Nvidia lengency drivers work with compiz?

[tommy909808]

I used compiz fusion on the same hardware and all but somehow i can't get compiz to work and all with a Nvidia Quadro 2 pro. i tried the 71.xx and th 93.xx. Can anyone help me?

Try the drivers from synaptic.
I got my same hardware working before with 7.10 or something, but couldn't do it with the Nvidia drivers this time. I used the glx-new drivers and it worked like a charm.

kk in xorg.conf do i have the driver set to nvidia or nvidia_new?

Mine is set to Nvidia, but I didn't change anything after the install, I just rebooted.

Does your card have less than 64 MB of video RAM? If so, then Compiz Fusion won't run on it.

[tommy909808]

Can it be equal too?:lolflag:

[Happy_Man]

Well, if it's got 64 MB of RAM and is a Geforce 4 or higher, then yes, it'll run. Anything less than a Geforce 4, I think with the possible exception of Geforce 2 MX, won't run Compiz Fusion.

Hi and could you give us some specs on the system? The main thing I am thinking is it a laptop?

Additional question is have you tried the compiz-check from the FAQ's?

Weird posted at the same time! any way i have an old dell with wireless and it isn't a laptop , it's and old pentuim 3 650 desktop with a nvidia quadro2 pro.

[tommy909808]

Gathering information about your system...

Distribution: Ubuntu 8.04
Desktop environment: GNOME
Graphics chip: nVidia Corporation NV15GL [Quadro2 Pro] (rev a4)
Driver in use: nvidia
Rendering method: Xgl

Checking if it's possible to run Compiz on your system...

Checking for texture_from_pixmap... [SKIP]
Checking for non power of two support... [SKIP]
Checking for composite extension... [ OK ]
Checking for FBConfig... [ OK ]
Checking for hardware/setup problems... [SKIP]

At least one check had to be skipped:
Error: Xgl on Nvidia chip.

Ok are the graphics onboard or is it a additional card? What I am thinking is the memory if it is shared this could be a issue.

[tommy909808]

what i know is there is no itergrated graphics chip, its a card.
