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.

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.
Did you try the patched compiz that was included in the discussion?

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.

changing screen to 24 fixes all the problems, thanks
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?

i was running a kernel compile in the background to generate the cpu load :)

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.

ok I missunderstood you than, I thougt that using directrendering has caused high cpu load.

that simply don't use it ;)

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.

Dwaine, would you mind posting your xorg.conf? I can't seem to get off the ground with compiz. I got the Nvidia beta 9625 driver installed and working easily enough, but when I start compiz, I get this:
[jcliburn@osprey ~]$ compiz --replace gconf compiz: No sync extension
I'm running rawhide x86_64. I'd appreciate any other hints or tips to get it working.
Thanks, Jay

Never mind Dwaine. I found it. I was missing this line from my xorg.conf Modules section:

Thank you for that. I just tried to run compiz yesterday and got the same error. I hope it'll solve my problem too.

i found that compiz runs a lot smoother with high cpu load when started with the "--direct-rendering" option.
With that option my desktop background turns black, the windows don't "wobble" anymore and everything is still extremely slow.
I tried a current git checkout from freedesktop.org that support the --use-cow option. That improves performance a lot (and makes compiz actually usable) but I get the same blck desktop problem as mentioned above.

what if you use both cow and direct rendering?

The git version already defaults to direct rendering. When I start compiz from a shell I see a ton of these errors though:
compiz: Couldn't bind redirected window 0x160bd8c to texture compiz: pixmap 0x3e0011e can't be bound to texture compiz: Couldn't bind redirected window 0x160bcd7 to texture compiz: pixmap 0x3e0011c can't be bound to texture compiz: Couldn't bind redirected window 0x160bd8c to texture compiz: pixmap 0x3e0011e can't be bound to texture compiz: Couldn't bind redirected window 0x160bcd7 to texture compiz: pixmap 0x3e0011c can't be bound to texture compiz: Couldn't bind redirected window 0x160bd8c to texture compiz: pixmap 0x3e0011e can't be bound to texture compiz: Couldn't bind redirected window 0x160bcd7 to texture compiz: pixmap 0x3e0011c can't be bound to texture compiz: Couldn't bind redirected window 0x160bd8c to texture compiz: pixmap 0x3e0011e can't be bound to texture compiz: Couldn't bind redirected window 0x160bcd7 to texture compiz: pixmap 0x3e0011c can't be bound to texture compiz: Couldn't bind redirected window 0x160bd8c to texture compiz: pixmap 0x3e0011e can't be bound to texture compiz: Couldn't bind redirected window 0x160bcd7 to texture
Any idea what this could mean?

That just means you're not running gnome-window-decorator.

I was wondering.... The compiz that is in rawhide, has it been compiled so we can use kde-window-decorator? I tried running it and bash came back screaming that it could not find it.
