Bug#627119: nvidia-glx ext are loaded but compiz/kde-effects causes Xserver freeze

Wed May 18 19:57:09 UTC 2011

Yes, it doesn't freeze without compiz/kwin effects. I havn't got
binutils-gold installed.

i had some problems with dependency.
I wanted to check just downgrading the nvidia drivers to 260 (without
downgrading all xorg) but that was impoposible cause it needs xorg <1.7 :(

I had downgraded xserver-xorg (from snapshot repo) to version 1.7.7 (details
reported on log below) and downgraded nvidia-glx to 260 but that conf didn't
want to start Xserver.
So i've upgraded nvidia drivers to the newest version (and still got xorg
1.7.7).
Again xserver starts but there freeze with compiz/kwin effects. So that
didn't solved the problem:(

I've found posts with the same problem at nvidia forum :

& have send them my report.

I'd generated again bug report info - my current configuration:
