screen redraw (nvidia fx5500 - openbox/xcompmgr) and compiz issues

jtkiv · 2011-02-25 21:10:26

posted a while back about nvidia issues (was unable to use nvidia drivers and thus 3D), finally managed to get them working! kinda.

im running openbox with xcompmgr and docky. transparency is working finally, and desktop is starting to look nice. the only issue is that windows are often failing to draw properly (especially when started maximized). i can do the "eraser" thing, and clear up a window, sometimes clears just when clicking in it. ive googled this and that, unable to find a solution. suppose its related to nvidia, since it has been a pain as of late, though some threads seem to point towards xcompmgr.

also, now that i have the nvidia drivers, id like to try compiz as a WM. i made a new user to avoid modifying my xinitrc, and tried to launch it. result was a black screen, though there is an xterm in the top right (put in xinitrc). i was able to reboot from this xterm, so i know it works. i launched ccsm from it, and it came up as a black and white streaky mess. it was shifting around, so i left it alone for ~5min, but it never rendered.

i think that these problems are related, compiz is just much worse. any ideas would be appreciated.

p.s. i have a feeling that my acpid socket path in xorg.conf is wrong... right? -- just saw in the log where the socket is. says it found it. guess it doesnt need me.

anyway to get scrollable quotes?

The log throws errors related to ACPI so I would remove the ACPI Option line from the "Screen" stanza of /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Also, try changing your Default Depth and Depth to 24 in that same stanza.

Use [ code ] tags

@jasonwryan - thanks.

@lagagnon - removed that, haven't rebooted to see what happens yet. -- saw somewhere depth for acer x223w was 16. i can't find that now, and i changed it a while back to see if it would fix other issues. so i'll reset to 24.

depth didn't help. Commenting out xcompmgr in my autostart.sh fixed window problems with openbox. compiz abviously wasn't affected by that change, and it still looks all black. perhaps ill give cairo-compmgr a shot.

----------

using cairo-compmgr solves the window draw problem, but comes with its own. docky fails with

Cairo.Context: called from finalization thread, programmer is missing a call to Dispose
