<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><div id="yiv339619555">Have both xorg config files in /etc/X11/ with the xorg.config(set up with nvidia-xconfig or -settings) and contains the "nvidia-glx-new-envy" driver that I want to use(newest available) but I can't determine by googling if it will even work with my graphic card. Have had many xorg.conf trial files set up with xfix, nvidia-settings, nvidia-xconfig, whatever, but when I try to enable Compiz via kde4.1, kmenu->System->Desktop Effects, it tells me to reboot so the driver is in effect to enable the desktop effects. When I do that, whatever xorg.conf I'm using, it goes into low resolution mode again. Then have to fix xorg.conf again, PITA, with the process being reproducable ad infinitum. Virtually all the time I have to add a screen subsection specifying my monitors(LG L226WTQ Flatron Wide lcd) native resolution to get
out of low res mode. I'm fairly sure I must be doing something wrong but don't know what and the more I google the more uncertain I am of what to do. Specifically:<br>1. Am I using the right driver for my graphics card(nvidia or nvidia-glx-new-envy)?<br>2. When I bought the card, the tech man indicated it is a low end card but capable of running most games and graphics. Is it sufficient to run Compiz?<br>3. What's the story on having two xorg configuration files?<br>Which one prevails or is somehow both used by X? Why can I remove the xorg.conf file, leaving only xorg.config, and X still works? This indicates to me that the nvidia-glx-new-envy driver is in effect. Is that true? Note: "nvidia" is driver in xorg.conf and "nvidia-glx-new-envy" is driver in xorg.config.<br>4. How can I activate "Desktop Effects" or "Compiz"(I assume they are the same thing) without going into low graphics mode after rebooting? Do I need both xorg.conf and
xorg.config? Specifically, which nvidia driver do I need for my card(most advanced)?<br>Any guidance is most appreciated,<br><br>Leonard Chatagnier<br>lenc5570@sbcglobal.net</div></td></tr></table>
