Re: Compiz + AIGLX + Nvidia HOWTO
I was asking this because with the new nvidia drivers, you don't need to use AIGLX anymore. GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is directly implemented in the driver. Therefore you can use direct rendering and gain much performance. -Pascal On 3 Oct 2006 05:49:33 GMT, Jack Malmostoso [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tue, 03 Oct 2006 02:50:10 +0200, Pascal Giard wrote: Simple question, why have you choosen to use indirect rendering as this is much slower than direct rendering?

There's an updated HOWTO on the Nvidia Linux Forums that might help: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=77030 -- Bernardo Arlandis Mañó -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Jack, Simple question, why have you choosen to use indirect rendering as this is much slower than direct rendering? -Pascal On 1 Oct 2006 10:37:18 GMT, Jack Malmostoso [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi list, I'm posting it here for future reference.

[...] 4) Restart the X server, log in, open a terminal and issue: $ gtk-window-decorator $ compiz --replace --use-cow --indirect-rendering gconf If that works, you can add the two commands to your startup commands or create a script that will be executed at login. 5) Enjoy! -- Best Regards, Jack Linux User #264449 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux on AMD64 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Does it break? My setup is different, I'm not sure why. The dri module isnt loaded, and nvidia's nvidia driver is loaded instead of nv. glxinfo indicates that direct rendering is not enabled, though it is happening. My main concern is what happens when the kernel gets upgraded. I used to re-run the nvidia installer. Now that I use module assistant, I can't wait for the next kernel upgrade to see what happens.
