compiz - Feb 2008 - compiz 0.7 error "No GLXFBConfig for default depth"

Since upgrading to compiz 0.7, it does not start anymore on my x86_64 
system, with the error message
compiz (core) - Fatal: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this isn't going 
to work.
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

I am using an nvidia graphics card with nvidia 169.09 driver. xorg.conf 
and Xorg.0.log can be found in this report:

http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=38064

What could be wrong?

Compiz 0.6.2 was working perfectly fine on this setup.

Can the explanations from an other bug report help you?

I already tried googling around, but it did not help much. A thing which 
is often cited, also in that bug report, is using
--no-libgl-fallback, but compiz 0.7 does not seem to recognise that 
parameter.

In the Xorg logs I also could not find a sign that something is wrong with 
my nvidia installation: the nvidia kernel module is loaded, the nvidia 
xorg and glx modules are loaded, dri seems to be working... All was 
working well before I upgraded to compiz 0.7.

It worked for me as it was described by "eagleMcMoe".

It seems that the software components "compiz-manager" and
"Fusion Icon" get
different support in my Linux distribution.

I'm not sure what the Nvidia driver does in that case, but

Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals"

looks fishy to me. I'd recommend

Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

in the device section of your xorg.conf.

You're sure you _only_ updated Compiz and did not update e.g. your
graphics driver? The code parts of Compiz containing this error message
weren't changed between 0.6 and 0.7.
