Hi,

 

My frustration is, that I can't get properly working nvidia driver with compiz. Let me explain...

 

Hardware:

CPU: Intel core 2 duo e4300

RAM: 1G

HDD: 160 G SATA

BRAND: HP dx2300

Onboard video: Intel

PCIE video: Nvidia Gforce FX 8600GT (silent) - 512 MB RAM

Monitor: HP p1130 CRT - 1600x1200@85Hz

 

Software:

Mandriva 2008.0

Kernel 2.6.22.9-2mdv

compiz-fusion & compiz - latest version

 

What I expect:

- compiz working fast

- games working fast

- full opengl support

 

What is the reality:

Case 1 - free (opensource) nvidia drivers:

- compiz - native support - veri slow

- compiz - xgl - unavailable

- tremulouse - 1600x1200 - 20-30fps

- ta:spring - not working

 

Case 2 - dkms-nvidia-current nvidia drivers:

- compiz - native support - laggy (ex. wobbly windows, at maximize drows 4-5 frames for hole effect)

- compiz - xgl - perfect

- tremulouse - 1600x1200 - full detail - 1 player local game 90FPS (max. possible 90)

- tremulouse - 1600x1200 - full detail - 20 player online game with many objects - 45-60FPS (max. possible 90)

- ta:spring - not working - becouse direct rendering required

- glxinfo says direct rendering: NO

- nvidia-settings application says I'm not running proprietary driver

 

Case 3 - original nvidia drivers from nvidia.com:

- compiz - native support - laggy (ex. wobbly windows, at maximize drows 4-5 frames for hole effect)

- compiz - xgl - option is selectable, on X start, after log-in , white screen, X frozen

- tremulouse - 1600x1200 - full detail - 1 player local game 90FPS (max. possible 90)

- tremulouse - 1600x1200 - full detail - 20 player online game with many objects - 80-90FPS (max. possible 90)

- ta:spring - working

- glxinfo says direct rendering: YES

- nvidia-setting application works properly

 

What I want on my system:

- direct rendering: YES

- compiz (nativ or XGL) but working fast and smooth

- games without low fps

 

PS: System is up-to-date. Latest updates installed.

 

Thank you, any ideea is welcome.

solution is add this option to compiz at startup time: --loose-binding --replace ccp
