Hi,
i have a geforce 6800gt with fc6 and compiz working with the bta driver
from livna.
Also googleearth runs smooth here.
Here is a short extract from my xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "nvidia"
        VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
        BoardName   "nVidia Corporation NV40 [GeForce 6800 GT]"
        Option      "NvAGP" "1"
        Option      "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"
        Option      "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
EndSection

You have to check the modules:

Section "Module"
        Load  "fbdevhw"
        Load  "record"
        Load  "freetype"
        Load  "type1"
        Load  "glx"
        Load  "dbe"
        Load  "extmod"
EndSection

And i have:
Section "Extensions"
        Option      "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection


Since today, compiz and googleearth works with the non-beta driver from
nvidia, which is released today.

For testing, if the nvidia driver is active, you have to seee the
nvidia screen, before the X-Server starts. Also a good measurement is
glxgears and glxinfo.
Check with lsmod, if the module nvidia is inserted:
[root@bauhaus0 ~]# lsmod | grep nvi
nvidia               4723188  36 
i2c_core               25537  3 i2c_ec,nvidia,i2c_nforce2

I wish you luck :)
