The fact that screen savers don't work smoothly is a know bug.
** Summary changed:
- EnvyNG nvidia GeForce FX 5200 3D fails
+ gnuchess should suggest the installation of python-opengl python-gtkglext1
** Description changed:
- I recently upgraded my video card from an nvidia GeForce2MX64 w/32MB ram
- to an nvidia GeForce FX 5200 AGP-slot w/ 128MB ram. Now not all of the
- 3D effects are available when utilizing the either the nvidia restricted
- drivers, or the EnvyNG drivers (installed "automatically"). TheEnvyNG
- installation appeared to go smoothly. I can activate the "Extra" visual
- desktop effects, which seem to be working. However, many of the screen-
- savers no longer work. The most interesting case is the "Circuit" screen
- saver, which will run for about 0.5 - 2 seconds before freezing up; I
- believe this is indicative a larger problem.
+
+ UPDATE: 3D works however 3D mode of gnuchess doesn't work since python-opengl
and python-gtkglext1 are not installed

I've attached information about my machine. Key info (?) from running
'compiz':
Checking for Xgl: not present.
/usr/bin/compiz.real (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling
YV12 image format
GConf backend: There is an unsupported value at path
/apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge. Settings from this
path won't be read. Try to remove that value so that operation can continue
properly.
I'm somewhat new to Linux/Ubuntu, so I'm not entirely sure what I should
manually change to correct the problem (without breaking my
system)...more below:

I hope this helps...any feedback (with some helpful instructions for an
