Bug Description
I am not sure is related to nvidia-current, but for a while (10.04 Alfa 1) I had driver 190.53 from Nvidia website, and it's worked good. When new driver appeared in repository I have switched to this driver in repo. Since this moment I can't run any application which uses OpenGL, like computer game or composite effect. Composite effect in KDE working only with XRender.
Architecture: amd64
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04
Oddly enough, I had the same problem with the Sevenmachines PPA NVidia drivers and when I switched tonight to the nvidia-current drivers 180.53-0ubuntu8 OpenGL compositing does finally work with KDE (hooray!) but 3D applications do not (boo!). Try upgrading to 180.53-0ubuntu8 and see if the compositing does work again as it does for me, although it leaves me with an odd choice. Sevenmachines PPA and 3D apps will work but compositing will not or nvidia-current where 3D apps do not work but compositing does. The joys of testing!
I'll be a second voice to say that there is a problem where OpenGL 3D applications with Wine and native programs do not work with nvidia-current.
