I have a clean 8.10 install with nvidia Proprietary drivers version 96 installed using System>Admin>HardwareDrivers. My card is an nvidia GeForce4 MX440.

I have the same problem as TitoN and others in Opera 9.27 (added by Synaptic.) Specifically, it won't draw text for the menus of the Title Bar ( ie the panel with File, Edit, View, Bookmark etc) unless I select "none" in System>Preferences>Appearance>VisualEffects.

I have done some of the suggestions above ie

I enabled sub-pixel smoothing in Fonts.

I added

Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "Enabled"
EndSection

to my xorg.conf file.

But no luck.

I did note that the driver installation has modified my original xorg.conf file to add

Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"

to the "Screen" section and not to the "Device" section as many above have done.

Is this significant?

Any help really appreciated.
Thanks
