XGL + compiz-fusion = white screen

Hi all,
I've got a problem when I try to run compiz-fusion with xgl server. The only thing I can see is a white screen. I've got nVidia GeForce FX5600 go. I know that I can use compiz without xgl but my video card is quite crappy, especially when using blur plugin. It's just too slow for shader stuff. I used to have xgl with beryl and I remeber that it was quite smooth.
Does anybody know how to get rid off the annoying white screen?

Thanks in advance.

Try this:

# nvidia-xconfig --composite

# nvidia-xconfig --allow-glx-with-composite

# nvidia-xconfig --render-accel

# nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals

and I already tried the new nvidia drivers and also nvidia-9631 drivers.

Re: XGL + compiz-fusion = white screen

Hello zoidberg do you still have this problem?
I had it too. The solution was here -> http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=36194
I don't know why but on my system libGL.so.1.2 was at another place and therefore it has not been found by fusion-icon.

Re: XGL + compiz-fusion = white screen

Thanks a lot.It actually helped me. However I had to compile mesa-xgl first, because I didn't have a library libGL.so.1.2.
