I'm running Fedora 9 Beta i686.
When I attempt to enable desktop effects (System --> Preferences --->
Look & Feel ---> Desktop Effects). The box to enable them pops up, I
click "Enable Desktop Effects". The screen blanks out and is totally
white. It then returns after I hit the escape key (it took a bit to
figure that out) and I'm back to the "enable" box again.
At that point I just clicked "close".
No desktop effects.
$ sudo /sbin/lspci | grep nVidia

That card has 256MB of RAM. I've had no trouble with Compiz recently in
Betas of Mandriva or Ubuntu.
Is this a bug or a feature? ;)
Well Nvidia's proprietary driver won't work the latest Xorg in rawhide.
I consider that a feature ;-) Without that, you can't enable Compiz.
Besides, IIRC one of the Compiz maintainers said that the current
version is busted and there is a version bump in an update.
