So I suggest you make sure that you log out and back in to ensure the nvidia module is working before your start editing things and making back ups.
Thanx Alex! You did a great job of breaking it down more. Only prob is that I'm still running FC5. I thought the update of the livna modules was good for FC5 as well. Lonnie said in his post that it was just for FC6. <groans> Is it just a matter of having the FC6 kernel? Or is there a slew of changes making this entire matter moot? Thanx! Ric
As Lonni helpfully points out and is very very correct, although you can get compiz to work with aiglx on FC5, it's much much simpler if you move over to FC6. Although I did manage to get FC5 working with compiz and AIGLX, it wasn't at all stable for me and certainly wasn't fun to work on. I highly recommend FC6 for this.
During periods of high activity on my desktop, the mouse seems to have a bit of trouble tracking. YMMV, but I thought I'd point that out to you. It does look very good though.
OK, I GIVE!! compiz works pretty well on FC5 but there are just enough annoying jimmies going on that I might as well bite the gosh darn bullet here. Who would be willing to burn me a good working set and how much?? I don't have that much bandwidth now that I've moved to the kon-trey. Papadizi blows up now and that just pushed me over the edge. No Papadizi = No life. Ric
