That's obiouvsly an error that nVidia should fix,
A general question. This whole "copy-rendering" issue only comes up because NVIDIA, as the only vendor, implemented an experimental TFP implementation, right? Afaik. if they never had released it, nobody would be demanding it (nor blame them for something with a "Black Window Bug" which no other vendor has implemented). I fail to understand why "copy-rendering" is required as on any other vendor you have to go either XGL or AIGLX ending up with a totally working Compiz environment aside of the copy path being way slower than the former two "correct" solutions for composited environments. Maybe someone might (feel the need to) explain that to me? :) Cheers --- M.S. _______________________________________________ compiz mailing list compiz@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/compiz
