Thanks to Aaron from NVidia for his assistance and post (#245) on this. I implemented his --use-root-window workaround by modifying the /usr/bin/compiz script (after first backing it up, of course). I simply changed the line:
COMPIZ_OPTIONS="--ignore-desktop-hints --replace" to COMPIZ_OPTIONS="--use-root-window --ignore-desktop-hints --replace" and then logged off and back on. Unfortunately, it didn't fix the problem: I still get no screen updates when connecting remotely to vino-server. Running "ps aux | grep compiz" confirmed that compiz.real was running with the --use-root-window option. I am using the stock Ubuntu restricted driver for older hardware (i.e., Nvidia driver version 96.43.13). I did notice that vino-server runs with the '--sm-disable' option (i.e. "Disable connection to session manager" per 'vino-server --help-all'). Could this possibly have anything to do with this issue (much more generally, of course)? -- Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBox/ATI fglrx driver using X.org https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353126 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
