    Hi,

    I recently installed the new Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy gibon. I discovered Compiz Fusion for the first time, but the effects like switching between the desks (cube effect), or moving a window are not very fluid. The drivers installed are the nvidia_glx_new.

    Do you have the same problem? any solution?

    thank you.

    I've got a similar setup, and I'm not seeing the same stuff. How is your x.org set up? What options are enabled?

    It looks spectacular on my Vostro 1500.
