desktop-effects not working after todays FC6 update

[LordHector]

Hi,

I had desktop-effects working perfectly. No stability issues or anything. After todays FC6 updates (which had glib and gtk stuff) desktop-effects no longer worked. The windows no longer had the title bars. When I tried to turn the desktop effects on from the command line, I got the following errors:

[mjon@galactica ~]$ desktop-effects
gnome-window-decorator: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a decoration manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current decoration manager.
compiz: No GLXFBConfig for depth 32
compiz: No GLXFBConfig for depth 32
compiz: No GLXFBConfig for depth 32

I don't know if the updates modified my xorg.conf, but that was really all I had to modify to get it to work. Here is a copy of my current xorg.conf:

# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder3) Fri Dec 15 10:12:14 PST 2006

I have an nvidia quadro nvs card, and I'm using the driver supplied by nvidia. Any help would be appreciated... I love my jell-o windows :)

have you tried restarting X?

[LordHector]

have you tried restarting X?

Yes. Several times. Also tried reinstalling the nvidia driver too, and then restarted the machine. No luck.

[mnisay]

have you updated the kernel when you did and booted from it?

#ps axuw | grep desktop

oh, are you running beryl in anyway?

No, I didn't update the kernel. It wasn't one of the updates that showed up. I just install the updates whenever the little box says there are updates :D But kernel wasn't updated today -- I'm still at 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6.

as for running:

ps axuw |grep desktop

I did so, but nothing was found -- I currently have desktop effects off.

Gah...

I had to add a line to xorg.conf. I guess this wasn't included in the backup copy I made:

In Section "Device"

*add*

Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

Now everything works!

I wonder why the update crushed my xorg.conf file though? :confused:
