Fedora :: 13 Kde4.4 Panel Mouseover/nvidia Composite ?
Jul 2, 2010
I just installed Fedora 13 and though I'd give kde4.4 a try and see how it is. So far I'm liking it however I've got a couple problems with kde.
First off, I cant enable desktop effects (I don't seem to be only one with the problem, though I havn't found a fix yet).
Secondly, when I mouse-over an item on the panel, a piece of a window on the opposite side of the screen from the panel 'vanishes'. This isn't very easy to explain so I've attached a screenshot. My mouse is over the clock on the top right. I had this bug on an earlier version of kde4 some time ago, hoped it was fixed .
The nvidia drivers are installed (from rpmfusion), working (I can play games and glxinfo reports direct rendering etc) and don't throw any errors - the composite extension is loaded.

Below are some system specs and details:
Vid: GeForce GTX 260M
Kernel: 2.6.33.5-124.fc13.x86_64
Kernel module:
lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia 10823576 30
i2c_core 24507 2 videodev,nvidia
I've also attached the Xorg log and the xorg.conf file.

Can anyone using kde4.7 from R47 repo please try creating a new user and see if you get this with the panel. SUSE Paste My current user is fine, which came through the upgrade from 4.6

I've just started to test kde4 that comes with slackware64-current. I've always used kde3 just because I can let the autohided panel to appear when the mouse hits the opposite side of the desktop (I think it is a sane behaviour to avoid to accidentaly unhide it while I operate on toolbars and buttons near the location of the panel), so I looked for the same feature inside the new uselessly eye catching d.e. and I couldn't figure out how to get this basic, but powerful, feature.

I have a set of buttons on my webpage, which I'd like to sort of, brighten, if the mouse moves over them. How would I do this in Javascript?

I have a set of images on my webpage,and when the mouse goes over them, I'd like a thin box around each image to tell the viewer that it's been selected (when clicked, it'll open a new window). How do I do this?

So, in Gnome, whenever you put the cursor over certain items on a panel, or menu, or whatever, a little box pops up next to the cursor with text saying the same thing as what you're about to click on. This feature is useless and highly annoying, but I can find no way of disabling it. How can I make it go away? And how can I do the same in applications like Firefox, if these are separate?

I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed. Everything works fine until I enable the Nvidia drivers. When I enable the drivers and reboot the top and bottom panel stop displaying. If I issue command 'pkill gnome-panel' it all comes up and works correctly.
lspci output shows:
VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV25 [GeForce4 Ti 4400] (rev a2)
I am at a loss here as I am somewhat new to Ubuntu. Where to start looking for the problem? I've thought about setting up a startup script to run 'pkill gnome-panel' after I login, but that doesn't really fix the core of the problem.

After a fresh install of Fedora 12 I'm delivered to the image on the attachment. Well aside from not being able to see icons on the left, or go to the any terminal and not seeing anything and be forced to blind type and hope for the best there are some other issues. Enabling panel transparency shows video artefacts on the panel.nouveau doesn't enable 3D(I use a NVidia GeForce 9600 GT 512MB and my monitor is a ACER LCD X223W)) kind and point me to resources about the nouveau driver and how to configure it so it starts to work?

i have a viewsonic VA712b monitor that used to get 1280x1024 resolution on my dell optiplex gx260 that had the intel video card.i upgraded my motherboard cpu and memory..the nvidia 6100 that is onboard seems like it would be an improvement to my old onboard intel but the best resolution i can get is 1024x768
i installed the nvidia 185 drivers and it's not recognizing my monitor as a flat panel lcd but as a crt, also it won't set the correct refreshrate - either 60 or 75.. it's set at 50... since xorg 7.4 no longer uses a xorg.conf file.. i'm not sure how to go about manually adjusting the settings to ones that will actually work. i mean other than buying a separate graphics car (URL)

In a previous version of UBUNTU I was able to enter a NVIDIA control panel to adjust my RGB settings. Now I'd like to change it slightly but there doesn't seem to be a NVIDIA control panel. There used to be two of them. After installing the video driver, If I tried to go into UBUNTU video settings I would get a console message stating I now need to use NVIDIA control panel and would automatically open it for me.

Installed Ubuntu 10.10, 64bit, been working flawlessly for a week.
I have 2 nVidia Corporation G96 [GeForce 9400 GT] Graphics Cards and 2 LG Monitors. I installed the nVidia drivers from the website and everything is working very well. Using Xinerama to extend my desktop.
The problem comes in when I add an additional user to the system. It doesn't matter if it's 1 or 2 users, if they are added into the administrator group or as a desktop user, I can delete re-add them, create a completely different user but the problem persists.
As soon as I login as the new user and go to System | Preferences | Appearance | Visual Effects and try and enable either 'Normal' or Extra' I get the following error;
"The Composite Extension is not Available"
This is strange to me because composite, everything, is working fine for the default user, I have no problems whatsoever, but any additional user I setup it seems the graphics is borked, like it's not picking up the correct drivers or something.

I did a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 except for the /home partition. I have two monitors. I can't get the setup I had on 9.10 where the second monitor was an extension of the first, and extra visual effects were enabled.
There are two drivers available for my video card, NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173) and NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current) [Recommended]. I've tried both. I backed up my /etc/X11/xorg.conf, blanked the current one, and run
Code:
I set the each monitor to be a separate X screen, enable Xinerama (I think that's what I need for the extended display), and clicked Save to X Configuration File. Sometimes I merge it with the existing file. At this point I restart and the error, "The Composite extension is not available" is displayed when I try to enable extra visual effects.

I am almost tempted to go back to an old slackware to try this. Anyway, I found a circuit (with just a few resistors) that allows vga output to go to composite input. To my amazement it actually works and it is very clear, but has a double screen. I am told, to fix it you need to change the horizontal sync and or refresh rate for the card. (17 instead of 35). How would I do this in xorg.conf?

I have four smaller jpg files, that I would like to merge into one file. Each image is similar in size, and they are color images. The only way I could get close is by creating multi-layered composites, which got really big. The only other way I could think of doing it is with OO, creating a presentation slide, and then rendering that slide.

I have a render script that uses several Blender 3D instances on several machines to co-render one still image. The image is split into squares of 64 x 64 pixels. In the end, I have like 200 image files, each one with a puzzle piece of the whole.
Now I would like to assembe these pieces into whole with PIL and Python, but so far cannot figure out how. I am new to PIL, but in imagemagick, a convert image1.png image2.png image3.png +append finalimage.png works a charme. But convert chokes on so many image files, so I need something automatic and scalable. I think that pictures are RGBA, so black should be the alpha channel and transparent.
I think I have to mention that the pieces are in the right position and that every piece has the original dimensions of the full picture, so it is not a problem figuring out where each piece should be. Just putting all the pictures on top of eachother and ignoring anything that is black would do the trick nicely.
How can I reach this with PIL? Which functions do I need for that? PIL does a lot of stuff, so finding my simple function is daunting.

During my research on enabling composite effects and xinerama, I stumbled upon a few threads and discussions which showed xserver 1.10+ has resolved the conflicts between the 2 modules. I'm wondering if anyone knows of someone/somewhere to get a SUSE compatible build of xserver 1.10+ ? If not, could someone point me toward an easy-to-follow tutorial on how to build packages for SUSE?

I want to improve the ugly fonts in netbeans 6.7.1 on Fedora 12. I tried adding this to the start options:
--laf com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel
via the netbeans.conf
from some posted hints on the internet but it doesn't seem to help. I'm using the latest KDE4 (4.3.3-3) on Fedora 12 and openjdk
Code:
$> java -version
java version "1.6.0_0"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.6) (fedora-33.b16.fc12-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode) .

I can't find kmod so I'll go for the Nvidia installer from [URL]. I tried to run it Quote: su -c 'sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-XYZ.AB.pkg1.run' but it wants me to kill xserver. How can I do that? " gdm stop" will kill Xserver too? How will I start it again?

I installed Fedora 12 nowdays and tried to install the driver as Leigh posted in here: [URL]...Well i had some depadency trouble by installing kmod-nvidia and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686. I enabled rpmfusion repo of course. I don't have anything isntalled just the base programs what fedora installs. I updated the kernel and installed kernel-devel aswell.
This is what i got:
Code:

I am experiencing the following issue. After enabling SLI and PhysX in windows vista, my dual boot fedora 10 does not see the NVIDIA driver.
Doing: cat /proc/drivers/nvidia/0 I get? in the VGA bios for both cards.
I disabled both SLI and PhysX in vista, but the problem persists. I powerdown and unplugged the rig for several hours without results.
Here are my specs:
CPU: Intel Q9300
Board: MSI P7N Diamond
CARD0: EVGA Gforce 8800 GTS
CARD1: EVGA Gforce 8800 GTS
RAM : 4 Gbytes OCZ gold PC6400 (4 x 1 Gbytes)
PSU : Thermaltake SLI ready 850 W
It is important to mention that initially Fedora did see the cards and I was able to set up a dual monitor system. It right was after I enable SLI and PhysX and re-booting into Linux that the problem showed up.
I have seen this issue before in another machine with an ASUS board, but not until today I associated with the SLI setup. My guess is that there has to be something that the driver is enabling in the cards that messes up the interface between the nvidia.ko module and the kernel, but I don't know what may fix it. I need this system for some numerical calculations.
