compiz-fusion and indirect-rendering on nvidia

[cooljoe]

I am running ubuntu feisty, and am using the nvidia drivers for my go 5200. Because It only has 64 megs of memory, I am forced to use indirect-rendering to solve the black windows problem, and I have been doing this for a while, and everything was working fine. I just recently updated to the newest build and now it seems that indirect-rendering is no longer working. Is there another possible fix? I am using the tux family repositories if that helps...

i have the same problem since the last update.
i have to use the command
compiz --replace --indirect-rendering
But now, it doesn't work....
I try the command :
compiz --replace --loose-binding
and it doesn't work too.

I have a nvidiageForce 6150 integrated...It works nice since the last updated of compizfusion. If someone have a solution.....

sorry for my english, i'm french ! i hope you understand me.:confused:

I'm running opensuse 10.3 and I I have this card. With the new nvidia drivers, you may not need indirect rendering or loose binding. Here are relevant entries in my xorg.conf:

at the bottom of the "Screen" section:
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "DamageEvents" "True"
EndSection


and, at the bottom of the file:

Section "Extensions"
Option "NvAGP" "0"
Option "DAMAGE" "Enable"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
Option "RENDER" "Enable"
EndSection

Might be worth a try.

Hi
I have the same issue the indirect rendering do not work anymore since the last update. when too much windows are opened the windows do not refresh. To refresh them I need to resize them.
Klaatu when you talk about latest driver,which one are you talking about. I tried a few times ago all kind of tweak on my xorg.conf and no one removed the black window for me except the indirect-rendering option to run compiz... Anyway I will try to update my driver when upgrading to gutsy, still a few days to wait for the final release (yeah I use my computer for production and try to not test to much beta on it, except compiz cause that rocks!)
