[Solved] Window border missing in compiz

[Northernfrog]

Hello , I've installed compiz and works great except missing window border . My laptop has an nvidia GeForce4 420 go 32M . Yes compiz has worked before in Pardus 2007 but had same problem that had been resolved and now cannot remember how . I've tried Emerald and still no work .  .......................................Thanks ...  .........Northernfrog....

Run: Konsole (Programs>System>Konsole]
Type: sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals
Press: [Control-Alt-Backspace]

Try disabling then re-enabling Window Decoration from ccsm first, to avoid unessessary trouble.

I followed directions on wiki and now compiz won't run at all . I put ( nvidia-xconfig --composite --allow-glx-with-composite --add-argb-glx-visuals ) . How do i remove that info and try ( sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals ) as suggested by Mhmrcs .  I was hoping this will fix all with compiz including missing window border .
         THANKS.      Northernfrog

Did you select the "Emerald" window decorator?

I think all changes are written to /etc/X11/xorg.conf

So you can try editing that file as root. If you don't know how to do this:

- press Alt-F2
- enter "kdesu konqueror" (without quotations)
- give root password
- navigate konqueror to /etc/X11
- click the file xorg.conf to edit it, look for what you had nvidia-xconfig insert and delete that line
- save the file
- CAVEAT: ALWAYS MAKE A COPY of your old working xorg.conf before tempering with it. If X refuses to start, you can fall back to your old copy (in that case you can use a live-cd to delete xorg.conf and rename your copy to xorg.conf to get your original config back. You don't need a live cd if you can do that in a terminal)

Solved . I put (#) in front of line ( Option         "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True" ) in x.org and rebooted . Now everything working great . Someone should fix or add more info in Pardus Wiki so it won't happen to others . And to all who helped ---- THANK YOU'S-----  .           Northernfrog
