Hi,

I'm trying to use compiz-fusion on a laptop with an nvidia card.
I have a 2.6.30-gentoo-r2 kernel, and the following
Code:
x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.2-r1
x11-base/xorg-x11-7.4
[ebuild   R   ] x11-wm/compiz-0.8.2-r2  USE="cairo dbus gnome gtk svg -fuse -kde -kde4" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] x11-plugins/compiz-plugins-main-0.8.2  USE="gnome" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] x11-libs/libcompizconfig-0.8.2  0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] x11-plugins/compiz-plugins-extra-0.8.2  USE="gnome" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] x11-wm/compiz-fusion-0.8.2  USE="emerald gnome -kde -unsupported" 0 kB

Starting compiz-manager gives me this on the first try:
Quote:
compiz-manager

xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Starting emerald
/usr/bin/compiz (core) - Error: Could not acquire compositing manager selection on screen 0 display ":0.0"
/usr/bin/compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

I then interrupted with Ctrl-C and started the script again:

Starting emerald
/usr/bin/compiz (cube) - Warn: Failed to load slide: freedesktop

And compiz comes up but is extremely slow, impossible to move or open a window, processor load is 100%, as if some basic acceleration was missing.

What could that be and how to fix it? Are there kernel configs that would influence compiz (mtrr's)?

Thanks

gw

Anything suspect in that?

Is it possible you have another compositing manager running (metacity, etc.)? See the below:
