Nvidia is installed and works, but doesn't do 3D

Hello
I have a problem with my Nvidia card. I have the latest driver installed and configured in Xorg, glxgears works (which means it cand do basic 3D, but not any effects or advanced graphics...) and the Nvidia logo shows up at X startup.
But when I try to play a game (for example Enemy Territory gives me error: Sys_Error: GLimp_Init() - could not load OpenGL subsystem) or try to run compiz-fusion, nothing works. Compiz doesn't give me anything - no shadows, no effects, no window decoration. Only 2D games (frozen bubble, wesnoth, gnome games) work.
I also tried to install Xgl, but the wiki says that newer Nvidia cards come with preinstalled Xgl system. (I have a Nvidia m8400gs).
Just for mentioning, everything mentioned (games, compiz) worked under Ubuntu, when I tried 7.10.
So anyone having an idea about my problem, please take the time to show me the solution.

it works fine here, here's my xorg.conf ... i doubt it'll make a difference,
but it contains a few tweaks for performance, so i guess it's worth a shot

  • Since installing Firefox 4 Beta 5, the Add-Ons manager is empty. My add-ons still appear to be installed and working, but I can't install more, or uninstall, or configure them.

    My add-ons still appear to be installed and working, but I can't install more, or uninstall, or configure them.

    Try forcing Firefox to rebuild the list of installed add-ons.
    # Open the profile folder, for details of how to access it see the [[profiles]] article.
    # Close Firefox, then delete extensions.sqlite (you can also delete extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.rdf if they exist)
    When you restart Firefox the list of installed add-ons should be rebuilt.
    If that did not work, you may have an add-on that is causing the problem, try the options in the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.
    If you type '''about:addons''' into the location bar does that bring up the list of add-ons? I have seen a blank add-ons list if Mr Tech Toolkit add-on is installed, accessing the add-ons manager by typing about:addons in the location bar is a workaround with that add-on installed. The author of that add-on is working on an update.

  • Photoshop cc14 and lightroom installed and working, but when starting creative cloud program it says: No program installed, mand only shows old programs like PS6 to install

    Hello there!
    When I start the creative cloud, I get the information that no programs are installed and I can download PS6. But I have installed the latest versions of photoshop and lightroom working properly.
    My System is a windows 7 64Bit PC.
    I had to deinstall the creative cloud program because it didn´t react some days ago. Then I installed it again and now I have this wron behaviour.
    Does anybody know how to adapt the creative cloud program correctly?
    Thanks in advance
    Andreas

    Make sure that you had not changed the language on Creative Cloud desktop
    Also try to perform below steps
    On Creative Cloud desktop top Right side click on  Gear icon and Quit Creative Cloud App
    Then Right click on Creative Cloud desktop shortcut and choose properties.
    Then Click on compatibility tab
    Under compatibility mode ""Make sure "Run this program in  compatibility  mode for " box is unchecked.
    If it is checked, uncheck it and click on Apply, Ok. Then launch Creative Cloud App and try.

  • [SOLVED] sabnzbd installed and working but it doesnt remember settings

    Hi,
    I installed and used sabnzbd successfully for the first time today and I realized that it doesn't retain any of the info that I added when I start it up again. I don't quite understand where the proper use of it is documented or anything in the AUR for that matter. How would one know if they set something up properly?
    Is there a permission problem and maybe its not able to write it's "config" file somwhere?
    thanks in advance,
    Kerdum

    I had also problems with sabnzbd, it couldn't create the download folders and so on. I soved the problems by changing the permissions of /opt/sabnzbd/ to 777 and sabnzbd runs under my user (conifg: /etc/conf.d/sabnzbd). Then evrything works for me.

  • "-error" "wStub" "721426". Printer is installed and working, but continuous install loop with error.

    I get the above error, quotes and all, on my daughters computer recently. She is running Windows 7. The only change is that my husband recently did some network maintenence on her computer so that she could back up some of her media to the storage drive.
    She was previously able to print from this printer (it's set up as a network printer, wireless for users) and had no issues. Now, she has this weird install loop. I was able to reinstall the printer despite the loop so that she could print again (it overwrote it with wrong data) but it still keeps trying to install and when the administrator permissions come up asking if we want to allow it, and we say no, then it cycles off and starts right back up again.
    I have already followed the directions online for the re-regestering, and i have run a new virus scan.
    What next?

  • My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calles does not work.  It looks like it is working but doesn't.  I have tried in my Hyundai and a Dodge rent car and get the same results.  I updated the last 8.0.2.

    My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calls does not work.  It looks like it is working but doesn't.  I have tried in my Hyundai Sonata and a Dodge Dart rent car and get the same results.  I updated the last 8.0.2.  It worked the first day i had the phone, and then i updated to Ios 8.0.2 and it quit working.
    Now when i get in the car, it acts like it is connected and makes the same call it was on after syncing to bluetooth, but it really isn't on a call.  This is happening on both cars.
    Does anyone know if this is the phone and i need to take it to Apple or if there is an issue that Apple is working on getting a fix for?
    My son in law has the exact same phone as me, we both got the on 10/6, he had a Dodge Dart and his is working via bluetooth.
    Someone HELP please, as i consider this a safety issue by not having my calls go to bluetooth.

    We had the same problem, but figure out the solution.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
