After I yum install compiz, and upon enabling the desktop effect, I
got the following error in dmesg:

compiz[9197]: segfault at 378e22ec10 ip 000000378e22ec10 sp
00007fff7d35fc88 error 14 in libICE.so.6.3.0[3790200000+17000]


Can someone help me out?

My machine:

/var/log/Xorg.0.log does not seem to have problem:

Not sure what else is needed.   Does the graphic card support 3D?   Or
the effect I choosed (like Wobbly windows, desktop cube, rotate cube)
required 3D?

I have another x86 32bit FC10 Dell laptop with these features all running well.

Any Ideas?
