Comment 291 for bug 353126

Since installing version 256 I haven't been able to turn on compiz on my system, let alone have it work remotely. System / Appearance / Visual Effects / Extra causes the screen to blink a bit and then "Desktop effects could not be enabled".

From Xorg.0.log it is loading the new driver and seems happy. It initializes the GLX extension. However, System / NVidia X Server Settings on the OpenGL/GLX Information tab says "Failed to query the GLX server vendor". Weird?

System / Administration / Hardware Drivers shows nvidia_current but says "This driver is activated but not currently in use". However, this appears to be a known bug with jockey. I did try Deactivate, Activate, reboot - no change.

dmesg appears happy and references the new version.

"modprobe nvidia" does not find the module. Seems odd.
