Description of problem: just installed fc6test2 on an dell inspiron 9300 with nvidia 6800 GPU. i have also applied ( by yum ) all the updates at 19/08/2006. when i want to try compiz i get the following messages : compiz: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this isn't going to work. compiz: Failed to manage screen: 0 compiz: No managable screens found on display :0.0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): compiz-0.0.13-0.16.20060817git.fc6 How reproducible: allways Steps to Reproduce: 1. launch compiz --replace 2. 3.

I used to get this with an ATI 9200 if the agpgart module was not loaded (apparently because it stops DRI from being activated). Loading it before starting x (or compiling it into the kernel as in the kernel packages) made the problem go away.
There is no 3d driver for nvidia hardware, so that is not going to work, sorry. As for the problem in comment #1, this is a different issue, but yes, the x server needs the agpgart module loaded for dri to work, and if you compile your own kernel you're basically on your own.
