My monitor is connected to my NVidia GeForce 7600GT AGP via DVI interface. My questions are: [1] What packages do I need to install to fully work the NVidia GLX? That means, I prefer to use the proprietary NVidia driver for my PC. Currently, it's using VESA. [2] How will I set the screen to 1440x900 mode? Currently, it's using 1024x768 mode. [3] How will I convert my Gnome desktop to a 3D environment? That means, my Gnome environment will run with Compiz+Fusion. Thank you in advance. GNUbie
