I had some time on my hands and decided to try compiz-fusion. When I try to start compiz-manager I get the following:
$ compiz-manager Checking for Xgl: not present. Detected PCI ID for VGA: 01:00.0 0300: 10de:0422 (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) 05:00.0 0300: 10de:0422 (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present. Checking for non power of two support: present. Checking for Composite extension: not present. aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity no /usr/bin/metacity found, exiting The "Xgl: not present" is because I'm running Xorg (x11-base/xorg-x11-7.2) The thing that really strikes me is "Checking for Composite extension: not present.". What I can see I have Composite enabled: $ grep -i Composite /var/log/Xorg.0.log (**) Extension "Composite" is enabled (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true" (II) NVIDIA(0): Support for GLX with the Damage and Composite X extensions is (**) NVIDIA(1): Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true" (II) Initializing built-in extension COMPOSITE And this is a part of xorg.conf: ------------8<---------------- Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection ------------8<---------------- I have two nVidia GeForce 8400 GS Cards installed in this box: # lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400 GS] (rev a1) 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400 GS] (rev a1) Any suggestions on how to solve this? -- Dan Johansson, <http://www.dmj.nu> *************************************************** This message is printed on 100% recycled electrons! ***************************************************
