[gentoo-user] NVidia, KDE4, and Desktop Effects

[James Ausmus]

Hello All-

I'm having a devil of a time getting this combination to work. Several
different computer systems, with KDE's from 4.2.0-4.2.2, with several
different NVidia cards. Using the latest NVidia drivers (180.51),
everything appears to be set up correctly in my xorg.conf, no errors
or warnings from the nvidia drivers in the Xorg.0.log, glxgears and
glxinfo work properly and output the expected information, but when I
try to enable Desktop Effects, all I get is the dreaded "Failed to
activate desktop effects using the given configuration options..."
dialog. I've tried all the different combos of settings under the
Advanced tab, but no love.

Attached are my xorg.conf, my Xorg.0.log, and my glxinfo output.

Anyone have any clues????


Thanks!
