Hello, Humm I have a question... I've been trying out many distros in my computer by LiveCD's and all of them (Mandriva, OpenSUSE, Kubuntu just to give some examples) are fully compatible with my Intel GMA 3100 card (I can say that because their KDE Desktops are totally Transparent) But in my Fedora 13 I can't get a Transparent KDE Even if I enable Kwin effects (Wich make computer slow btw) and if I wanna run Windows 7 inside VMware player I can't get Aero working because (as vmware says) The system doesn't have 3D Graphics support or something like that... Is there a solution for my problem? Do I have to install something in order to get fedora recognizing my Graphics card?
Thanks!

I don't know much about this particular chipset, but some Intel graphics chipsets (poulsbo?) require non-free drivers. These are available from RPMFusion. Have you investigated that possibility?

Intel x3100 is part of the 965 chipset and certainly not poulsbo.
I'm currently running Fedora 13 (Gnome with compiz enabled) on a laptop with this chipset, so maybe it's a problem with the KDE windowmanager?

Well, I don't believe it's kde problem because VMware player is not able to run aero inside windows seven because the graphics card is not "detected"... How do I install intel non free drivers from RPM Fusion?
BTW, I can run Kwin effects (something like compiz) but they don't run very well in fedora, the machine starts to be slow, something that do not happen in other distros...

As someone else mentioned in the thread, your chipset is not poulsbo, I don't know whether this is the right solution but nonetheless the non-free drivers are called xorg-x11-drv-psb. So enabling the RPMFusion repositories, both free and non-free and then a yum install should let you install them.

I'm confused, you confirmed those aren't applicable to his chipset but suggest he use them? Ok...
CMIIW, but wasn't that yanked out before F13?

yanked
So there is no solution? Pff... Well, I think I'll never have good graphics in fedora... I'm not switching distro :(

I didn't confirm, someone else mentioned so. But as word of mouth goes, every poster is vulnerable to faltering memory, outdated information and what not. So I provided the OP a way to try out those drivers in case he finds the previously mentioned information inaccurate, and his chipset is indeed a poulsbo chipset after all. I'm terribly short of time otherwise I would do the research myself and post whatever I find. Sorry if this caused any confusion.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

The *xorg-x11-drv-psb* package do not exist in my Fedora's repositories, do I have to add something? Oh! and today is the Graphics test day for F14 And someone just tested an Intel GMA x3100 card with all the tests passed... The GMA x3100 is just the mobile version of my Graphics card as far as I understand. Does this means that if I install F14 I'm going to have a Transparent KDE and Full 3D Graphics support?
Thanks!

I tested with Compiz and Metacity compositing. Both of those worked. So assuming that Transparent KDE uses the same compositing extensions, it should be working.
I can't speak to VMWare Player. That may require a different set of 3D extensions or a particular version of OpenGL support.
It really should be noted that Intel is not the ideal source for 3D graphics. Intel's graphics chipsets, while solid, tend to be extremely low-performance in the 3D department when compared to nVidia and AMD products.
Of course, on the flip side, Intel actually aids in the development of the free open-source drivers, while nVidia and AMD primarily offer closed-source-only solutions, leaving the community to guess at the open-source implementations.
