Nvidia driver problems with leigh's description
Hello everyone.
I'm pretty new to Fedora and got the typical Nvidia driver problem.
If I start the Desktop effekts (Compiz) he's telling me that I have no 3D Graphics accelerator installed.
I followed Leigh's description: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/sho...d.php?t=204752
I did the Kernel update. Didn't forget to reboot twice and installed the correct package (FX).
I also checked the /boot/grub/grub.conf. Nouveau is blacklisted.
I was thinktin about installing it from the Nvidia Website with su sh [install package].
I found an old thread where leigh was discussing with some people about the Nvidia installer.
I just got some trouble with terminating the X server (what ever it is).
Would you recommend me to try it with the Nvidia installer?
I should probably uninstall the driver and try it with the Nvidia description. Would just need some help on the X server then...
Well, actually I am posting this because I am pretty much out of ideas and it would be great to run compiz on this computer 
Hopefully someone got an Idea. My Graphic card is a Geforce FX 5500.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Nvidia driver problems with leigh's description
I would avoid using the driver from nvidia.com and figure out how to make the rpmfusion version work for you. If you do play with the one from nvidia.com then be sure to watch out for updates to mesalib-GL since the nvidia.com driver trashes those libraries (and requires reinstallation if they get updated).

Re: Nvidia driver problems with leigh's description
All right. I already thought that it would make sence to stick with the rpm packages.
But thanks for making that clear SS.
About the Error Message: The exact Error I get when I start "Desktop Effekts" is "Accelerated 3D graphics is not available. Desktop effects require hardware 3D support."
Hopefully someone got an idea. The graphic card itself is listed in the supported hardware...
So it SHOULD work. Don't know what I am doing wrong
