AleXxiO Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) hi, i installed mandriva 2007.0 on my pc and i have an nvidia 7300se video card. i installed the proper nvidia linux drivers for that card. from the first installation, i can't get any windowmanager started !! when i start my pc, after everything is loaded, it asks me to insert root password for kwin app. just this way i can have the right screen, otherwise windows appears without the upper bar (where we can see the icons for closing a window, minimizing it and to maximizing it )... if i try to install beryl or compiz, everything is installed but nothing can run properly. if i try to change my xorg.conf, the system automatically rename it as xorg.conf.old and load a new xorg.conf with wrong configuration... then read this: [stefano@localhost ~]$ beryl ************************************************************** * Beryl system compatiblity check * ************************************************************** Detected xserver : NVIDIA Checking Display :0 ... Checking for XComposite extension : failed No composite extension 134544637 screens detected. Currently we cannot guarantee that Beryl will work correctly with multiple X screens. Using the --no-context-share command line option can help. Please report any success to the beryl developer mailing list. The list can be found at lists.beryl-project.org what can i do? thanks for help Edited June 12, 2007 by AleXxiO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opvask Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Late reply... As far as I know MDV 2007.0 is still using an old version of Beryl. The Xcomposite error could indicate that you are missing one of these in your xorg.conf: - Option "Composite" (under section "extensions") or - Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" (under section "device") But I guess this should be setup automatically when you enable native 3d and beryl from the MCC http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Trouble...lose_buttons.29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
