  • I've played Nexuiz off and on for a year or two now - first on Windows XP Pro, with no probs. I messed with Ubuntu back at 7.10 or so and had no problems running Nexuiz on it, but now I'm having troubles with the combo mentioned in the subject line. This is what happens:

    Boot Nexuiz. Title screen is fine.
    Main menu is all jacked up - missing elements all over. No text at all.
    I click blindly long enough to start a game; maps are missing textures.
    Input doesn't work - can't move, can't shoot.

    What info do you need, and what did I do wrong?

  • How did you install the graphics driver?

    Please post the output of "glxinfo" on the console.
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

    You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

  • I'm running the drivers that were automatically loaded - haven't touched them. (I believe they are the Xorg Intel ones.)

  • Very odd - today I turned on Nexuiz and it worked perfectly fine. So I guess this is solved...

  • Well, try turning off desktop effects (like window wobbling). Then it should be fine.
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

    You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

  • Yup, just found the culprit - advanced Compiz effects!
