I installed the NVIDIA drivers from their website (btw, for the rest of the noobs out there: Ctrl+Alt+F1 [then] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop will stop X server so you can install nvidia drivers).

I am still getting weird shadow effects. If I play with the shadow settings (especially the radius slider) I can randomly (I don't choose the color, it just happens regardless of what I select) get pink, green, egg-white, and no shadows. It seems like the offset and opacity/radius actually work.

I am running Compiz WITHOUT xgl. If I use xgl, the shadows work fine. However.... if I use xgl, I can't use vmware because of another bug with that (console screen is just black with xgl). 8800GTS
