Compiz and Nvidia in Arch
 
Hey.
I've just installed the latest version of Arch, and i've installed and configured xorg, and XFCE successfuly,using nvidia-xconfig.
I wanted to try Compiz-fusion, so i've installed it also. however,when i try to start it manually to see if it runs without hitch,gives me the following:
Code:

$ fusion-icon

* Setected Session: unknown
* Searching for installed applications...
* No GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap with direct rendering context
... nor with indirect rendering, this isn't going to work!
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/bin/fusion-icon", line 57, in <module>
  from FusionIcon.interface import choose_interface
 File "/usr/lib/phyton2.5/site-packages/FusionIcon/interface.py", line 53, in <module>
  import start
 File "/usr/lib/phyton2.5/site-packages/FusionIcon/start.py", line 64, in <module>
  env.set()
 File "/usr/lib/phyton2.5/site-packages/FusionIcon/environment.py", line 140, in set
  if not self.Xgl and self.glx_vendor == "NVIDIA Corporation" :
AttributeError: Environment instance has no attribute 'glx_vendor'

What does this mean? What do i have to do?

Thx in advance.

Did you setup your xorg.conf for compositing?

This should do it for the current drivers:
Code:

nvidia-xconfig --composite
Or this for the legacy 96xx drivers:
Code:

nvidia-xconfig --composite --add-argb-glx-visuals

Sorry, only could answer it now. I reconfigured xorg as you said and it worked like a charm. Thanks!! :D
