Well first, sorry for my very poor English,I'm Very new in linux Operate system & I have some troubles whit my driver, i used the cn700/vt8237s/vt8237r plus from http://www.linux.via.com.tw, and is well on graphics and 2d, but i can't run the 3d support , well my mother board is a cn400/pm800 and the video chip is a VIA VT8237R, this the reason because i used this driver.

the glxinfo:

and when i try run compiz-fusion:

Checking for Xgl: not present.

not present.

I ran compiz whit the same driver an once in the past, but i deleted all from my computer, for started a new clear installation.


For your Help thanks.

well i solved, i modified /etc/modules like this:

fuse
lp
-f via
-f via_drm
-f via_unichrome

and that's all the new via driver for cn700+vt8237s/vt8237r plus, is run with compiz without problem in a cn400/pm800/pm880 with the vt8237r video chip.
Jesus bless you.

Excuse for not knowing how to program in linux. Can you provide more detail step how to do modification. Do I type in exactly what you list here?

Do I have to do anything before that, like download the drivers or the drivers already in the computer will do.

Thank.

Download and install the drivers, per the included instructions. Then go /etc/modules and add the lines that were posted to your modules file. Then give a final reboot and this should help the situation.
