I am pretty much new to Linux and this really saved my butt. It worked perfectly and I learned alot about command line syntax. Thanks again

Hi there!
Been following this tutorial now for more than 1 month. Even tried re-installing the system, but my problem still remains.
What happens is as follows:
1-I install the system with no problems;
2-I got no errors when installing akmod-nvidia;
3-Disabled noveau in modprobe's blacklist;
4-Edited xorg.conf
but.... when enabling desktop effects or compiz, everything get's ultra-slow and unresponsive...
uname -r
Code:
2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i586
glxinfo | grep direct

I'd much thankful if someone could help me.
Thanks in advance

rpm -q ccsm
Code:

I've the workarounds enabled on ccsm, but the only setting referring to nvidia is the "Force synchronization between X and GLX", witch in turn, being enabled or not, the result is the same...

For what it is worth department.
With fedora 11, kernel-2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i686 the screen redraw was VERY slow. I always had to use the 2.6.29 rev kernels. HOWEVER with the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.42, that problem has been fixed.

Update compiz first using Leigh's tutorial. Your version is buggy and obsolete.
Code:
rpm -qa |grep compiz
compiz-manager-0.6.0-11.fc11.noarch
compiz-plugin-screensaver-0.8.5-1.fc11.x86_64
compizconfig-python-0.8.5-1.fc11.x86_64
compiz-0.8.5-1.fc11.x86_64
compiz-plugins-unsupported-0.8.5-1.fc11.x86_64
compiz-gnome-0.8.5-1.fc11.x86_64
libcompizconfig-0.8.5-1.fc11.x86_64
compiz-plugins-extra-0.8.5-1.fc11.x86_64
compiz-plugin-peek-0.8.5-1.fc11.x86_64
compizconfig-backend-gconf-0.8.5-1.fc11.x86_64
compiz-plugins-main-0.8.5-1.fc11.x86_64
compiz-bcop-0.8.5-1.fc11.noarch
If on i386 arch, you'll get version 0.8.3 IIRC, and that's fine.

Updated compiz-fusion like Leigh's manual (as instructed by Nokia) and updated the nVidia driver for NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.42 (as instructed by caddr) and all is working fine now!
Thank you all for the assistance!
Cheers!

Leigh123 in your post dated 25/11/2008 it includes F12 in the heading but the individual codes only mention F11. Can I use this for F12beta x86_64? It has taken several goes to get F12 installed and re-bootable and any attempt to change the graphics settings result in it throwing a wobbly and not re-booting.

Post #4 should work with F12 , add nouveau.modeset=0 to grub.conf and run nvidia-xconfig to generate a xorg.conf before rebooting.

Hi there,
I've just upgraded to leigh's 190.36 and the old much dreaded black windows bug reappeared. Anyone experiencing this ?
I'm on F11/kde 4.3, kwin compositing not compiz, Twinview 2944x1200, geForce 6600.

Try adding vmalloc=256m to the boot line in /boot/grub/grub.conf and reboot.
