|
|
Hi,
I have a laptop (Dell Latitude D800) with a 32 MB nVidia GeForce 4 4200 Go. When I try to do any composite rendering stuff (either by enabling Shadows/Transparency in KDE or using xcompmgr), X hangs within seconds, requiring a hard reboot. It usually happens when transparency and shadows try to work at the same time, although it is almost as bad with just one of them enabled.
I'm using xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1, love-sources-2.6.11-r2, nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174 and nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r4. My xorg.conf is as follows:

Disabling RenderAccel fixes the hangs, but at an extreme cost in performance. Can anyone help?

I'm not sure about this but I think that there is some problem with renderaccel and 1.0.7* drivers. |

Thanks, pussi!
IT WORKED!!! Reverting to 6629 solved the problem automagically. Now my desktop runs a little slower with all those shadows and transparencies, but it's cool as hell ("cool as hell" - I never thought I'd say that)! Might actually make a few people convert to Linux
