Dapper Drake + XGL + NVIDIA == Horrible artifacts :/
Hello
I use a Dell XPS M170 which is equipped with a Geforce GO 7800GTX which is equipped with 256mb ram I've previously had XGL running on an ubuntu install (the version before dapper drake) and I've also had it running without complaints under SuSE 10.1 ... However after following the guide at: http://www.tectonic.co.za/view.php?id=916 Which basically made me do the following: *Create an .Xsession file and write the following into it: Code:
#!/bin/sh * chmod +x ~/.Xsession I choose the default session so that the .Xsession file is run and I get the checkered background followed by a blue'ish background which is apparantly an indication of XGL and compiz starting. However.. I'm getting a, excuse my french, crapload of artifacts once inside the gui.. Whenever I expand a menu something happens, the main window gets all unreadable and so on.... I've tried running with the (outdated) 77.76 driver that ubuntu provides and currently I'm using the latest and greatest from Nvidia - 87.74 But every time I try to start the XGL/compiz session, I get this horrible artifact hell and it's completely unuseable :( Any ideas? Anyone who had the same stuff happen ? I'd rather not compile too much stuff by hand as it's sort of a development machine and so the installation is meant to last for a while :) |
