I finally got it going with gnome. I have no noticed any slow down what so ever. I'm even compiling two applications and watching a divx movie with mplayer.
The screen updates on the wobble are sliky smooth. I'm very impressed.

It did not help me. I'm getting the missing kde borders and compiz segfaults when running it.
Anyone elese having this problem?
Does it work in Gnome?, I'll install KDE and see if it works for me.
i got my borders back (in gnome) after
- deleting the ~/.gconf/apps/compiz dir
- restarting X
- toggling the gnome desktop effects button off/on
maybe this helps you too!
i found that compiz runs a lot smoother with high cpu load when started with the "--direct-rendering" option. there is a compiz entry in gconf /apps/gnome-session/rh/window_manager/ can this be used to add a custom command?
how high is the cpu load?
i was running a kernel compile in the background to generate the cpu load :)
nvidia recommends using direct rendering
yes read it on http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=77030 this made me think of the --direct-rendering switch, and it worked out nicely. ... btw. the 'export __GL_YIELD="NOTHING"' tip from that howto made it again slower.
cheers
