compiz white screen on Fedora 10
 
Hi

I recently installed Fedora 10 and compiz. I was trying out compiz on gnome, when I enable desktop effects from the system menu I get a blank white screen. The cube rotation and all other effects work but everything is white. I searched around and found that using indirect rendering might solve the problem so I tried running compiz like this :

Code:

$LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 INTEL_BATCH=1 compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp &
and
Code:

$LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace &
still I get a blank white screen.

Also when I enable GL desktop from the System menu, I end up with no window decorator. I have gtk-window-decorator and emerald installed, but "gtk-window-decorator --replace &" or "emerald --replace &" fail to load the respective window decorator. Although "metacity --replace &" brings back the window decorator but GL desktop is disabled as a result of that. I have searched quite a bit for this white screen problem with compiz but I couldn't find a solution that worked for me. Also I had Fedora Core 8 earlier and compiz worked fine then. So I guess its not a problem with my display card. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I have had problems like this, and found it difficult to get help. The best resource I have found is here --> http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Troubleshooting#mistakes

There is a section on the white screen you have.
