Can we enable or install 3d Graphic effects on Debian(5.05 Lenny) Gnome Desktop.
Like ..what we see in Open-SUSE(desktop effects,3d workspace-switching,etc....)
can it be installed in Debian to look different.
I recently installed slackware 13.1 in to my laptop.Then i could installed pro priority nvidia driver.It worked fined but i couldn't enable 3d desktop effects.When i try to enable it give the following error, Failed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options. Settings will be reverted to their previous values.Check your X configuration. You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the compositing type.

Please help me to config my machine.Currently I can not enable Desktop Effects any more. I receive this message: "Accelerated 3D graphics is not available. Desktop effects require hardware 3D support."
I'm sure that I could enable the functions of compiz when I used fedora 11 and Fedora 12-beta on my laptop before.Besides, when I represent my slides, I can not see my screen on my laptop any more. It's dark. When I used Fedora 12-beta, I can see my screen and another screen for my representation.Is my Fedora lack of some necessary packages? Is it necessary to reinstall the VGA driver? How can I do?
I just installed Fedora on my system. What should I do to get some nice desktop effects?Is there something that needs to be installed? or do I need to change some settings?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI click 'Enable' on the dekstop effects. Usually, nothing will pop up at all. Sometimes, the 'Keep Settings' thing will turn on, upon seeing I click it to keep the new settings. I turn the appearance page back on, and it says there are no effects enabled. I want to enable normal effects.
I had an old version of Ubuntu for almost half a year before updating to Lucid Lynx. I recently wiped the new version of ubuntu accidentally (lucid lynx) while playing around with it, but before I wiped it I had graphics driver and effects enabled no problem. Emerald and transparency worked, etc. I did the exact same steps this time that I did on my last install of Ubuntu- and now it won't work.
I have compiz installed but it won't enable effects either. My graphics card is a Nvidia GE Force MX, i think.
When I try to enable desktop effects it follows the usual procedures but at the very end it says: Desktop effects could not be enabled. My driver is working when I run that hardware test. this is my output from "compiz" at a terminal.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Nvidia Geforce 8400GS card installed. I just reinstalled Ubuntu 9.10 on my computer, everything works but I can't enable desktop effects. I tried using the generic drivers in synaptic nothing. Tired the restricted drivers, (both of them) the system runs smoother, but still can't enable desktop effects.
I tried upgrading to 10. And after the upgrade and restart I just got a black screen. I couldn't even access the terminal So I went back to 9.10. I ran the compiz-checker script. And it spit back:
"More than one graphics chip detected -- sorry, the script can not handle that. Aborting."
Which lead me to believe the onboard card was still enabled. Unfortunately I can't disable it in bios as my bios doesn't have that option.
At first when i tried to enable desktop effects it said it was disabled and it had to enable it with control + shift + f12, whenever i did this it said it was enabled, but it actually wasn't.When i pressed defaults in the hope to fix it, it stopped working completely, i cannot even click on enable anymoreMy graphics card is a Radeon HD4850 and i have installed the driver trough jockey.The problem looks like this:I also seem to have a problem with themes that use transparent windows, i've tried several themes that were transparent for my friends, but they weren't for me...
View 2 Replies View RelatedFor some reason I cannot enable desktop effects. When I try to enable from the Appearance settings it actually turns on and I can see the effects, but then it pops up a message saying "Desktop effects could not be enabled" and then it turns them back off. I saw a thread suggesting I run compiz from the command line and check the output. But when I do that it works fine and gives no errors. I also tried downloading compiz-check and here's the output of that:

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am running F11 and want to spanky up my Gnome desktop a little by adding the desktop effects. When I try to enable it, my screen flickers then returns simply "unable to enable effects".I don't know where to go from here, I tried to google this but the 15 billions hits made me weep.One link seemed to provide some hope but after following the instructions, things went totally wrong and screwed up my X server; this could be because at first I didn't realise but a default install of F11 puts the PAE kernel on.

Now I have to enable Gnome desktop effects, then KDE desktop effects will be enabled. When I select "enable desktop effects" and press "OK" in KDE, it will tell me "... X configuration ..." something. What the hell is that? I never met this problem in Gnome. Is it a KDE's bug?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I first installed OpenSuse, the sound and video drivers worked fine. But now, even after a new install and some basic driver-installation procedures, I can't get either one to work properly: I can't enable desktop effects (and when I try, metacity window decorations become invisible), and sound doesn't play through my headphones. I know the headphones are fine because they work on my Sansa, and I know general sound is fine because sounds work when I just use my laptop's speakers, but both combined somehow simply don't work.

i have already installed my updated video drivers and the "Visual Effects" menu is still grayed out.
I had Compiz Fusion working and wobbly windows and the likes, but after installing some updates and VirtualBox, Cairo Dock and AWN to see which one I liked, Amarok and Qlix for Zune, I restarted. Now when I open Cairo Dock there is a black border around it like transparency is disabled, no desktop effects, and I am unable to activate them because I get a no drivers found message. I don't see why this is happening considering it was working from the get-go
I have an ATI Radeon x1300, which is on the legacy list so I don't think there are drivers for it anymore that work with newer versions of Ubuntu, but I don't understand why it worked before.

2.5 GB RAM
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
ATI Radeon x1300
Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 32 Bit (Is it worth upgrading to 64 bit?)
I am trying to do some video tutorials at [uRL] on Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10 this is the first edition to require desktop effects. When I install it in the VM it isn't enabled right away. when I go to enable it I ran in to the problem that I couldn't find appearance. When I opened appearance from the terminal I couldn't enable Visual effects because mutter is running. How do I drop to the base terminal and enable visual effects?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI don't remember what I was doing exactly, I think I was changing the wallpaper and at the same time doing something else when all of a sudden the monitor flickered and I no longer had the advanced desktop effects with compiz. They had been working perfectly before and now all of a sudden I cannot use them. When I click on 'Extra' in the 'Visual Efects' I get the message 'Could not enable desktop effects'.I've tried 'compiz --replace' in the terminal and the windoww borders go away.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI used the rpmfusion nvidia drivers for my Fedora installation up until a day ago when all of sudden my display turned black after an update. Also, I am using a sony laptop with Nvidia GT230M (with proprietary drivers there are some huge problems like not detecting display, i had to use custom edid file to get it working).After fresh install, things just worked and everything is fine. But the only problem is it is not letting me enable Desktop Effects. I am very much used to Scale to switch my windows and I am kinda missing that functionality. This brings to my question, which driver is being used with my installation now?
