Hello, I upgraded my Dell D800 from a FC5 to FC6 (fresh install). There were a few problems, but I was expecting them, so the install/initial configure wasn't too bad. Anyway, thought I'd give the fancy AIGLX stuff a try, so I enabled the Desktop Effects. Looks like it worked, but compiz is damn slow. My laptop isn't brand spanking new, but the specs aren't too bad: CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1600MHz RAM: 1GB Video: GeForce4 Ti 4200 Go AGP, 32MB Is my laptop just too wimpy, or is something else wrong? FYI: I tried out XGL or AIGLX or whatever in FC4, and back then performance was okay. The desktop was usable, even with the 3D effects enabled. I must be missing something. Regards, Ranbir --
