3D effects goes down with Compiz

[Chogogo]

Hello.
I just installed ubuntu 9.04, I installed the Nvidia Driver for my Grph card and I have 3D effects (rendering yes) but when I activate the pluggin "Rotate cube", the 3D asceleration disappear and it comes back when I disable it. I have two monitors arranged as a "big desktop" and they are configure as "Twin view" in the Nvidia-Settings.

Any Idea, What can I do?

Thanks and may God bless you!

To add to andrea000 question, what model of nvidia graphics and which driver?

[Chogogo]

does it give you any errors
Hi! no it Doesn't. your really don't notice that the effects are down until you close a window. When I deactivate the "rotate cube" pluggin from the Compiz-Manager, The effects comes back again...with absolutly no warning. other pluggins works without problems...the Cube is the problem

here I give more details about my hardware/software

Graph. Card: nVidida GeForce 8400GS
Driver installed using "Envyng"

I used the same hardware and software/drivers and installation method with my previos OS with the same hardware (the same PC) and It worked perfect.


Here I copy my Xorg (generated by "nvidia-Settings") in case you need it

Thanks for help and may God Bless you.

Try running compiz in the terminal

Hello. I ran it from terminal and this is what i got:

================================

After one minute I got a warning from the sistem "The screen was not composite" and I lost effects and Windows decorators.

And then I got a lot of info in the Terminal...I mean..A lot, Here I paste it:

I have to say also that when I run it from compiz Icon, it works. All other pluggins seem to work perfect, It is just the cube that damages the rest and leave me with out 3D effects.

Thanks and may God bless you..
