I found a solution in the net: http://tombuntu.com/ (thanks 1000x to tom) I am running ubuntu hardy fresh install on a new sony vaio with nvidia 8400gt m: nvidia-glx-new from repo: i had no shadows. after doing this: $ sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/nvidia/libwfb.so.xserver-xorg-core /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so Everything is fine: emerald works and shadows are back. good luck!! :) -- [nvidia] compiz doesn't show shadows, works with manual driver install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191508 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
