i double checked my xorg.conf, and you cannot have compiz with 'vesa' |
82 |
driver. i made a mistake. i think the issue you have relates to the |
83 |
vboxvideo driver from the portage tree. unemerge them, and remove the |
84 |
vbox* flag from your make.conf, then use the vbox additions from the |
85 |
ISO file the vbox system provided. |
