Hi there.
I 'm an old linux user (more than 6 years) but new to (k)ubuntu. I 'm now using Kubuntu Gusty in my home PC (Intel QuadCore2, 4 GB RAM, 2x500 GB SATA II, NVIDIA 8600 GT with 512 MB). All are working fine, except the emerald.
I have follow several tutorials and guides for compiz fusion with emerald and I can start compiz fusion successfully, but the emerald ALWAYS displays the same error and failed to start:
I tried with several versions of the NVIDIA drivers (trying the envy utility) with the same result. Now I'm using the 100.14.19 drivers (that are provided from the restricted driver manager).
Here is my latest xorg.conf:
Please help me, because as I can see to the forums, there are a lot of users with the same card and Kubuntu Gusty and are working fine.
There is probably a problem on my configuration, but I can not find it ....
