 |
|
I have a custom PC. That just means I built it. It is freshly installed with Xandros Desktop OS 4.1 Professional. I have the latest nVidia driver from their site, as of December 21 (x86-1.0-9746). My 3D desktop apply settings button is grey (unavailable).
This is my system makeup;
nVidia 6600 (nv43) rev a2 w/256 onboard DDR/ PCI express on 16x slot
MSI K8N NEO4f w/AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core 3800+
2 GB/ DDR400/PC3200 Memory
I have edited my xorg.conf file to enable the composite extension.
This is my xorg.conf:

Maybe there is something that I missed but this was happening from the first boot. I have tried both the Xandros nVidia driver and the one from the nVidia site. So, what the heck? I need sum hep.

Xandros NVIDIA driver does not support 3D video effects. Just changing driver is not enough. Follow Redrums instructions in the link below.

| how do i get the 3d effects to work, I have xandros desktop 4.0 premium with sp1 install when I go to control panel and into the display section and enable the 3d effects it ask to reboot so I do that and my pc won't reboot , the only thing that comes up is a black screen, then I reboot again but go under safe mode to disable 3d effects so my pc will boot up and work. I have the ati x850 pro video card, and i built my pc. I woukd like to try to get the 3d effects to work if possible just because it looks neats and to learn linux since i'm a extreme newbie. |

The 3d desktop option is a technology preview and only works on certain ATI and Intel cards.. It appears that your card is not one of them.. Aside from swapping out the card, I doubt you'll be able to enable 3d effects... There is an Nvidia hack that works well too, but its unofficial.
