@Paragkalra, To Enabling 3D effects (Compiz effects) in Fedora Core 6 Click here

This one is for NVidia GC. I know that yours is a NVidia card!!. So this one will be more
than enough for you. Happy Rotating Cube & Wobbly Windows!!

@Paragkalra, Checkout Cool 3D effects in Fedora 6 using Beryl click here
Beryl is a fork of Compiz. The Beryl effects are defintely better than XGL/AIGLX!!

Well, I'm on FC5 64 bit. I would like to have all the effects. Can XGL be installed on my distro? My signature has my config. Please do let me know if I can run on that. Also, methods to download the drivers for my ATI card, in case it can be run on my rig.

Thanks in advance.

Bye!

Which graphics card you have? I can't see one in your signature. If you have onboard graphics then better go for AIGLX than XGL.

I think I'll update my signature. Yeah, I've got an ATI Radeon Xpress 200(onboard). Could you please let me know where to download the drivers from? I tried googling it and searched a lot of forums, but I couldn't find the method.

Thanks in advance..

ATI is very problematic on linux. Anyway, try this: *www.fedorafaq.org/#radeon

I managed to install the ati radeon driver with the above mentioned method, BUT when I gave the setbool -P allow_execmod=1, the terminal gave an output saying that the command doesn not exist. Same goes with the init command. It didn't work for neither 3 nor 5. But when I gave this "ati-fglrx-config-display enable" command to enable the driver, it didn't complain. So, I think the driver is installed ok. You guys got any ideas why this happened? Now I need to know how to install this AIGLX. Yum couldn't download it.

Those commands were to allow the driver to load, bypassing SELinux. One advice, save yourself a LOT of trouble and just disable SELinux fully! As for AIGLX, try: *forums.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=121119

Well that's a nice link. Thanks But wont my security be compromised if I TOTALLY disable SELinux?? Wont my system be compromised for security? Also, can't I afford to install as mentioned in the above method without disabling SELinux though I have managed to download the ATI drivers? Please do let me know.

 

[mehulved]

SELinux isn't really needed for home users IMO. Or you can just temporarily disable it and re-enable it again.

 

[kalpik]

No, your security wont be compromised in any way. Its totally un-needed. And t_y_f, temporarily disabling SELinux is not the solution. Because SELinux blocks the kernel module of gfx drivers from loading. Believe me when i say it is COMPLETELY safe to disable SELinux.

Is it?? :Exclaimation: Well, I still don't know how to disable and re enable it temporarily

 

[kalpik]

^^ Its in the system menu -> security (i think). There you can disable SELinux.

You running FC5? The link i gave was for FC6.

 

[phreak0ut]

Yeah! I 'jumped' in as I didn't want to make a seperate thread for this as it appeared a bit similar. Can you tell me how to do with FC5? I tried the method suggested for XGL, but still I get the same error

 

[kalpik]

No.. That link wont work for FC5. Actually there is no AIGLX on FC5. For XGL on FC5, why dont you try: *fedora-xgl.blogspot.com/2006/05/howto-install-compiz-and-xgl-on-fedora.html
