Ok, I am going to start from the beginning so bare with me since I didn't really read everything else that was done. First off do: ps -ae | grep xgl Is XGL Running? rpm -qa | grep xgl Is it installed? rpm -qa | grep compiz Report to us what Compiz Packages you have installed. rpm -qa | grep nvidia So we know what Nvidia driver you are running. What Nvidia chipset do you have? You will not be able to run gnome-xgl-settings since it is now a part of compiz-gnome and not compiz (as it was previously).
