No Desktop effects in Fedora 11
It's not turning on - when I click the button, the box goes gray and after quite a while I get a box saying "Unable to turn it on" or something to that effect.
I checked with glxinfo and direct rendering is: Yes.
My card is GeForce 8400 GS.
Can anyone help?
Thx.

The file isnt there:
Retrieving http://leigh123linux.fedorapeople.or...1.8.noarch.rpm
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404
error: skipping http://leigh123linux.fedorapeople.or...1.8.noarch.rpm - transfer failed
And now I think I've deleted my compiz:
Removed:
compiz.i586 0:0.7.8-18.fc11 compiz-fusion.i586 0:0.7.8-8.fc11
compiz-fusion-gnome.i586 0:0.7.8-8.fc11 compiz-gnome.i586 0:0.7.8-18.fc11

I d'l'ed compiz-fusion-release-1-8.noarch.rpm from the web with a Google, and then did all that Yum stuff. A menu showed up in "Preferences" I think, I turned on "3D windows" or whatever it was, now when I log into Gnome, my screen goes white and it's not logging in 
I'm just off to reinstall.
Strangely I had a live DVD of Sabayon 4, and that did "wobbly windows" just fine, but not the 3D cube. |

that is the problem the "nv" driver is 2 d ONLY -- there is NO 3d support in it
PLEASE install the kmod-nvidia driver for your card !
and please READ the instructions for running and installing the 3d desktop.
i posted both links
