desktop effects could not be enabled
 

I have just installed FC6, and when i run "desktop-effects" in command line, I got the reply "desktop effects could not be enabled". and the code is [root@localhost ~]# desktop-effects
gnome-window-decorator: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a decoration manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current decoration manager.
compiz: GLX_SGIX_fbconfig is missing
compiz: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz: No managable screens found on display :0.0

How about enabling them as a normal user and not root. I think there is a menu entry somewhere that allows you to do this.

desktop effects still dosen't work
 

I have tried desktop effects replace but i got the same result the same as i login with an other user, desktop effect could not be enabled! i wonder if there some thing wrong with my ATI driver or if I should update my system.

Same problem in FC6
 

I'm having the same problem. I get the same error message and when I try the --replace I also get the same error.
I am fairly new to the whole graphical effects in linux so ny help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I'm a bit of a newbie too;), but does your graphics card support the kind of effects you're trying to enable?

gfx card
 

well it's an ati 128 mb, looked smashing on windows. I'm pretty sure that it could handle the piddly little demands on compiz.

have you installed the ATI drivers from their website or are you just using the default drivers that come with FC6?
