I just cant get any of these cool things working...

I have tired all of them... Anything in AIGLX just wont work for me. WHY? lol. Im using 9626 driver. I have FC6 installed so I have xorg7.1. What do I do???? This is ticking me off.

When trying to run beryl manager I get this:
(This is the RPM package. The default "click enable desktpo effects" button wont work either. It just says its unable to work)

Someone who knows what they are doing, please help me out here.

Code:

Relaunching beryl with __GL_YIELD="NOTHING"

By using the commands in the first post and the xorg.conf int he 3rd post (or 4th) it worked when i restarted x. I have no idea how i did this lol. but i am happy enough to cry...been working on having glx and eye candy at the same time for about 10 days now and about 16 hours avg a day.

In a Mandriva One Live CD, it works out of the box--automatically configured for Compiz and XGL/AIGLX based on your hardware--nothing needs to be installed, it all works out of the box--amazing.

That could've given you encouragement--it certainly gave it to people at my school when I showed it off--they're thinking about installing it along with OpenOffice.org thanks to me. Lol.

I might have to try that Live CD. I've seen movies of this new eye candy stuff but never tried it myself. With FC6 release slipping everyday I have the opportunity to try new stuff I guess.

So based on the hardware in my signature, which one(s) do you think would work? I guess AIGLX is out of the question since I don't have an ATI card.

I've heard that ATI gives more success than failure with AIGLX...
