** Summary changed: - desktop-effects fails without explanation with nvidia GeForce Go 7400 and nv driver + When desktop-effects fails it gives no explanation
** Description changed: Binary package hint: desktop-effects I couldn't find a list of supported graphic cards for compiz anywhere - but for the record it doesn't work with my GeForce Go 7400. It just thinks for a while and then says "Desktop effects could not be be enabled" I understand (now) that it only works with the nvidia-glx driver. - desktop-effects should check for the precence of nvidia-glx and if it's - mising it should display some text, perhaps: "Desktop effects does not - support the graphics driver you have installed (nv). To enable desktop - effects you will need the nvidia-glx driver which you can find in the - Restricted repository." + desktop-effects should check for the presence of supported drivers and + if it's missing it should display some text, perhaps: "Desktop effects + does not support the graphics driver you have installed. To enable + desktop effects you will need to install one of the drivers listed at + http://blah.com"; ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Wed Mar 14 22:36:30 2007 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 7.04 Uname: Linux duncan-laptop 2.6.20-10-generic #2 SMP Mon Mar 12 00:02:49 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux ** Tags added: ati -- When desktop-effects fails it gives no explanation https://launchpad.net/bugs/92370 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
