Hi again.
I've got a laptop with an ATI X600 inside, perfectly working xorg with dual head configuration, 2 desktops (without xinerama). I've got 2 xorg.conf files, one for propietary ATI (fglrx) driver, and other to use the open source driver. The difference is very notorious. The problem I have is that I read (Saint Google) that to work with compiz/beryl and dual-head configuration, I need to install XGL. That is why I wrote this message. Has anyone been installed XGL under Centos 6 using dual-head configuration and fglrx driver?
Does anyone know links to tutorials/repositoris that I can use to install XGL?
Does anyone know information on How-to configure XGL to allow the dual-head configuration use?
My system is updated and is working perfectly with xorg. But I want to know how to run beryl in my system and make a mini how-to to configure it with xgl+fglrx+dual-head and send it to centos wiki. I have been reading info about the same, but under Ubuntu or FC distros, but it is incomplete or difficult to translate on Centos distro (at least for me).
Thanks you for any start point (links, howtos, repositories, etc...) that help me in this documentation/configuration process.
Regards

Hola de nuevo, colisteros. Tengo un portátil con una ATI X600 en el cuál tengo perfectamente configurado las Xorg para el uso de 2 monitores con escritorios independientes, sin Xinerama. Tengo 2 xorg.conf, uno para usar el driver propietario ATI (fglrx) y otro para el uso del driver de código abierto y, sinceramente, se nota mucho la diferencia entre el uso de uno y otro. El tema es que para que beryl/compiz funcione con el driver propietario de ATI y con 2 monitores, se ve que necesito hacerlo usando XGL. Por ello es por lo que os escribo el siguiente e-mail.
¿Alguno ha instalado XGL bajo CentOS 5 usando fglrx y 2 monitores?
¿Alguno conoce links hacia tutoriales/repositorios que pueda usar para instalar XGL?
¿Información sobre cómo configurar XGL para usar 2 monitores?
Indicaros que el sistema está actualizado y está funcionando perfectamente con las xorg. El tema es que me apetece probar cómo montar beryl en el mismo y hacer un pequeño HOW-TO para 2 monitores y publicarlo o mandarlo al wiki, ya que he visto información para Ubuntu/FC6, pero o es incompleta o difícil de adaptar (al menos para mí) a Centos 5.
Os agradecería mucho cualquier punto de partida que me ayude a documentarme sobre XGL y configurarlo bien para su uso con 2 monitores, ya luego veré cómo meter compiz o beryl.

Well, some progress.
I had installed xgl and appears to be working.
Now the problem is that on the right screen don't load the desktop, I can only view a black screen and the mouse cursor appears as a "X" over that screen.
I can play with beryl on the laptop flat fine (1600x1050 with 24bpp), but not with the external LCD (1280x1024 with 24bpp). The right screen (external LCD) works fine witout XGL, and appears to work fine with Xgl, but the secondary desktop is not loaded into the secondary screen.
With "ps aux" I can see 2 xorg process and only one Xgl process.
Perhaps I need to make modifications into any gdm configuration files? What files I have to modify? How?
Perhaps I need to make modifications into xorg.conf to adapt it for Xgl use?
Please, I need help about this.
I attach the relevant .conf files to the e-mail.

I'm actually curious about how you got the XGL part installed (I've been trying to get CentOS 5 + fglrx + XGL + beryl + dualhead as well). I got everything but XGL and beryl working.
As for the dualhead part. You want to not use XINERAMA or TwinView (nvidia specific) but instead use Pairmodes (ati specific). It basically amounts to having only 1 device and screen section (ie. you configure everything for one single screen) and then you add to the main Device section
Option "Mode2" "1920x1200,1600x1200" (second monitor modes) Option "PairModes" "1440x900+1920x1200,1440x900+1600x1200"
Once X is booted you can use xrandr (command line) to switch between various display modes (and aticonfig --lsp, aticonfig --set-powerstate=X, aticonfig --query-monitor also come in handy).
Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf (this is for an ATI fglrx driven 1440x900 LCD with occasional external monitor/LCD/projector):
Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" Option "Clone" "off" Option "Xinerama" "off" EndSection

so any help on XGL and beryl?
Thanks, Maciej
I used these links as references: http://alexceli.org/blog/2007/06/13/instalacion-de-centos-5-y-el-manejador-b... http://nicofo.tuxfamily.org/dotclear/index.php/2007/02/23/25-automatic-insta... http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=155503&page=1&pp=10
You must read all the coments too.
Basically, you need "the extras respository" (install karan fc extras respository for centos) and the "tuxfamily.org" xgl repository for fc6.
I attach: kbsingh-CentOS-Extras.repo: Karam extras repository for Centos xgl.repo: Xgl repository for FC6 modified to force FC6. fc-extras.repo: FC6 extras (only enable if karam has not any needed package) xorg.conf.flgrx: My xorg.conf that allow me beryl with xgl.
The steps, basically are: 1) Take a backup for your xorg.conf 2) Prepare the repositories (the karan repository is here: http://centos.karan.org/). 3) Install xgl. 4) Install beryl.
