Has anyone tried this before? I don't want to screw with installing XGL and Compiz right now, but I am curious from all the hype they're getting. I would have tried it already, but I am not sure how well it would work/look with 3 monitors. Hopefully the Live CD will just use one.

The Live CD has been taken offline "due to GPL violation by distributing the ATI and nVidia drivers with the Linux kernel," but you can find plenty of mirrors that are still hosting it on Google.

Yeah, I tried it. It works really well! Worked on Intel graphics, nvidia, and ATI. I tested it out on all sorts of computers.

[Greg]

Bah, it keeps stuck when it tries to load

[The General]

Weird, it worked fine for me.

[Greg]

Hmm, it kept getting stuck on another computer I tried as well. I will try find the MD5 for it so I can check the file.

I have one last computer I can try it on that has any chance of running it.

Greg,

here is the MD5 SUM for the Kororaa XGL Live CD checked it on 2 sites so it is Genuine:

e274b79ce967a0141c0eab217eaf7140

Sounds Like a corrupt CD image to me, try re-downloading it:

Hope this helps,

Jake

Thanks for that, Jake. I ran the MD5 and they matched exactly. I think I might have a problem with my CD-ROM drive, so I will double check all the connections and jumpers and then try it again.

i love this!

i'm having trouble getting xgl to run on ubuntu though. i think it's because i have an intel i915 mobile chipset. i can only find tutorials for nvidia and ati cards.

anyone have any suggestions? could i maybe pull the config off of the kororra cd?
