Can't use compositing when using dual monitors!
Some months ago I only used one monitor with Ubuntu (9.04) and compositing worked perfectly- Compiz and Docky.. everything looked great.
Then I got a new monitor but it wouldn't work with my NVIDIA graphic card so I had to download a new driver. Now dual-monitoring works fine, but the compositing is messed up! System information: I'm using Linux-x86 with the 180.44 version of the NVIDIA driver and I'm using something called "Xinerama"- and I configure this using "NVIDIA X Server Settings". I hope someone can help me, I love having two monitors but I also like using subtle compositing- surely it's possible to have both? |
What has changed?
From the way you tell it, just the monitor. Then your problem is in xor4g.conf, surely. If anything else (driver, system) has changed that is suspect also. |
The only things that changed were adding the extra monitor and switching between the GNOME Desktop Manager to the NVIDIA X Server Settings
|
Nvidia drivers are steady enough, and I would read the docs to see if that driver will do what you are trying to do. In particular, if you are loading fewer modules in xorg.conf, I would fix that.
I haven't really used the Gnome Desktop Manager. But it's been my experience rhat when you _really_ need some oddball settings, automated tools fall short. Look for an example xorg.conf for your setup and copy/convert that to your system specs. |
