Created attachment 446757 [details] desktop effect in the system settings I am using rawhide, and I have upgraded to the latest one. KDE Desktop Effect still does not work. When I click into Desktop Effect of System Settings, It shows: Desktop effects are not available on this system due to the following technical issues: It does not tell me what the issue is. I can use compiz perfectly. I do not think my display card drop 3D acceleration support. My card is Radeon 3650. Mesa is 7.9-devel. I think that it is a bug. My friends using other distributions tell me that their desktop effects works so well with Radeon opensource driver.

Fedora >= 14 uses the new Gallium-based r300g driver instead of the old r300, and it seems that driver doesn't work with KWin desktop effects. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 624208 ***
Looks like this is not the r300g driver, but the r600 driver which is not Gallium-based, so this seems to be a different regression.
(In reply to comment #3) > Looks like this is not the r300g driver, but the r600 driver which is not > Gallium-based, so this seems to be a different regression. er... I do not sure whether this is a kwin's bug or a mesa's bug.
I'm also effected by this
looks like kwin upstream will be disabling functionality checks, since they are largely broken. you too can do this manually, systemsettings->desktop effects->advanced (tab)->disable functionality checks (the downside is that if your driver doesn't support opengl, crashy crashy... but that's where you can relogin using a kde (failsafe) session to save the day)
All the tabs are disabled on my screen. I can't click on the "general", "all effects", or the "Advanced" tab.
This should be a bug of MESA, or the new thing "Gallium", my old laptop with ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M, it works like a jet with F13... OPENGL works so good with X200M in F13... Rdesfo, do you have any chance to try F13 with latest updated packages? If I were you, I would try right the way.
OK, reassigning to ati driver, I guess this to reassigned back here when re-opened (from previously dup'd state).

Still an issue with f16 or f17 ?
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
