Hello, i am new at linux. I was trying to get the desktop effects to work, but i only get a white screen. can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?
Maybe a little more info on subject? I'm guessing you were trying to install graphics driver for ATI, am I right?
nope i just wanted to see the wobbly windows and the cube effects, so i enabled them, and when i pressed the enable button the screen went white. It acts like there is a background and everything still behind the white screen, all i see is the mouse and the white screen.
which linux distribution, desktop manager(gnome or kde), graphics card are you using? did you install binary driver package or used open source?
I am using linux fedora 10, and gnome is the desktop i believe, and i got a fx5500 video card. i haven't done anything with the drivers, I did it as soon as i installed linux. Is there a way to boot in a "safe mode" or make a new user account?
haven't used fedora in a long time. lets see... boot system then press ctrl+alt+F1 then log in. type su root and then your root password. after that you will remove effects with Code: yum remove compiz this is if you can live without the effects you can try reinstalling them later. sorry about delay. I was away last week.
