A brief note on this--I've got FC6 installed and I was able to use the 
desktop effects with my old ATI card (Radeon 9200 SE) and the free 
software driver that FC6's x.org uses.  I'm using an old dual CPU 
machine (2 500MHz Pentium IIIs on an ASUS P2B-D).

There are a number of drawbacks to the desktop effects I see.
Some things don't work as well as they should, and desktop effects seems 
to require a great deal of CPU power when doing any of the effects; the 
system as a whole feels more sluggish when I use it.  But it does work 
without the proprietary ATI driver.  I can get the jist of what desktop 
effects are all about.

Is there a free NVidia driver in x.org?  If so, would it work well 
enough to try desktop effects?

Thanks.
