[nflug] OSX Like Desktop Switcher

[wpos2 at adelphia.net]

I can't get mine to work.  I have FC4 too with GNOME (64 bit tho).  The 
actual RPM is 3ddesktop-0.2.8-1.2.fc4.rf.x86_64.rpm, and I got it from 
pbone.net.  When I attempt to run 3ddesk, I get

Attempting to start 3ddesktop server.
3ddeskd: glXIsDirect failed, no Direct Rendering possible!
3ddeskd: Please configure hardware acceleration.  Exiting.
Daemon started.  Run 3ddesk to activate.
Server not found after waiting 5 seconds.
Could not find server.
Try starting manually (3ddeskd)

so, playing dumb, I try 3ddeskd, with the following results:

3ddeskd: glXIsDirect failed, no Direct Rendering possible!
3ddeskd: Please configure hardware acceleration.  Exiting.
Daemon started.  Run 3ddesk to activate.

In both cases, the display momentarily flashes to black and returns to 
what (it seems) it was before.  What's missing?  How do I configure 
hardware acceleration?  Or should I be running this other than thru a 
console command?  I don't see any links in the start (?) menu.

I have a ATI Radion 9550 (ATI brand, not just chipset, so 256 MB), using 
the 9600 driver.  I have the screen configured for 1024 x 768 (really a 
function of monitor geometry as I recall, and not central to vid card). 
  Otherwise, I don't ever recall downloading a driver for this or making 
any changes to xorg.conf or any such.  This is where I figure I must 
start, so could someone out there throw me a line?
