Changes to CCSM in Ubuntu 11.10 don't take effect
Dear All,
After installing Ubuntu 11.10 and installing CCSM, I discovered that changes I make to CCSM settings take no effect what so ever. I have the DELL XPS 14z with*Nvidia GeForce GT520M with 1GB video memory, Nvidia Optimus graphics switching technology. Any ideas what's going on ?Thank you.

Are you possibly running unity-2d rather than the 3d version? If, when you hover over the launcher the popup names have a crisp white border you are using 2d, if they are soft then 3d. To switch, click the cog above password field on logon screen, but if your graphic hardware will not support 3d then you get 2d even if you don't select it.

Probably you are running Unity 2D and not Unity. Have you installed the proprietary NVIDIA driver, with System Settings->Additional Drivers? -- Ioannis Vranos http://cppsoftware.binhoster.com -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

Just mentioning that that is not infallible: $ /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945GM x86/MMX/SSE2 OpenGL version string: 1.4 Mesa 8.0-rc2 Not software rendered: yes Not blacklisted: yes GLX fbconfig: yes GLX texture from pixmap: yes GL npot or rect textures: yes GL vertex program: yes GL fragment program: yes GL vertex buffer object: yes GL framebuffer object: yes GL version is 1.4+: yes Unity 3D supported: yes But I can't run unity 3d. The reason is that I have dual monitors and the chipset only supports 3d up to a max total width of 2048, a fact that unity-support-test is not aware of.

I wasn't asking for help by the way, I know the Intel 945 family will not support 3d at greater than 2048 width, just pointing out that the test software is not infallible.
