Nividia and Compiz Fusion in Fedora 10 won't allow desktop effects to work
Ok, I found this post http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showth...usion+Fedora10
I am having the same issue he is, if I try to launch Desktop effects it attempts to enable them and fails. It pops a window that tells me they could not be enabled.
If I try using GLDesktop from System -> Preferences -> Look and Feel I lose the title bar to all my windows.
I tried the following commands
Code:
glxinfo | grep direct
Which resulted in:
Code:
Error: glXCreateContext failed
Then tried
Code:
yum install akmod-nvidia
Which resulted in
Code:
Loaded plugins: allowdowngrade, changelog, fedorakmod, kernel-module, presto,
: refresh-packagekit, security, upgrade-helper
Setting up and reading Presto delta metadata

No Presto metadata available for rpmfusion-free-updates

No Presto metadata available for rpmfusion-nonfree
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Package akmod-nvidia-180.29-1.fc10.i686 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
I then tried to re-start the Gnome Window manager
Code:
gnome-wm
Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager.
If I run I get
Code:
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.
A list of repos is
Code:
yum repolist

When I tried to run system-config-display I received a traceback. I attached it as a txt file
Rebooting and will try to post the Nvidia card as the system sees it 
Last edited by tmick; 17th April 2009 at 05:11 AM.
Reason: txt file didn't attach, trying again

Here is my xorg.conf -- I think your problem is here. Pay special attention to the modules and device sections.

hmm, So I ran the commands for his compiz check tool and got
Code:
wget http://blogage.de/files/3557/download -O compiz-check
And received this
Code:
Resolving blogage.de... 78.46.34.206

So I'm hoping the edits to xorg.conf works  Let you know after rebooting. Thanks for the help so far

first things first, in a terminal run the following command
glxgears
If a window pops up with gears running you have your nvidia driver is good and opengl is running ok.
After you made the changes to your xorg.conf file did you restart your x-server or do a reboot?
Did you read through the entire thread linked in your first post?
If you have not already done so, download the compiz-check tool as directed in that link and post the output.

run the glxgears command 1st and confirm whether that runs ok or not. You can even post the output from the terminal. Here is mine.

[stephen@macbeth ~]$ glxgears

20837 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4167.228 FPS

20748 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4149.438 FPS
20828 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4165.438 FPS
20773 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4153.674 FPS

Then use this link to get the compiz-check tool

after rebooting the machine, I did read through the thread I first posted; both pages . When I tried Leigh's cli for getting the compiz check tool I got error 404 as shown in my previous post, so I never got to the part where I need to change permissions and execute the bin.
I am able to use desktop effects but not the GL Desktop which is fine with me I was after the cubes anyway ( I can do with out the wobble).
For future reference I had to add ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" to the "Files" section, and
Code:
Section "Module"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
EndSection
and
Code:
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
to the "Device" section.
The issue seems to be resolved I have some 3D games that wouldn't work and I try them and go from there.
Thanks for the quick replies and the help.

Your frame rates seem a little low. I tried to check your smolt link and got a 505 error. My smolt profile is here. With 256mb video and 2gb of system ram, i might add. If you have less ram this may affect the framerate - or not. Can't really swap too much stuff around on a laptop to find test that out, but Leigh might have a better idea. Anyway, I DO know that the glxgears is affected by which window manger you use, for instance, my rate jumps about 1000 frames if I use Kwin instead of Compiz.
Kwin glxgears output here:

I had some issue upgrading from 0.7.9 to 0.8.3 and opened this thread to resolve the issue. the "warm-cache" plugin at the end was in yum if i remember correctly.
I was also having and issue when x started and loaded my desktop ( KDE4.2 ) as well. The windows decorations failed to load completely to the affect that the title bar was missing from windows and causing general grief. No idea what was causing. There was a thread opened and my fix is posted there
I think that's all the trick's I have. Glad I was able to help.
Bueno Suerte.

Yet again I owe you my thanks .... twice, once for letting me know I forgot to update the URL for my new smolt profile (it's fixed now )
and a second time for reminding me to follow ALL of the directions, like the line in Leigh's post that states "remove the previous versions of compiz" ( Where was your "Big Hammer" hidden again? I think I need it to knock some cobwebs loose) .
Did that re-installed compiz following the directions for KDE and GNOME ( I installed both) and glxgears now gives
Code:
[root@timmieland ~]# glxgears
10244 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2044.525 FPS
11159 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2231.690 FPS
12492 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2498.256 FPS
13139 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2627.799 FPS
14193 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2838.484 FPS
17326 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3465.159 FPS
17574 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3514.736 FPS
^C
Imagine that!  Npt bad for a single core AMD w/ 1GB RAM
Thanks again
