I have tried that previously and it does not work on my system. Others have posted similar experiences. I still get poor performance using the default compiz on FC6 and black windows when trying to use beryl. We are just going to have to wait until such time as nVidia sees fit to release a version of their driver with a TFP implementation that supports enhanced use of video memory. I have seen posts from folks with nVidia cards that have 256 and 512 Mb of RAM and they still have these problems with black windows, missing window decorations, etc. If they can't things right, how are the rest of us with laptops with 64 Mb on our cards supposed to? Funny thing is, compiz-quinn and beryl both ran fine on my system when I used mesa-cvs with XGL before nVidia put TFP into their driver. Just wish they would get this fixed. Thanks for your post.
