No compositing after nVidia upgrade

whashnez · 2009-09-01 08:47:07

After the nVidia upgrade to driver 185.18.36 I have no compositing at all. I cannot turn it on from system settings...Can you help me?

jelly · 2009-09-01 08:50:02

any errors in /var/log/Xorg/Xorg.0.log or output in stdout ?

Have you rebooted since the update? You may need to manually rmmod the nvidia module from the console if you haven't.

I installed acpid, and put acpi to daemons, and I veryfied that hal is working, but the same problem persists...

The same thing happened to me. I installed acpid and made sure hal was early in my Daemons list(/etc/rc.conf) (I didn't add acpi(d) to daemons). Following the Xorg.0.log I went to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and I commented (#) out freetype,xtrap and EnablePageFlip "true" and made sure the ServerFlags" section had "AutoAddDevices" "false" because my xorg logs showed problem with the keyboard too.I eneded specifying mouse and keyboard in xorg.conf.Your logs suggest you comment out "type1" line and others. You know synaptics better to manage those errors if any. Just go thru those logs and #/edit what is needed.
After those steps and a reboot my desktop effects were back to normal and the /var/log/ Xorg.0.log no longer showed errors..

whashnez · 2009-09-02 23:18:38

I commented out freetype and type 1 in my xorg.conf but the Xorg.0.log prints out failed to load module type1 and freetype like before...no change I cannot enable the effects...There are two log files in /var/log one named Xorg.0.log and another named Xorg.1.old...Which one is the current one?I'm confused...
