scarecrow Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Oh... then I may suspect the way xorg is built? But no, xorg is not kernel dependent in any way. What do you get as /etc/xorg.conf after running # nvidia-xconfig --composite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have a xorg.conf on my Mandriva 2008.1 box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I already have a xorg.conf on my Mandriva 2008.1 box I'd be utterly surprised if you didn't, as Mandy 2008.1 does not have xorg 1.5.x and input hotplugging... so a usable xorg.conf is mandatory, unless of course you're using a DE like XFCE4, which can also run (with quite some limitations) on framebuffer.

ilia_kr Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Did you mean "/etcX11/xorg.conf"? I always had it.

ilia_kr Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 If I turn compiz on, all motions become fine and smooth again, but i have no window decoration then... How do I solve that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 You could install emerald, the windows decorator for compiz. After you install it, launch the CompizConfig Settings Manager and select Window decorations. In the text box next to Command, type "emerald".

scarecrow Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 If I turn compiz on, all motions become fine and smooth again, but i have no window decoration then... How do I solve that? Run once from console emerald --replace If you still have no decorations, call "fusion-icon" (or compiz settings directly) and there under effects check the "window decoration" item in.

ilia_kr Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I had a similar problem on openSuse, so i went to their forum and found a solution. All i needed to do was: su - nvidia-xconfig --composite nvidia-xconfig --render-accel nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24 But using compiz isn't a real solution, because it slows the system a bit. It is especially noticeable when playing 3D games like OpenArena. If only I could fix my graphics problem without using compiz... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 If only I could fix my graphics problem without using compiz... Did you consider Openbox? It works fine here with both Gnome and XFCE4, and probably KDE4 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
