That fixes the googleearth error. But now I see that compositing is disabled. If I switch from opengl to xrender in the desktop effects setting then some of the effect work again, but a lot of them don't (e.g. the desktop cube doesn't). This all worked previously with the proprietary nvidia driver from rpmfusion. Is this a limitation of the nouveau driver or is there something else I need to do. I'm using kde if that matters. (for infornation, the nvidia driver would hang my system if i logged out or rebooted, so I don't really want to go back to it).
