compiz-fusion / emerald problem on kde / nvidia

I have a problem trying to get window decorations to start up on compiz-fusion running on an nvidia geforce 7025

i have followed the wiki on installing compiz-fusion and setting up my nvidia card ( i also installed xgl but i don't think its needed)

i have installed; xgl compiz-fusion-kde and compiz-decorator-kde

i setup xgl to start using the startxgl option and compix-fusion to start by exporting KDEWM

startxgl didn't work exiting with the message ;

dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/xgl/libglxext.so: undefined symbol: CALL_ProgramParameter4fvNV

Fatal server error:
No GLX modules loaded
dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/xgl/libglxext.so: undefined symbol: CALL_ProgramParameter4fvNV

FatalError re-entered, aborting
No GLX modules loaded
xinit:  Server error.

but when i started startx still exporting KDEWM the kde desktop started up with all the compix effects ( cube etc) but no window manager

compiz --replace ccp & makes thte screen blank then come back still with no wm showing

compiz (core) - Warn: No GLXFBConfig for depth 32
compiz (core) - Warn: No GLXFBConfig for depth 32
compiz (core) - Warn: No GLXFBConfig for depth 32

the same happens when i run emerald  --replace  or kde-window-decorator --replace (which wasn't originaly installed, so i installed compiz-decorator-kde

I have now run out of ideas on how to get emerald working and would value any help

if it is any help my xorg.conf is ;

Re: compiz-fusion / emerald problem on kde / nvidia

I think what I was missing was the DefaultDepth should have been 24

it is all working now but i did have to take out all of the modelines and refresh rates, otherwise the desktop would be too large for the screen, xorg manages to figure it all out for itself.
