No one has answered my questions and I'm pretty sure there is nothing in compiz that changed that could possibly have an effect on this. It's going to be an nvidia<->xorg thing for sure. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Package changed: compiz (Ubuntu) => xorg

I agree with J N B. Since everything was working with the restricted driver before, I think more focus need to be put into whatever changed in Compiz and X.org between the versions. -- Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBox/ATI fglrx driver https://bugs.launchpad.ne

Please consider the following: 1. VNC with Compiz enabled worked prior to Jaunty using nvidia-restricted v. 173, v.177, & v. 180 (and apparently with the other graphics drivers listed in the title.) 2. VNC with Compiz enabled DOES NOT work in Jaunty with nvidia- restricted v.173, v.177, v.180

I have used 4 of my 5 Linux computers with VNC, nvidia-restricted, and Compiz since Feisty without a single hiccup. This is a regression to when I used Edgy, Compiz/Beryl and Intel 810 graphics (that's almost 3 YEARS!) Back then the solution to everything was 'disable Compiz.' My ENTIRE NETWORK

I agree with Chris Balcum, so far everything submitted to date with this bug has been a workaround. and changing the window manager from compiz to metacity makes no sense as a workaround, because if you didn't want to run compiz you wouldn't be effected by the bug in the first place, and I like co

Also, does this happen if you enable metacity compositing or kwin compositing? The post on the compiz mailing list describes how compiz has always worked, not some recent change. It's the way that all compositors work. -- Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBox/ATI fg

Has anyone tried using the version of compiz that used to work with the version of everything else that doesn't work? Basically intrepid's compiz with jaunty everything else. Pretty sure there is nothing compiz can do here so that would still not work. -- Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-r

I am using Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 and noticing this problem. So far, the easiest fix I found was to run metacity --replace on the server machine. This kills the compiz window manager and replaces it with metacity which enables vnc clients to run fine. I am able to notice the changes at runtime, so

Using x11vnc is more or less the same as using the noxdamage flag in the patched version provided by John Wendell. Is FreeNX really an alternative? Can it see the desktop like it was, or does it start a completely new session? -- Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBo

FreeNX is not a solution. It is not in the repositories and is not a default installation item. It also will not connect me to an existing session. Still awaiting a fix to this. Why has there been no research into why this broke between 8.10 and 9.04? -- Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidi

Use FreeNX (http://freenx.berlios.de/). IMO it's much better than VNC anyway, it automatically sets your screen res, and works with compiz, of course. Rolo. On Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 7:44 PM, edub wrote: > Is this any closer to being fixed? Or, is there a way for a normal > person that doesn't
