Lonnie, been there.. first it starts off with assumptions that I have
already done so and so and I'm not sure that I have. A step by step is
really better, for idiots and dear ole Mum. <grins> My fear is that I'll
do something half-baked and wind up with a locked machine or something
equally dreadful.

compiz & beryl are beta software at best, so you're playing with fire
by running them under the bet of circumstances.  If you're concerned
about a locked machine, then you shouldn't even be touching this
stuff.

If you're not clear on the instructions in that nvnews post, then you
should ask on nvnews where the nvidia+compiz experts hang out.

caveats in the past against doing so, should I instead try livna and
yum? I don't want to grab packages willy-nilly and jam them in with a

I don't, but that's just me.

shoehorn and curses. I have to live with this machine and I'd hate to be
deprived of my one addiction. (OK, make it second addiction) I want the
result of this major upgrade to be forever yum upgradable and "approved"
meaning I can get some form of relief should it blowup anyway.
And! ...shown how to do eet stepper by stepper, just like a harddrive
thinks. Thanks for all the work over there at nVidia Lonnie!!! But,
James made some very basic assumptions that this user would be where he
is, technologically speaking, and that ain't the case. Ric

What isn't the case?
