[e-users] Problems with newly compiled E17

[Nasa]

Hi,

So I am trying to compile E vs Ubuntu 12.04 and have gotten
it done (for the most part) with a couple of lingering issues.
Hopefully, I can get some hints on these:

1. E17 fails to start giving me an error about ecore_evas
doesn't support the software X11 rendering in evas. This
even though both evas and ecore_evas show Software X11 as
a yes -- however, for XCB vs Xlib. While evas shows support
for OpenGL X11 via Xlib (instead of XCB, go figure). What
package and/or configuration option do I need to fix this?

And..

2. Does enlil still work/compile?

Thanks in advance,

Nasa

this shouldn't be an issue (xcb vs xlib). th
e only thing i can think is you have multiple installs of efl and you're using
an older one - maybe. e17 works a charm here and hasnt stopped working at any
point for me.

Sorry for the slow reply,

I was busy rebuilding everything from SVN with the new 12.04 (Ubuntu)
as the base (mini.iso) I ensured only one set of everything is installed.
At the end of the day, E still fails to start
for me (in virtualbox). From the terminal I get
"Enlightenment cannot initialize Ecore_X!". I have tested the video
system by running xinit (no options) and got xterm to start.

So, what should I be looking at to troubleshoot this? I saw that this
error was brought up a bit recently, bbut didn't see any steps for
troubleshooting it. Suggestions?
