compiz: strange settings
Hi all, I found some files, which seem to have got false settings. As I do not know, if this happened during the installation or during normal use, I hope someone can take a look on this. Additionally I did not find out, in which package these files are. apt-file did not help. These are the files: protheus2:/etc/qt3# ls -la insgesamt 40 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 20.

getting compiz going....
Dear Debianists, I bought an nvidia graphics card (8500GT) and stuck it in my desktop PC which is an AMD64 Sempron machine that was sold originally with just onboard graphics. It was running Debian Etch. I upgraded it to Lenny. I installed the nvidia driver and I think it went OK because I ran the test at the end using glxinfo: spc1-burn4-0-0-cust452:/etc/X11# glxinfo |grep rendering direct rendering: Yes This result is supposed to show that the graphics card is actually working. The kernel fix etc seemed to go OK. So then I tried to install compiz. I did apt-get install compiz and then I edited the xorg.conf file and added the various terms to it that are recommended to run compiz. I noticed that the Option parameters etc sit at what appear be fixed tab points along the line and used the tab character to jump to them before typing in the entries. I hope this was OK. If not please warn me. At first the modified xorg.conf while would not run. This is because you have to add a return character after the last EndSection entry to generate a new linw in the file. The parser in X11 doesn't understand it without this and won't execute. I also have tabs between e.g. Render Accel and true. I hope this is OK too. Maybe it should only be a regular spacebar character. I went in the sessions window and hit the add button and then put compiz for the name and at the command put compiz --replace. I left the comment box blank. I then rebooted to restart X. But when the machine rebooted I just got gnome again and not what I imagine compiz to be like when it fires up. But the gnome desktop was a bit impaired. For example, the root terminal windows can't be resized and the can't be moved around. It's the same with the browser windows. But I am able to send this email etc. The nvidia card is apparently still working. I would appreciate it if anyone has any ideas as to what is wrong here. I appreciate the assistance I have received so far on the list. I have been encouraged to buy a new card for the desktop PC as a result of the help I got working on my laptop nvidia card and soon I will fix the machine I use at work in the same way. For me, getting the compiz working is a good discipline as well as being useful.

RE: problems reinstalling nvidia cards after crash of Xorg.conf compiz edit forced OS reinstall...
I have fixed the problem of installing the nvidia kernel source. I had written nonfree instead of non-free (forgot the hyphen!) in the respository description and so apt couldn't find the right packages in sid. The problem I have now is one that has I think been mentioned in another post on this site where running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg wouldn't let me choose the type of graphics card as nvidia as it did the last time I got the nvidia card successfully installed and configured. It stops after sniffing around at the keyboard and mouse stuff. It shuts up shop, writes a version of the xorg file with something weird like xorg.2008042508 after it and says it is worried about overwriting a special modification of the xorg configuration. It then uses the vesa dumb graphics card setting to display the screen and ignores all the work I did installing the nvidia kernel. I will keep hacking away at it and I will get there in the end. Thanks for help from everyone on the site. You are real gents.

problems reinstalling nvidia cards after crash of Xorg.conf compiz edit forced OS reinstall...
Dear Debianists, I successfully installed and configured my nvidia card on my hp laptop. Everything was going well until I got too ambitious and tried to install compiz. I edited the xorg.conf file to include the instructions to get compiz working but when I rebooted X11 booted up gnome etc (but not compiz for some reason) and when I opened a root terminal to try to edit the xorg.conf file to look for clues as to why the compiz didn't start the root terminal turned completely blank and nothing I typed as commands appeared in the terminal window. I rebooted many times but could not abolish this problem. I tried to stop xorg from working and hoped to able to get emacs to work with no window manager and/or gdm working but I could not figure out how to do this. So I reinstalled the entire OS. I then tried to reinstall the nvidia cards again. I thought this would be easy but it was not I have used the same strategy as I did in the previous successful attempt but this failed. Somehow apt can't find stuff in the same repositories that it could do a few days ago. I am puzzled as to why this is the case. I would appreciate people's comments on this.

Re: compiz: no spencil buffer
AFAIK this is not a bug in compiz. It is a driver problem. I'm having this error on a Matrox G400 and I also don't know how to fix it (maybe its just a missing line in xorg.conf...). I bought a ATI RadeOn 9250 and now compiz works very good with the free xorg driver (no propritary bullshit). BTW: I think this buffer is called stencil-buffer and not spencil-buffer :-) @Jerome: Sorry, I first simply pressed reply, so my answer wasn't send to the list...

Compiz + AIGLX + Nvidia HOWTO
Hi list, I'm posting it here for future reference. Sorry if someone isn't interested at all. These steps work on my AMD64 X2 3800+ + Nvidia 6600GT + Asus A8N-E system. All packages are taken from official Debian repositories, no need to compile *anything*. Performance of 3D applications and video playback does *NOT* degrade as when using XGL. You can see a screenshot of the expose'-like effect here: http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/9021/debiancompizaiglxbq3.jpg 0) Prerequisites: a supported nvidia video card; Xorg 7.1. I run this on the newest Debian 2.6.18-1 kernel. 1) Install the beta nvidia video driver ( 1.0.9XXX), you can find it in experimental. There is plenty of documentation about it, I recommend the module assistant method explained here: http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/index.html 2) Modify your /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the following way: - Make sure Section Module looks like this: Load bitmap Load dbe Load ddc Load dri Load extmod Load freetype Load glx Load int10 Load record Load type1 Load v4l Load vbe - In Section Device add: Option XAANoOffscreenPixmaps - In Section Screen add: Option AddARGBGLXVisuals True - Add this new section: Section Extensions Option Composite Enable EndSection - Make sure you have DefaultDepth set to 24 and no other Depth at a higher value 3) Install all compiz packages (they are in unstable): # apt-get install compiz compiz-core compiz-gnome compiz-gtk compiz-plugins 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.

Nice writeup, but I don't believe compiz is in unstable . . . what does your sources.list look like? ~Zaq -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

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.
