restricted-manager (0.13) feisty; urgency=low . * restricted-manager: Drop 'In Use' checkboxes which could not be operated anyway and were confusing for too many users. Replace them with a 'status' text, saying 'In use', 'Needs computer restart', or nothing. (LP: #95901) * RestrictedManager/nvidia.py, legacy driver: Enable AllowGLXWithComposite.

[Bug 91064] Re: nvidia-glx-legacy has disabled GL by default
So, now we will need three packages for nvidia drivers. nvidia-glx nvidia-glx-legacy nvidia-glx-even-more-legacy :) I looked into my xorg.conf file in my other system (gentoo) where I have GeForce 6600. It didn't have AllowGLXWithComposite set and the acceleration was working so probably we don't need this option with latest drivers. However I need: Option AddARGBGLXVisuals true to be set in Screen section to have Beryl running properly. Without it, Beryl didn't show windows decorations (however everything else, like wobbly windows, cube) was working. -- nvidia-glx-legacy has disabled GL by default https://launchpad.net/bugs/91064 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 91064] Re: nvidia-glx-legacy has disabled GL by default
Thanks for pointing this out. I don't have a legacy card to test this with. :/ It's easy enough to add this option by default when using r-m. Is it also required for the non-legacy driver? ** Changed in: restricted-manager (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: xorg = restricted-manager Importance: Undecided = Medium Assignee: (unassigned) = Martin Pitt Status: Confirmed = In Progress Target: None = ubuntu-7.04 -- nvidia-glx-legacy has disabled GL by default https://launchpad.net/bugs/91064 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 91064] Re: nvidia-glx-legacy has disabled GL by default
Well there are now three sets of drivers: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/README/appendix-a.html o Legacy 71xx drivers (broadly GeForce 2 and below) o New legacy 96xx (broadly GeForce 2MX- GeForce 4 4000) o Supported new drivers (broadly GeForce 5000 and above) I strongly suspect the new drivers will no enable GL even when composite is in use as NVIDIA feel the worst of the composite problem have been ironed out in newer Xorg releases: .http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/README/appendix-s.html -- nvidia-glx-legacy has disabled GL by default https://launchpad.net/bugs/91064 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 91064] Re: nvidia-glx-legacy has disabled GL by default
Let me rewrite one of the above sentences: I strongly suspect the new drivers will now enable GL even when composite is in use... I do not know what the situation is regarding the new legacy 96xx drivers. Information about Composite and the 7184 drivers is found here http://http.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-7184/README/readme.txt under the (app-u) heading. -- nvidia-glx-legacy has disabled GL by default https://launchpad.net/bugs/91064 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 91064] Re: nvidia-glx-legacy has disabled GL by default
The problem is also present with restricted-manager. When nvidia legacy driver is installed it cannot handle composite extension. So, either composite should be disabled with driver installation or Option AllowGLXWithComposite true should be added to Device section in xorg.conf . So, I can confirm the bug. It was present in edgy and now in Feisty it's still there. -- nvidia-glx-legacy has disabled GL by default https://launchpad.net/bugs/91064 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Not dissimilar to Bug #90688 which was for fglrx . Behaviour might be different for the other two NVIDIA drivers. -- nvidia-glx-legacy has disabled GL by default https://launchpad.net/bugs/91064 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
