[Bug 626974] Re: ABI change in xorg 1.9 breaks legacy nvidia-96 drivers in Maverick

 

They work fine over here. I have a Geforce 2 MX 32MB and I can enable
effects through compiz and the extra effects from the appearance menu.

I followed the instructions by luk1don (post 45) on this page. It asked me something about some preinstall script but I just said continue.

Then to enable effects I just followed the instructions from the Italian website posted earlier here. First run sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and save a backup somewhere. Then just add the two lines below to xorg.conf anywhere under the Screen section.
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"
