On both my brother's machine and my own, I cannot get Doom 3 to run while using a 3D desktop. I must turn of 3D and then the game will launch. It complains about lacking virtual memory when attempting to launch. Any solutions?

We both use Nvidia video cards with Nvidia drivers. (GeForce 7300 GS) I have 2G of RAM, 667 MHz.

You have nothing in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?

by 3D desktop do you mean XGL?

XGL is inherently broken. Don't use it.

I guess we need a list of what works and what doesn't.

Does anyone have such a list that they are willing to post.

I wouldn't bother trying as performance will suffer anyway - if I play sauerbraten with compiz enabled I get 10 - 20 fps with it off I get 50 - 100 fps. Fusion-icon is a handy little app for switching between compiz and whatever other WM.
