NVIDIA GeForce 3 Ti200 on Fedora Core 6

[krypton]

Help me? Please?

[Michael]

Livna drivers can be debated... It largely depends if you want to build the drivers yourself, etc...

Personally I use the manufacturer-supplied packages. For NVIDIA I use the installer and with the ATI drivers I use the buildpkg ability.

Are you using the NVIDIA.com drivers or Livna?

Do you have Composite enabled in your xorg.conf? (WIth NVIDIA you can have it enabled, and should).

When you start Beryl what is the output?

[krypton]

I use NVIDIAS closed drivers, composite is enabled. I have to reboot to give you the output. xorgconfig was a mess. but, should this be like it is:
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection

[krypton]

here it is... Not very nice for me, I think.

Xlib: extension "XVideo" missing on display ":0.0".
xvinfo: No X-Video Extension on :0.0
compiz: No sync extension

[Michael]

Section "Module"
    Load  "dbe"
    Load  "v4l"
    Load  "extmod"
    Load  "type1"
    Load  "freetype"
    Load  "glx"
EndSection

Try having those modules loaded in your xorg.conf and see if it addresses those errors.

Sorry:

Am I right when I say that I have to tell xorg.conf to load Xv (X-Video)

[Michael]

Loading extmod should provide the X-Video extension for you. I haven't run into this issue before so I am wondering if it may be an issue with something in the GeForce 3 series.

Forgot the very omportant "Restart Computer"
But, now: beryl: No GLXFBConfig for depth 32

I need to tell xorg.conf AND the NVIDIA X configurator that I want to run Linux in 24-bit

[Michael]

Depth 24

That should get you going.
