Enabling Desktop effects on Fedora 11 (running on VMware)
August 19th, 2013
I’ve been using Fedora 11 (as it is used for my coding classes, for regular work, i use windows only ) for some days. I tried to look into how to enable those eye-pleasing effects which fedora or linux offers…
But i’m not able to use them at all.
HP dv6-6115tx
Config:
i5-2.3GHz
8GB DDR3
1GB HD
AMD Radeon HD 6490M – 1GB DDR5 graphic card.
I’ve turned on 3d graphic acceleration.
Is there any way i can have those effects ?
cuz, when i try to turn them on, it says “Desktop effects could not be enabled.”
I believe the effects you are referring to is called Compiz Fusion. You have to download, install, enable, and adjust its’ settings.
