Cannot enable visual effects after upgrade to Karmic

[George Pollard]

Visual effects were working in Jaunty. Now if I try to enable them the screen flickers for a bit before telling me it doesn't work.

I can run compiz like so:

    $ compiz --replace
    Checking for Xgl: not present.
    xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log
    Detected PCI ID for VGA:
    Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present.
    Checking for non power of two support: present.
    Checking for Composite extension: present.
    Checking screen 1Comparing resolution (1280x800) to maximum 3D texture size (4096): Passed.
    Checking for Software Rasterizer: Not present.
    Checking for nVidia: present.
    Checking for FBConfig: present.
    Checking for Xgl: not present.
    /usr/bin/compiz.real (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image format
    ^C

However, it runs *very* slowly.

Hardware driver support is enabled (nvidia 180).
Compiz-Check reports that everything is OK.
I have attached my xorg.conf.

Thanks for your bug report. The symptoms provided indicate this is a problem with your video drivers and is being reassigned to the xorg package. For more information on problems with visual effects and video drivers see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VisualEffects.

This looks like it might be related... this happens when I *do* use "--replace".

Doesn't seem to do that thing when I set it as the default WM, but still runs very slow.. that's not the issue, then.
