Hi guys,

I have a problem with Xorg, compiz and nvidia drivers. I tried all this combinations:

Xorg-server 1.3.0.0-r2 1.4-r2 1.4.090
Nvidia-drivers 100.14.19 100.14.23 169.07
x11-wm/compiz-fusion 0.6.0

With xorg-server 1.3.0.0-r2 and nvidia-driver 100.14.23 i had no issue.
But after upgrading to Xorg-server 1.4-r2 random freezing still happen (followed by a xorg server restart dued to xdm).
So i tried to upgrade to 1.4.090. But in this way all system freeze and i need an hardware reboot.
Same thing happens with nvidia-drivers 100.14.19.
This problem occurs more frequently if I install nvidia-drivers v. 169.07.

This is the Xorg.log after reboot

I have the same problem in Ubuntu 8.04

.
Xorg randomly freezes(except mouse pointer) and then crashes but only compiz.
Without using opengl this not happens.
Sometimes i need to completely restart the computer

What NVidia Card do you have?

With my geForce 7300 I found that any NVidia driver after 100.14.09 hard locks the machine,
on my AMD64 box, usually when you move the mouse. Locks up the fastest in Opera.
You have to remove power to recover, not good.

I had to put this in /etc/portage/package.mask to
keep the machine running:

My problem it's a little bit different.
Desktop close with a video corruption image and xorg restart....

The problem is that i have tried the 169.12 too, but the problem is the same!
Only with 100.14.19 i have no problem.

Another info: the problem occurs frequently when i click on the view button of the kopete "bubble" message.
