View Full Version : Desktop Effects Problems on 2 Comps

I have two computers. One is a newer one with a 7600 GT, this one is about 2 years old with a 6600 GT. The newer one has an Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 processor, this one has a n AMD 64 3000+. My problem is not that desktop effects don't work. They seem to work fine, it's just that the top bar of each window where the maximize, minimize, and close buttons are, are no longer visible. It's like they are just cut off. This happens on both computers. At first, the newer computer (7600 GT) worked fine but after a few minutes it exhibited the same problems: top bar wasn't visible.

Any ideas?

can you post your output of glxinfo here and your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

thanks!

I'll start with my computer:
