be bypassed?

3D desktop effects is still in a developmental stage. So far, video card functionality is limited more or less to the popular nvidias, Intel's, and some ATI's. My advice would be to wait for your card to be supported. Or you could volunteer to test experimental code on your system

If you still want to try for a 3D desktop, then try running it with AIGLX instead of XGL. At best they don't express that via cards will not work.

Hi,
Look up the instructions on installing and using Beryl. It will let you set up and manage the 3D effects.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the way mandriva installs programs. Your best bet is to download the latest development svn of beryl and its associate programs, compile, and install those.

Make sure neither compiz nor XGL are running anymore.
