Hi,
i have a geforce 6800gt with fc6 and compiz working with the bta driver
from livna.
Also googleearth runs smooth here.
Here is a short extract from my xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "nVidia Corporation NV40 [GeForce 6800 GT]"
Option "NvAGP" "1"
Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
EndSection
You have to check the modules:
Section "Module"
Load "fbdevhw"
Load "record"
Load "freetype"
Load "type1"
Load "glx"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
EndSection
And i have:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
Since today, compiz and googleearth works with the non-beta driver from
nvidia, which is released today.
For testing, if the nvidia driver is active, you have to seee the
nvidia screen, before the X-Server starts. Also a good measurement is
glxgears and glxinfo.
Check with lsmod, if the module nvidia is inserted:
[root at bauhaus0 ~]# lsmod | grep nvi
nvidia 4723188 36
i2c_core 25537 3 i2c_ec,nvidia,i2c_nforce2
I wish you luck :)
