Ultimate Edition Forum

Hi all, i am a newbie for Ultimate Edition. I downloaded the 2.1 version and install on may laptop. But some effects of compiz does not work at all (animation, blur.... ). I tried to search information from internet, tried to fix but it did not work out. Please; help me out, thanks alot.

Go to hardware drivers and see if you have the correct driver for your gpu. Or right click on your desktop click
Change Desktop Background and see if you can enable full effects. If you have already done that try re-installing compiz-fusion. Other than that I don't know what to tell you.

Thanks for your replies. My laptop is packard bell ipower Q005. It's spec: cpu core 2 quad 9000, 4gb ddr3 ram, VGA geforce 9800M gts 1gb. I tried íntall the lastest driver of the card, enable full effect , reinstall compiz, or even install compiz manager simple, but it did not work. I install mandriva xtreme 3 but the burn effect did not work, don't know what happen.

Not always the latest video drivers are the best or recommended for your graphic card.Try install it with envyng,it will show you the recommended driver for your specific video card.

Alright, time to pull out all the stops. Boot up.
Go to hardware drivers and install the recommended one.
Hit Ctrl Alt F1
Type sudo nvidia-xconfig
Hit Ctrl Alt F7
Then try enabling destop effects.
You may have to hit Ctrl Alt Backspace and Ctrl Atl F7 again
If that doesn't work
Hit Ctrl Alt F1
Type sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Under the video section of xorg.conf it should have Nvidia under driver. If it does not try a different driver using the same procedure.
If you are runnig sli there is an added step or two.

Thanks guys, especially pc.shot I followed every step you guide and it worked. Thanks a lot the probleme is solved
