screenshot of desktop with compiz

Description of problem:
With compiz enabled using mesa-dri-drivers-experimental with a nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] (rev a1) the display is jarbled.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mesa-dri-drivers-experimental-7.8.1-6.fc13.i686

How reproducible:
I have been able to reproduce this every time I try to enable desktop effects.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to System -> Preferences -> Desktop Effects.
2.Enable compiz.
3. Enjoy ;)
  
Actual results:
Display is garbled. The basic outline can be seen but that's about it.

Expected results:
Should be able to see everything with some nice eyecandy.

Additional info:
OpenGL vendor string: nouveau
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on NV34
OpenGL version string: 2.0 Mesa 7.8.1
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
direct rendering: Yes

Screen-shot attached.

*** Bug 591918 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 2 Javier Jardón 2010-05-15 15:19:18 UTC
Same here with this card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV36.4 [GeForce FX 5700VE] (rev a1)

Comment 3 Sam H 2010-05-20 22:52:24 UTC
From what I can tell opengl is completely broken on these cards using the mesa-dri-experimental-drivers (I have installed all updates and it is still the same). If anymore information is required I will try my best to obtain it.

Comment 4 Javier Jardón 2010-05-20 23:18:29 UTC
No, at least in my case (GeForce FX 5700VE) OpenGL is not broken.

I can play neverball, xmoto, supertuxkart nad more 3D games without problems.

Comment 5 Sam H 2010-05-25 04:53:29 UTC
I can't reproduce the problem I was having in relation to comment 3 after a reboot. Original bug still stands.

Comment 6 Gabriel Gomez 2010-05-28 18:16:11 UTC
Compiz doesn't work for me. I get the same result with this card:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] [10de:0322] (rev a1)

Comment 7 KL 2010-05-29 10:57:01 UTC
Same error applies to NV38 (Quadro FX1300 on Dell Precision 670) - screen is garbled as soon as compiz is enabled.

05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV38GL [Quadro FX 1300] (rev a2)

OpenGL vendor string: nouveau
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on NV35
OpenGL version string: 2.0 Mesa 7.8.1
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20

glxgears works fine (~2000 frames) but shows wrong GL_RENDERER:
GL_RENDERER   = Gallium 0.4 on NV35
GL_VERSION    = 2.0 Mesa 7.8.1
GL_VENDOR     = nouveau

Comment 8 Trevor Mettam 2010-06-10 10:30:00 UTC
Same result here:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] (rev a1)
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL vendor string: nouveau
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on NV34
OpenGL version string: 2.0 Mesa 7.8.1
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20

* Garbled output on: Compiz; GNOME Shell; Armacycles AD; Globulation 2; BosWars; Astromenace

* Glaxium works fine for a bit then cuts to black.

* Incorrect lighting on ball and coins in Neverball/Neverputt, otherwise works fine.

* Flickering frame buffers on D1X (Descent)

Comment 9 Trevor Mettam 2010-06-10 13:35:32 UTC
...also

* Penumbra Demos (Overture and Black Plague) crash

Rawhide here.

The sitouation was improved a bit with the latest driver update:

Name        : mesa-dri-drivers-experimental
Arch        : x86_64
Version     : 7.9
Release     : 0.2.fc14

Comment 11 Trevor Mettam 2010-06-16 11:49:01 UTC
Tried another couple of 3D game engines...

* Q3A (Quake III Arena, Urban Terror, World of Padman) work fine, albeit slow, except for WoP which hangs the machine when you try to start a game/demo.

* Darkplaces (Quake, Nexuiz) crashes.

Comment 12 Eddie Lania 2010-06-21 11:35:43 UTC
Having exactly the same problems.

VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34GL [Quadro FX 500/600 PCI] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

Comment 13 Michael Setzer II 2010-07-09 16:36:04 UTC
Just installed Fedora 13 with Nvidia FX5500 PCI card since machine has not AGP slot, and see the same garbled screen when selecting the Desktop effects.

Comment 14 Trevor Mettam 2010-08-16 03:44:07 UTC
Legacy propriety nVidia NV34 drivers for Xorg 1.8 under Fedora 13 are now available at RPMFusion.

repo:     rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing
package:  kmod-nvidia-173xx (meta-package, will install dependencies)

Note: requires Kernel 2.6.34.

Comment 15 Julian Sikorski 2010-09-29 22:55:52 UTC
I no longer use this hardware.

Comment 16 Ben Skeggs 2010-11-02 03:46:02 UTC
This won't be fixed in F13.  Please update to F14 and file a new bug if the problem still persists.
