The problem seems to be the failure to acquire TTM support. I've meant to get his one bugzilla'd. The error I see is: Failed to initialize TTM buffer manager. Falling back to classic. Its apparently reported all over the place with intel chips if you google TTM buffer manager. One report is at [2]. Compiz works, compiz-fusion does not. If I start up the super-basic compiz functionality using the 'Enable Desktop Effects' dialog I can use compiz with the cube, wobbly windows, and I have Direct Rendering enabled. I can run 3d games (mostly) although occasionally compiz will turn all white again.<div class="Ih2E3d"> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> i was wondering why i had to use that indirect rendering option, and if i can get rid of it ? i tryed adding "i915.modeset=1" in my grub.conf, </blockquote> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> i can report new resolution available, fast vt switching, no problem with font rendering, and things being a bit slower than before.. it seems stable, and it didn't helped with my problem of X being rendered all white and me having to set "indirect rendering" .. kernel mode setting looks very promising though :) </blockquote> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> hum.. anyone can see a solution about my X being rendered all white and indirect rendering option problem ? </blockquote> </div> I'd suggest doing 'yum remove compiz-fusion' and then trying to just use the Desktop Effects. I didn't even get as far as you with fusion because indirect rendering and loose binding both still cause the screen to go full white. I can even still type in the terminals I had on my desktop while its white, to quit fusion or start metacity, so its not crashing X its just displaying full brightness (for all but the mouse cursor which I can still see move).
