When you say graphics card options, I take it you mean a gui interface that configures xorg.conf for you? I do not see any of those settings in nvidia settings but it sounds like some of the settings you would manually add to xorg.conf.

I have RenderAccell set to true
I also have compositing set to enabled

The wierd thing is I can see the spell effect that shows on a character when the level up as well as when I #bot update my bots. Just nothing else.

I guess that's why I chose to stay with Mandrake (Mandriva) all these years; since they were the most 'Windows-like' , it made my migration from Windows to Linux much easier. 'mandriva-drakconf' is a graphical Gui for configuring things like Hardware and a few other things (since I suck at typing, I look for these things anyway).
If you're seeing partial spell effects, than it must be working - maybe you have something unchecked in your client config?
Did you try setting desktop and client to resolution at 1024x768 with desktop and eq client set to 16 million colors?

Angelox do you mind posting your xorg.conf file. Should be somewhere like /etc/X11/xorg.conf

NVidia used to have their own generic Linux driver updates, which worked very well for me (Mandriva didn't always get my video driver right).
They probably still have it.

Wont be able to fart around with this till tonight but maybe I need to try specifying my screen resolution in xorg.conf instead of letting X auto detect it. I see yours is set up that way.

So you do have spell effects then, hmm...

I also see that you have DPMS enabled do you know what that is for?

I use the nvidia-drivers package and it pretty much auto configs xorg.conf for you. I just had to do some tweaking after that.

Might be still a problem with the install package from NVidia, you might want to Google for those missing pixel shader versions, see what pops up.
Also try one more thing, can you replace your /Titanium/RenderEffects directory with a fresh one?
