Fedora 13 TC, nouveau-dri: compiz with Gnome, not with KDE

Tue May 4 08:34:17 UTC 2010

Hi there:

I tested the Fedora 13 TC live images for Gnome and KDE with
mesa-dri-drivers-experimental on an Nvidia Quadro NVS140M
(http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_f6255243-d01d-4bd3-b9bc-50356f57ff9c).

KMS works nicely, glxinfo confirms dri with nouveau/gallium.

With the Gnome spin, desktop effects (shadows, cube, wobbling) work
flawlessly.

With the KDE spin, desktop effects (OpenGL) can't be enabled unless
forced (disable feature detection), and then X hangs.

I know what "experimental" means, but I'm wondering if others experience
the same or that should be reported.
