Hello Again, I decided to re-compile the kernel because of the last two comments on this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-701291.html > Tails9 > February 20th, 2008, 03:59 PM > After reading alot, I guess I have to compile the kernel without the nvidiafb > module, because I'd like to use the official nvidia drivers so I can run > compiz (again), but this time without XGL (so I have direct rendering (so > the videotearing will be gone) ). Tails9 > March 2nd, 2008, 02:13 PM > I recompiled the kernel without the framebuffer support, reinstalled the > nvidiadrivers with envy and the problem is gone. 1. "rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.33.4-95.fc13.src.rpm" 2. cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/ 3. rpmbuild -bp kernel.spec 4. "cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.33/linux-2.6.33.x86_64/" vi Makefile" EXTRAVERSION="-noframebuffer" 3. "make menuconfig" 4. "Device Drivers ---> Graphics support ---> Support for frame buffer devices" 5. Uncheck "nVidia Framebuffer Support" & "nVidia Riva support" 6. "exit" back to the main menu. 7. Select "exit" again, and choose to save my new configuration file 8. "make rpm" It's building now. We'll see what happens. Steven P.
