you can try out our distro on 4.3.6 + original additions, you can see the problem.
It's not just a black box around, but for the whole orizontal space height of the dock.
If you then download our own additions CD, uninstall original and install ours (built from sources)
it works.
The difference is that with ours, cairo-dock says "it cannot get a full correct visual with stencil and
alpha, so it will take one without stencil", while original says it takes the corrcet one, but draws bad...

Hi Gabriele,
Out of curiosity I just tried cairo-dock on OI hipster. I get a black box around the dock if I'm running it without compiz.
Are you using a compositing window manager?
I'll give it a try in VBox within two days (no VT-x here) and report back.

Hi,
I was wandering if OI suffer the same problem we're facing on XStream Desktop (working on beta2).
Latest vbox 4.3.6 delivers video drivers solairs with X11 1.13.1 and 1.14.5, at last!
So we should not need to deliver our own build of additions any more.
BUT...
We tried the 4.3.6 additions, both with X11 1.13.1 (beta1) and 1.14.5 (beta2), and cairo-dock
is horribly painted with a black background all around, and it also glitches, and more bugs.
Running with "-c" works, but obviously many nice effects go away.
With "-o" it's a madness.
Debugging the code, we discovered that it actually finds a correct stencil buffer visual with transparency
on the vboxvideo driver, but then everything is painted bad!
Is anyone capable of trying OI on vbox4.3.6+drivers and run cairo-dock in ogl mode to see if you
have the same happening?
Thanks for any help
Gabriele.
