Comments on Enabling Compiz Fusion On A Fedora 13 GNOME Desktop (NVIDIA GeForce 8100)
Enabling Compiz Fusion On A Fedora 13 GNOME Desktop (NVIDIA GeForce 8100) This tutorial shows how you can enable Compiz Fusion on a Fedora 13 GNOME desktop (the system must have a 3D-capable graphics card - I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce 8100 here). With Compiz Fusion you can use beautiful 3D effects like wobbly windows or a desktop cube on your desktop. I will use the free nouveau driver in this tutorial instead of the proprietary NVIDIA driver. nouveau is an accelerated Open Source driver for NVIDIA cards that comes with experimental 3D support on Fedora 13 - on my test system 3D support was working without any problems.

errrrrrr. Nouveau cannot handle running compiz fusion yet....... unless something has changed recently that I am not aware of???
there are now beta testing drivers for opensource 3D acceleration for nvidia cards. Much like ATI support in the last release of fedora. The next release these drivers should be moved out of beta and become standard with install as will GNOME 3 (gnome-shell)
Thanks for the great tut. I have an ATI HD4850 and it works great,
