Debian Sid Compiz Nvidia error

Hey all,

I had compiz all working from the Sid repos the other day. Now I have a white cube. There's a weird error about "No GLXFBConfig for depth 32" but I'm only using depth of 24. Here's the error

Code:

Window manager warning: Failed to read theme from file /usr/share/themes/Clearlo

oks/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml: Failed to open file '/usr/share/themes/Clea

rlooks/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml': No such file or directory

/usr/bin/compiz.real: Couldn't bind redirected window 0x1400008 to texture

/usr/bin/compiz.real: pixmap 0x22000b5 can't be bound to texture

The last few lines scroll on for a while about the pixmaps and redirection. BTW, I'm using the Nvidia Beta drivers.

Any idea what's causing this?

Well, I got rid of the "No GLXFBConfig for depth 32" error by adding

Code:

Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

to the nvidia device section of xorg.conf.

But I still have the pixmap and texture errors. I think the theme error is because I'm using compiz --replace in kde, so there's no gnome themes installed...

I solved the problem and can see it's going to be a bit annoying. It appears that when I updated the system, there was a change to xserver-xorg. This resulted in the white face on the cube. I did another update a bit later and it completely broke the 3D acceleration.

Anyway, the solution it seems is to just rebuild the nvidia driver every time the xserver is updated. I can see this will be a bit inconvenient since I'm running Sid... Maybe I'll try using the nvidia kernel module from the repositories or the m-a method now (neither worked for me the first time I tried installing the nvidia drivers).

I ran into a similar problem in beryl using AIGLX. I got the same error regarding color depth. I found an answer here:
http://forum.go-compiz.org/viewtopic...0756d54ed29055

Basically, the following two options need to go somewhere in your "Screen" section:

Code:

Option        "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

Option        "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"

When I added those, I got the titlebars to work just fine. If I comment them out again, they go away and the errors come back. I hope this helps!

I did that but still have no title bars. Can somebody post up a full working xorg.conf file? Thanks.

I got it. After all the messing around, I disabled and re-enabled the Window Decoration and the title appeared.
