How do you start Compiz? Check if you have all relevant packages installed, 
and activate it using fusion-icon instead of Gnome's "desktop effects", and 
see if that works. Fusion-icon is usually smarter to start Compiz the Right 
Way. So, disable desktop effects in Gnome, restart, login and pick 
fusion-icon from the menu or from the command line. If that works, make 
fusion-icon autostart every time you login. Also, I recommend using Emerald 
window decorator, it is very well adapted to Compiz, and has some nice 
effects of its own.

HTH, :-)

Not all compiz effects working

2009-03-09 Thread Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 
Hello Everyone,

I am running Fedora 10 x86_64 on a P5Q-E motherboard with a Radeon HD
3870 graphics card.  I'm using the fglrx module provided by RPMs from
the rpm fusion non-free repo. My desktop environment is Gnome.

I have "desktop effects" enabled, which has let me put the desktop on a
cube and has made the windows wobbly.  Cool!  Unfortunately, enabling
more 3D effects using the CompizConfig Settings Manager doesn't work.

For example, I turned on Expo, which should activate after moving the
mouse to the top left corner.  It never works.  3D Windows, which should
make my windows appear to float above the desktop when I spin the
desktop, doesn't work either.  As far as I can tell, none of the
additional effects are working.

I've tried deleting all my compiz settings, restoring the default compiz
settings, enabling/disabling "desktop effects", and logging in and out
(even complete reboots).  Nothing has fixed the problem.

Am I missing something, or do the additional effects not work with my 3D
card?  Incidentally, I have been able to use all of the above effects
(and more) on a HP notebook running the i386 version of Fedora 10 with
an embedded Intel chipset.

Regards,

Ranbir
