Linux Lord Zhopudey Vs Linux: Round 6a (Mandriva)

[zhopudey]

Ok, I installed mandriva, and got a funny problem. All windows stick to the top the screen, and I can't minimize or maximize them, or move them around, or switch between apps. :ashamed:

go to configuration thing or the similar that mandriva comes wid.

there is option for 3D effects.

turn off compiz/ or any other effects manager.

had similar prob n i thnk that what i had done

effects will work fine if u enable them after installing gfx drivers

incase screen goes blank n u have no resque option...just reboot n at loginscreen... select some other desktop manager...i dont remember which all are there bt selecting desktop manager other than gnome/kde will give u an option to reset 3D settings.

switch back to ur fav desktop manager when u r done wid it.

Thanks! Turning off the 3D effects solved the problem. Now the battle wages onwards...
