Several questions
#1

hello everybody.

 

I'm an advanced user... in windows lol.. I've been using windows since Windows 98 So i have many many questions.

 

I have just installed Fedora Core 8, this are my specifications:

- AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1.8 Mhz

- 512 Mb DDR ram (i use to have 1 GB, but one memory get trucked up)

- GeForce 7300 GS

- And an ASUS MB.

 

btw... i use the software in the spanish version, so i may not translate all the panel and menu options, ok?

 

Now... I want to use the Desktop effects. I just go to system-> preferences -> visual-du-no-wa and du-no-who-> Desktop efects, then, clic in Activate Desktop Effects, and... Desktop effects could not be enable.

Reading in previous pages i find that the newest nvidia controller must be installed, ok. How to install? I find that first i need to install or configure or something, the "livna".

To do so i go to the terminal and writed (as a super user):

rpm -Uvh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm

 

Then... install the controller or whatever with:

yum install kmod-nvidia

 

Now that all is installed i go to "desktop effects" again and... Desktop effects could not be enable.

 

How is that?

 

sorry if i'm UPPER noob in this. But i'm glad to learn and listen carefully :)

 

Thanks for the answers.

you do need to restart X after installing the nvidia drivers, did you do that ? (ctrl_alt_backspace or LOGOFF will do)

 

cheers
