Description Ferry Huberts 2007-11-24 18:56:19 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071105 Fedora/2.0.0.9-1.fc7 Firefox/2.0.0.9

Description of problem:
Driver detection fails due to wrong path parsing

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.6.0-3

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. from a terminal start compiz-manager



Actual Results:
it reports that a whitelisted driver could not be detected

Expected Results:
it should have detected the driver (in my case nvidia)

Additional info:
I found this by placing an extra print in the script during driver detection. It seems that the XORG_DRIVER_PATH has multiple slashes between 'modules' and 'drivers'.

Solution:
replace
  XORG_DRIVER_PATH="/usr/$ARCH_LIB/xorg/modules/drivers/"
with
  XORG_DRIVER_PATH="/+usr/+$ARCH_LIB/+xorg/+modules/+drivers/+"

Mhh. I've thought the fixed Path was only in xorg-x11-server-Xorg for rawhide.
However, this could easily be fixed. I will create an update tomorrow. In the
meantime you could try the rawhide version which already includes the fix:

Comment 5 Eugene M. 2007-12-03 00:45:11 UTC

i had a similar problem with a new fedora 8 installation(installed on
02.12.2007).  Starting compiz-manager failed saying "No whitelisted driver found".

to solve the problem, i had to change XORG_DRIVE_PATH like this:
XORG_DRIVER_PATH="/usr/$ARCH_LIB/xorg/modules//drivers/+"
to
XORG_DRIVER_PATH="/usr/$ARCH_LIB/xorg/modules/drivers/+"

the doble-slash before "drivers" was the problem. No desktop-effects work fine
