Right, nvidia has not yet fixed their bug. The point of this bug was to make sure you have enough RAM to open 6 or so windows at a time. -- memory check for nvidia users https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139325 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is sub

This is still not fixed in Hardy. I create a new account and it defaults to Compiz turned on, despite the fact that it has the black windows problem. NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 nvidia-glx-new 169.12+2.6.24.13-19.44 11 Firefox screens and it starts making black windows. -- memory check for nvidi

Right this second all is going pretty good for me. I hope this change does not displace this newfound solution. zeddock On 9/24/07, Michael Vogt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This is done with the latest compiz in gutsy > > ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) > Assignee: (unassigned) => Michael

On the Ubuntu Forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=554711) they say that the new nVidia driver (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=98635) fixes this issue... It fixes some other bugs as well, would an exception be possible? -- memory check for nvidia users https://bugs.

If the problem gets worse because of something that has happened, it could be possible that the cause, and thus the suggestion that nothing caan be done without movement from nvidia, is not yet understood and that there is potentially a solution to be created. zeddock On 9/15/07, Christian Schuer

My NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M graphics card has 256MB of video RAM, but it's still too few because my graphic card is affected by the "black windows bug" too, which is said to be caused by too few video RAM. It is as reported in bug #125566, the problem got worse with recent updates in gutsy. -- mem

Thank you for explaining a little more. Since I have had a nice, usable cube on Feisty... can I expect to get that from Gusty? Is anyone trying to overcome the black windows problem in that scenario? I do not think that I have any option for hacking some more video ram into this laptop, but if y

Compositing your desktop is a new class of work for the video cards. It is nothing like games. Generally games need raw performance but can run without much texture memory. A compositing window manager doesn't need much raw performance but needs a lot of texture memory. -- memory check for nvidia

No. I have not tried Vista on this laptop. I was more referring to the 3d acceleration overall in Windows. I should have stipulated XP Pro, I guess. I never got a black window in games, etc. Sorry I can't respond at all about Aero. In fact, I took vista off of a new Dell Tower about 2 weeks ago.

zeddock: I did not know that an NVIDIA Geforce 4 enabled the Vista Aero desktop. I thought it was only activated on cards with dedicated pixel shaders (but I could be wrong). I shall have to check this but can I just check that you DO get the Aero desktop on Vista? -- memory check for nvidia u

What a shame. I know this is mainly a nVidia issue, but I had feisty up and working nicely with a cube. I did get the black screens from time to time. How does windows do all their stuff on my machine when I can't under Ubuntu? Thanx for all of the hard work. zeddock On 9/13/07, Travis Watkins

If you don't pass the check you don't get compiz. 128MB should be enough for a 'regular' user to not have to worry about things, 256MB is recommended. At least until nvidia implements their texture memory manager. -- memory check for nvidia users https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139325 You receive

What will happen if there is not enough? I ask because as a GeForce4 4200 Go Ti 8AGP user on a laptop I am very interested in the cube desktop effect. I can only have it with 3d enabled, but after 5-6 windows the Black starts. Thanx for your help on this issue, BTW. It has been a lingering issue
