Did you check to see what driver you need? nVidia's now are split into about 4 or 5 editions. > The machines both work fine using the standard nv driver, I'm just > unable to enable desktop effects.

Go to nVidia's website: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us Enter your model of GPU. Pick Linux 32-bit (assuming that's what you're running.) For my Riva TNT2, I picked "legacy" as it's not in any other category. This took me to here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_71.86.11.html So I need the v71.86.11 drivers. So I went into Synaptic and searched for "nvidia-glx". This shows all the nVidia drivers. I just picked v71, installed it and rebooted. Simples! But you need to install the right one.
