sry, for top posting.. its an issue with yahoo right now....
I'll be doing this myself and had wondered about the new GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap option in the beta driver. I think it needs to be enabled in xorg.conf before aiglx can be turned on for nvidia cards. I could be wrong, but that might need to be set manually before aiglx can be enabled.

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to get aiglx/compiz to work on my FC6 box, I installed the 9626 beta driver from livna, which is working fine. However, every time I try to use the 'Desktop Effects' application in Gnome to enable the 3d effects I get the following error message:
'Desktop effects could no be enabled'
I've searched the logs for a more detailed error message, unfortunately I didn't find any. My card is a Geforce FX 5200, my xorg.conf is listed below:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig # nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder3) Wed Sep 20 16:56:19 PDT 2006 # Xorg configuration created by pyxf86config

Welcome aboard
I just fetched the new DVD x86_64 ISO file and slamed it onto my brand new work PC (Dell latitude D620 Core 2 Duo) and was expecting AIGLX to kick som sweet ass so I could impress my windows co-workers - but no no...
I get the exact same errors as you - and I have been crawling the web to find a solution. Every trick suggested fails - so I'm pretty sure something went bad in the final build.
I'm highly skilled and would love to test whatever to resolve this - so hit me with questions if you wanna help out.
