Re: Compiz and Nvidia

Do you have xorg.conf? If you do, post the contentshere. Also tell us the output of :

lspci | grep VGA

Re: Compiz and Nvidia

I don't know if it will solve your problem but without xorg.conf my nvidia card never worked. So it wouldn't hurt to generate one and if it still doesn't work, remove it. Also add at the bottom:

Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite"  "Enable"
EndSection

Re: Compiz and Nvidia

[jake@Arch ~]$ sudo Xorg -configure
Password:

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
        If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
        and start again.


Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
         at http://wiki.x.org

Re: Compiz and Nvidia

Logout of X, or boot in init 3 and then try :

sudo nvidia-xconfig

Re: Compiz and Nvidia

Btw, I'm assuming you did

pacman -S nvidia

already?

Reboot, go to boot menu, edit the the grub line and make it "ro 3"
