[gary4gar]

I am having problem with compiz fusion, main problem is the My whole desktop keeps disappearing in parts, then comes back for few secs when i hover mouse pointer the them.

Here is a random screenshot, to explain my problem


For now i have disabled compiz :|

[kalpik]

Bad drivers? Also try removing the .compiz directory from home.. It could be a bad setting..

[T159]

disable few effects, water and reflection, see for what combo it works well

[praka123]

not much idea.still driver issue
:?:

[gary4gar]

I am using nvidia 6200 card

[praka123]

^one thing-go to nvidia's forum (nvnews.net /...) and explain ur problem.there are nvidia devels to fix.

also make sure ur using 169.12 as driver.

[gary4gar]

I got the latest version according to Repos
1723

[infra_red_dude]

Download and install drivers from nvidia's site.

[gary4gar]

I don't that would make a difference as newer driver have fixes for 8 series GPU. my card is of 6 series. It has a fully stable driver.

Something else is the culprit.

[update]
tried installing driver from nvidia's site.
BOOM!
X failed to resart:D

tried booting in VESA mode also but same error.

ERROR: Too many arguments

[gary4gar]

here is a log

[abhinandh]

Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
^^^^from the log.

reinstall the driver.post your xorg.conf too.

[rahimveron]

Window borders disappearing? isnt it?

[gary4gar]

Removed nvidia-glx-new as it was confilcting with driver.
now got x back but compiz issue is
Still the same:|

@gauri:ur driver is old.as you dont want to install using nvidia-installer the latest driver(module compiled),you should get zen kernel for Ubuntu(much faster) and also install the nvidia .deb which they provide :) it is easy!
(what I do is to use m-i to compile the modules.leave it anywasy!)

here is the link:
2.6.24 Zen Ubuntu Kernel - Faster, Stable, More Hardware Support (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=623874)
