Installing Compiz-Fusion in Fedora 9

First we need to install the Livna repo rpm so we have access to the video card drivers for ATI and Nvidia.
If you have an Intel card you don't need to do anything, you should be able to run compiz-fusion without
installing or changing any video drivers.

Installing the Livna repo rpm:
]# rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-9.rpm

Installing your Nvidia drivers:
]# yum install kmod-nvidia

Installing your ATI drivers:
]# yum install kmod-fglrx
(note: as of writing this howto, ATI drivers are not yet available for Fedora 9)

]# yum install compiz-fusion compiz-manager compiz-fusion-extras compiz-fusion-extras-gnome gnome-compiz-manager 
libcompizconfig compiz-fusion-gnome ccsm compizconfig-backend-gconf

Logout via the GNOME menu system and re-login or, cntl+alt+backspace.

In the GNOME menu: System > Preferences > Look and Feel > CompizConfig Settings Manager
Click on "Preferences" and make sure that "GConf Configuration Backend" is selected. 
This tells Compiz-Fusion to use the GNOME window manager.

]# sed -i 's/^OPT4=gconf/OPT4=ccp/' /usr/bin/gnome-wm

(this should replace the line "OPT4=gconf" in the file: /usr/bin/gnome-wm to: "OPT4=ccp")

To test: ]# cat /usr/bin/gnome-wm | grep -i OPT4=ccp
OPT4=ccp

Alternatively, you can directly edit the file with nano or vi:

vi /usr/bin/gnome-wm
use "i" to insert, then "esc" and :wq to "write" and "quit" vi.

nano /usr/bin/gnome-wm
navigate with the arrow keys and use cntl+X, Y, enter to exit the editor.

Once you have rebooted, go back to: System > Preferences > Look and Feel > Desktop Effects and Enable the
desktop effects. Enable the desired effects: "Windows Wobble When Moved" and "Workspaces on a cube". They should
take affect immediately. Now you can go to System > Preferences > Look and Feel > Compiz Config Settings Manager
and fine tune your settings. The changes should take affect immediately.
