Talk:Compiz Troubleshooting

Using "Texture from Pixmap" rendering

Preparing Xorg for Compiz Compiz, at this moment, has only one rendering path. The "Texture from Pixmap" path runs faster but doesn't work on all hardware yet. The GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension is needed for this rendering path. This extension is currently provided by Xorg if you either use the 9xxx nvidia drivers or the AIGLX extension. It is also provided by Xgl. Refer to the Composite wiki for more information.
