nvidia 7900gs and xgl

Aeolian · 02-18-07, 06:02 AM

Looking at gentoo-wiki.com it seems that 7900gs is almost the only one not supporting XGL. I am an unlucky one that bought Dell 9600 and not only, also with this card! (I am unhappy not being able to overclock the machine....)

I tried to activate 3d in OpenSUSE that now finally support this really good and usefull Cube effect.

Why this? Or is there a solution?
(I installed the latest drivers today from the NVidia site...)

the card should work with xgl fine whats your problem?
you also don't need xgl to run compiz/beryl with the nvidia drivers.
