Desktop Effects Fedora Core 6 (No GLXFBConfig for def depth)

[werD]

Hello all,
Ive recently installed Fedora Core 6 and seem to be receiving an error from compiz when trying to enable desktop effects. i receive the following from a terminal when trying the command "desktop-effects" or "desktop effects --replace" and choosing enable effects. I am the first to admit to my linux noobness but i was hoping someone could be so kind to examine my xorg.conf below or point me in a direction that could help me to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance for any help

The open-source "nv" drivers don't suppot 3D acceleration. At all.

You'll need to install the nVidia binary drivers - I'm not sure the best way to do that on Fedora, but on Ubuntu it'd be apt-get install nvidia-glx. There's probably a package like it for you.

thanks for the post. evidentally im crazy. I had only logged out and back on after install the nvidia drivers. but after an actual reboot effects enabled well. I actually didnt install the nvidia drivers because the guide i read said the os version of them was a much better package.

i just looked around and have read that about no support of 3d ... now when i click to open a new desktop a large cube spins on the screen and my windows are now "wobbly". i should note that the specified section in xorg.cong changed to

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
EndSection


i do however have another question. How do i control the spinning of the cube likew ive seen on videos about xgl, and also how do i pull stretch the corners fo windows(appears like peeling). :)

Thanks again

i also wanted to note that here is where i found the recommendation to not use the drivers provided on Nvidia's site. I guess this is just a repackage. There are some really good fedora faqs on there
