1 Hi! Good news for me and all nvidia + compiz fan!!
2 I have just upgraded my gentoo box to xorg 7.4 + nvidia 177.80 and
3 compiz-fusion 0.7.8 and everyting is working like a charm!
4 Using kde3.5.9 or gnome everyting is fast and stable.
5 The command
6 nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2 -a GlyphCache=1
7 seem to help the resizing effect.
8 I have also tried kde4.1 with compiz and apart a little slowness moving around
9 some plasmoid (like the Desktop plasmoid) I have seen many improvements.
10
11 So for me the subject of this thread is closed.

13 To reply to Roy, I have no problem compiling mplayer-1.0_rc2_p27725, for
14 util-linux or encfs no ~x86 sorry.
