Compiz-Fusion on Fedora 9
Ok, so you have Fedora 9 up and running but now you want all those cool Compiz Effects. Ill show you how!
First off install the Livna repository, It will have your graphics card drivers. (At the time of writing they only have the Nvidia Drivers for Fedora 9, ATI should be out soon) Download and install the RPM http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/
Now install your video card driver.
Now you want to restart X to start using the new driver. You can ether reboot or press <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Backspace> (Warning: this will log you out immediately.)
From here you can click on System > Preferences > Look and Feel > Desktop Effects and enable them and it should work. But that is just Compiz, not Compiz Fusion.
If you want Compiz Fusion disable the built in Compiz and install these
Now that you have them all installed open up System > Preferences > Look and Feel > CompizConfig Settings Manager and Click on Preferences And make sure that "GConf Configuration Backend" is selected. This tells Compiz to use the Gnome window manager.
Now we need to tell Fedora to use Compiz-Fusion instead of just Compiz when it boots up. With your Text editor of choice open up /usr/bin/gnome-wm
Look for where it says "gconf" and replace it with "ccp" (no quotes). For me it was on line 129 and looked like this:
Now Reboot for the changed on the config file to take affect. Once you have rebooted go back to System > Preferences > Look and Feel > Desktop Effects and Enable the desktop effects, enable the wobbley windows and the desktop cube. They should take affect immediately. And now you can go to System > Preferences > Look and Feel > CompizConfig Settings Manager and enable/disable/change any settings you want. Again the changes will take affect immediately.
You are now done!
