All,
Is there a update to compiz expected on FC6? I have issues with
"desktop-effects" and i believe that they are related to compiz.
Processor: AMD Turion X2 (Dual Core)
Graphics Card: nVidia GeForce Go 6100 (driver 1.0-9631)
Issue: When the desktop-effects is enabled, a "tooltip" kind of "shadow"
is seen with mouse.
Mouse behavior is erratic, sometimes feels like lost control over
the mouse.
Title/Menu bar disappears on windows.
Thanks in advance
Srikanth
These are issues with the current nVidia drivers and not compiz or beryl.
There are known problems with video memory constraints since the
addition of the TFP (texture_from_pixmap) functionality required for
compiz/beryl, which in turn cause multiple problems with composting
managers running under Xorg. These problems manifest themselves in
multiple and confounding ways, hence the multitude of posts on this matter.
My take is that this issue is not a bug per se, but a fundamental design
problem with the current nVidia drivers. This opinion is largely
supported by the time interval over which this problem has been known
and the lack of a fix to date. This time interval suggests the need for
a re-design of the relevant parts of the driver and not just a bug
fix/patch.
Keep track of the threads here:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14
and stay abreast of the details of any new driver releases as they
become available. So far, there has been no formal announcement by
nVidia of a possible timeline for resolution.
HTH,
