cannot enable desktop-effects !!
 

I try to enable desktop-effects , it showed like below:
$ desktop-effects
compiz (core) - Fatal: No valid GL extensions string found.
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

how can i do to fix this and use desktop-effects?_!

compiz (core) - Fatal: No valid GL extensions string found.
... enable hardware DRI for your video card.

sorry .. can u tell in more detail .
I am new to Fedora. and I dont know how to set the DRI

easiest way, go to yast... "online Update"
update everything for a complete XML files
or before u do tat, uninstall ur 3D card driver 1st
then go to the repositories to redo the installation for the driver.

i am facing kinda same problem with u
it says my 3d card cannot run the 3d acceleration.
most probably due to hardware problem i think.
any body can enlighten me something?

i am using P4 2.4G 32-bit processor.
PX400 Phenix motherboard.
, obsolete Ati Radeon 9200 graphic card.
512mb kingston ddr ram

pango853 what's ur spec for ur pc? that would help.

Have a look at these threads at Fedora Forum.

And here is my card detail :
my card : Ati x1950 Pro
kernel : 2.6.23.9-85
driver : ati-driver-installer-8.443.1-x86.x86_64.run

Please help me. Thank you very much.

Did you read my post with the links? Install Compiz.

To Glennzo :
Yes, I did, but notthing change . I still can start the desktop-effects.

Never mind Desktop Effects. Use ALT-F2 and type fusion-icon. See what that gets you and go from there.

i type fusion-icon : it show like
* Detected Session: unknown
* Searching for installed applications...
* No GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap with direct rendering context
... nor with indirect rendering, this isn't going to work!
....
..

What is the problem ?

And I used the way the install my x1950 card.

then follow http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forum/...ghlight=compiz
to install the compiz and so on.
But, in fact, I just wanna try the Desktop-Effects in Fedora. Is that so difficult?
I can use it when I use Ubuntu before. The same hardware. But I just like Fedora more. Can anyone help me.

* thx Glennzo, you did help a lot.
