Compiz requires direct rendering to work
so please don't bother posting saying compiz doesn't work unless you have direct rendering working .
To test
Code:
glxinfo |grep direct
The result should be
Code:
[root@localhost leigh]# glxinfo |grep direct
direct rendering: Yes
[root@localhost leigh]#
Instructions for F11, F12 & F13
1. Install the compiz-fusion-release rpm
Code:
su
yum -y erase *compiz*
rpm -ivh http://leigh123linux.fedorapeople.org/compiz-fusion-release-1-8.noarch.rpm
If this fails try
Code:
su
yum -y erase *compiz*
yum -y install wget
wget http://leigh123linux.fedorapeople.org/compiz-fusion-release-1-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh compiz-fusion-release-1-8.noarch.rpm
rm -f compiz-fusion-release-1-8.noarch.rpm
2. Install compiz-fusion ( you will need to delete the old compiz configuration files /home/username/.gconf/apps/compiz ) (For F12 use the yum commands in post #2 as I have changed the packaging scheme to match fedora)
