Problem enabling compiz fusion on fedora 13 (graphic card)
i already installed compiz fusion on my fedora 13 but the problem is it requires nvidia drivers for 3d hardware acceleration. I'm using "intel corporation mobile 945GM/GMS" video card when i open up my display setting. So, i configured my video card, i change it to "nv - nVidia Riva 128, RIVA TNT, Geforce, nForce, and QUADRO cards"... After rebooting the system, it goes into runlevel 3 mode (init 3). i log in as root and enter init 5 to enter GUI mode but it failed..
so.. i log in again as root and use "system-config-display --reconfig" and change back the video card to original intel integrated chipset card. Success!! i can log in to gnome desktop again.. but no compiz fusion..
im using compaq presario c600... is my graphic card isn't compatible to run the compiz? what is my mistakes there? is there any driver for 3d hardware acceleration for intel's graphic card?
1, your card is not an NVIDIA, so NV driver will not work, you need a driver for Intel
2. the NV driver is deprecated and does not support 3D, nor compiz
fedora should have auto set up the intel driver that is in the kernel -- done this by default
also fedora no longer uses "xorg.conf" , it can IF YOU make one but one is not needed ( except for "unusual" settings )
are you using the current built for fedora by fedora users compiz-0.8.5
from the fedoraforum.ogr guild /help page dose the check script run and give you all yes 's
dose the "direct rendering" test say yes or no ???
"compiz-0.8.5 repo for F10, F11 & F12 + guide for the official fedora packages " http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=173317

Intel card can run Compiz, what does glxinfo say?
Hey, thanks for the info.. now i just need to install the driver that can support my intel's card..
