If you want to use Compiz with these drivers (yes, you can use Compiz
without Xgl or AIGLX with these!), I will be pushing the necessary stuff
to current shortly and I'll post a small HOWTO in reply to this thread.
Ok, here it is.
1. Make sure you have the latest compiz-cvs (20061001-1 - priyank is
building for i686 atm) and the beta nvidia drivers
2. Open /etc/X11/xorg.conf
3. Add these 2 lines in the Device section for your nvidia card:
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
Option "DRI" "true"
4. Add these lines to the bottom of the file (or if you already have an
Extensions section, add the lines inside this section to it):
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
Option "RENDER" "Enable"
EndSection
5. Make sure these lines are in the appropriate Screen section:
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "Coolbits" "1"
Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
Option "TwinView" "false"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True"
6. Make sure that your copy of /usr/bin/compiz-gnome has the --use-cow
option passed to compiz, and that it calls gtk-window-decorator, not
gnome-window-decorator - these are default in compiz-cvs-20061001-1
7. Save xorg.conf and close. Open /etc/sysconfig/compiz. Set
ENABLE_COMPIZ to 1. Save and close
8. Run gdm-restart as root
9. Log in to Gnome/XFCE and hope for the best :)
10. If it didn't work, set ENABLE_COMPIZ to 0 in /etc/sysconfig/compiz,
and send a mail here with your .xsession-errors, xorg.conf and
/var/log/Xorg.0.log attached.
Thanks,
Alex
