[Bug 99933] Re: enable desktop effects crashes system
Hello, I am having exactly the same problem,i know that i do need to restricted drivers, and a know that they are enabled and working (i have run glxgears -info) and i get ~4000fps with my Nvidia 6600. however when i click restricted driver management it tells me: your hardware does not need any restricted drivers This is blatantly not true. i think it might have something to do with the direct rendering: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xdriinfo Xlib: extension XFree86-DRI missing on display :0.0. Screen 0: not direct rendering capable. hope this helps, -- enable desktop effects crashes system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99933 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 99933] Re: enable desktop effects crashes system
No! it does not. There are several things going on here but there is definitely a problem beyond Compiz. From a fresh install of Feisty last night, and then applying all updates this is what I experience... 1. nVidia is loaded with restricted drivers: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-12-generic 2. Click on System - Admin - Restricted Drivers Manager it reports that Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers. So why are they shown as loaded in Synaptic? 3. Click on System - Prefs - Desktop Effects Button is clickable and when you do click it screen goes white. (Escape pulls you back.) I honestly believe that this is happening due to the correct nVidia drivers being selected for the hardware, but since this once worked on this machine in Herd5, I think it needs to be fixed. If anyone wants me to try a fix just email me as I have a fresh beta installed on a HD which will remain pristine for the sole purpose of fixing this bug. PS. I am running on a Dell Latitude D800 with nVidia Corporation NV28 [GeForce4 Ti 4200 Go AGP. The xorg.conf shows driver as nv. (my xorg.conf is attached.) Please open this bug back up.
