compiz problem
 

I got nvidia drivers installed tried to install compiz. says it is installed but it is not in my program list of look and feel. This is the error I get.
[craig@localhost ~]$ compiz
compiz (core) - Error: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager.
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0
[craig@localhost ~]$

Should I R & R it. or is there an easy fix

Thanks Craig

Actually, that error is telling you what you need to do, which is use compiz as the window manager instead of whatever is currently in use. For example, when I use Compiz under KDE, I need to run this:

compiz --replace ccp &

That will replace the existing window manager with Compiz and use the compiz control panel to make changes.

your question is answered in the error message :)

I just added the following as a startup program from System > Preferences > Sessions:

compiz --replace

I'm in GNOME though
