compiz - Aug 2007 - Compiz not working properly using nvidia twinview

Hi,

 

I am running ubuntu 7.10 gutsy, and I have compiz working on one monitor
( a bit slow though ). When I add twinview to the mix compiz still comes
up, and sort of works but:

 

1.       I loose the background and it is replace by all white

2.       The second monitor draws about 30% of the new white background,
then it ends with a bit of a shadow, and then it continues with black

3.       I can drag windows on the second screen and they get redrawn
as I move them as long as I am on the white part, as soon as I go the
black I can see the window, but it leaves a trail of windows, so it is
not redrawing the black part. 

 

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

 

Xeon 2.4Ghz , 2GB memory, nvidia quadro nvs 280

 

Thanks

It looks like that the combined resolution of your both monitors is bigger 
than your maximum opengl texture size. Currently we have no working solution 
to fix this.

What is the maximum combined resolution that compiz supports? Or does it depend
on the video card?

 

Thanks

It depends on you graphic card. glxinfo -l will show you your card limits.
GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE = ???? is the important value here.

I am suffering the same problem, with my ATI X800 pro, at any
resolution greater than 2x(1024x768).

Hopefully without spending too much, I would like to get a new video
card that can support greater than 2048x2048 textures.

Can anyone offer any advice on which cards have got a high enough max
texture size for 2x(1280x1024)?

Cheers
Chris.
