[Bug 729979] Re: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white

 

Hi everyone.

Just another report of which configurations are working and which don't.
But with these results, it seems for me to be an nvidia-driver issue, as
the last two setups mainly differ in the OpenGL-driver (except in the
cpu-architecture).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Configuration #1:

Focus-Animation-Effect "Dodge" IS WORKING GREAT for me with the
following setup:

OS-Version:             Ubuntu 12.10
Kernel-Version:         Linux 3.5.0-22-generic (i686)
(Virtual)Machine:       VirtualBox 4.2.6 r82870
Desktop-Environment:    Mate 1.4.2
Display-Server:         X.Org Version 1.13.0
OpenGL-Driver:          VMware Inc. Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe 2.1 Mesa 9.0 with direct rendering
Compiz-Version:         0.9.8.6

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Configuration #2:

Focus-Animation-Effect "Dodge" IS ALSO WORKING GREAT for me with the
following setup:

OS-Version:             Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
Kernel-Version:         3.2.0-36-generic (i686)
(Virtual)Machine:       VirtualBox 4.2.6 r82870
Desktop-Environment:    Mate 1.4.2
Display-Server:         X.Org Version 1.11.3
OpenGL-Driver:          Humper 2.1 Chromium 1.9 with direct rendering
Compiz-Version:         0.9.7.12

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Configuration #3:

Focus-Animation-Effect "Dodge" DOESN'T WORK for me (producing white
windows) with the following setup:

OS-Version:             Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
Kernel-Version:         3.2.0-36-generic (x86_64)
Machine:                ASUS-Rampage III with Intel Core i7-930 with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260
Desktop-Environment:    Mate 1.4.2
Display-Server:         X.Org Version 1.11.3
OpenGL-Driver:          NVIDIA 304.64 with direct rendering
Compiz-Version:         0.9.7.12

All other Compositing-Effects I've activated, and there are a lot of
them ;-), are working great with both configurations, except the "Focus
Animations".

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've noticed, that the OpenGL-Driver in configuration #2 is running much
fluently than that one of configuration #1 but both are working at
least, in opposite of the nvidia-driver in configuration #3.

I wasn't looking for further, but are there any recent setups with the
nvidia-driver which are working with the focus-animation-effects out
there?

Any further ideas? This bug is really nagging me, although dodging
windows are a gadget, but it's a nice one ;-)
