need help: Compiz + nvidia GeForce 6150

Hello,
I've been hitting my head against the wall on this one for a
while.  I'm 
having trouble getting compiz to work on my system.
In FreeBSD 6.x I had beryl/emerald running and it worked
FAST... cube 
switching, wobbly windows, etc.


compiz --sm-disable --indirect-rendering --replace ccp
make the windows redraw REAL slow, unusable.

compiz --sm-disable --replace ccp
Without indirect-rendereing, the Desktop goes black, and
newly launched 
windows are all black:


Here is my system info:

Please help me get compiz working!  If I can't get this
working, I'm 
considering buying a card for my PCIe 16x slot.  What have
people used 
to get compiz working?

Rudy

DOH!

I rebooted and upped the Frame Buffer from 32M to 256M in
the BIOS menu. 



Also, I added UseEvents=false.  Which fixed it?  I'll never
know!

Odd that I set it from 32M to 256M and the Xorg.log file
show 256M --> 
512M.  What is up with that?

You probably changed AGP aperture size. I expect there is an
algorithm
in the nvidia driver which calculates the 'correct' amount
of VideoRam
to steal from shared memory when attaching to a shared
memory graphics
card like the 6150. It is probably max(256MB, 2 *
agp_aperture_size). I
could be dead wrong..

The intel driver manages shared memory in a similar way.
