hi jschiwal-
i made good progress but had a slight issue.
the compiz manager under system configuration is cool.
i didnt need to install the legacy drivers as i already
have them installed...
x11-video-nvidia and nvidia-gfx-kmp-default.
so when i went to enable compiz and restart X i got this
message: dlopen libnividia-tls.so.1 cannont open shared
object file: no such file
and i was locked out of X until i disabled compiz by
deleting a file in /opt/kde3/env named kdewm.sh and
also running this command:
gnome-xgl-switch --disable-xgl
i am not totally clear on how to get the right file i need
to fix it. a fix was suggested on a yahoo search at this link:
not exactly sure how to proceed.

any ideas? it sounds like it is just a matter of getting the
right file and updating something. i saw a tls package in
my software repository but not sure if it is the right one.
had to do with openssl??? doesnt sound right.
well...anyways i still have KDE up and running with nvidia.
and even if i dont get it running i got to see how easy and
cool it is to switch back and forth between compiz and KDE.
one click.
thanks very much,
jim
