some. All you nvidia fans can use desktop effects with the new beta
drive.
Only problem so far is no border,so I'm unable to move or resize
the
window. Cube desktop works well.
setting Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "on" in xorg.conf fixed this for me.
Also there is an interesting thread on http://www.compiz.net/topic-4707-nvidia-aiglx-compiz Would be nice to know how to use this slowdown fix in fedora.
cheers

That didn't seem to fix anything for me, I'm running 64bit ver. I also ran into another problem, if I try to run a terminal I just get a white box, the console never shows up. I'm sure this has more to do with the nvidia driver and compiz not sure if it needs to be filed or not.
I'm still getting the missing borders too. Noticed that the AddARGBGLXVisuals failed if the default depth was set to anything lower than 24 in the screen section.
Thats funny I saw something in my logs complaining about using 32 I'll try 24. OK checked the log "(WW) NVIDIA(0) 32-bit ARGB GLX visuals are only supported in depth 24" That explains it. the nextt line disables it.
I'm not using the patch, I may give that a shot. I'm trying not to patch anything, I want the install to stay clean ... well somewhat anyway I guess I blew that out with the nvidia beta driver.
