+ <para>This tool lets you manage the 3D desktop effects on your operating

+ <title>Getting Started</title>
+
+ <para>To use this tool, you need to have the glxinfo package installed. If
+ the package is not installed, you will be prompted to do so before drak3d
+ can start.</para>
+
+ <para>After starting drak3d, you will be presented with a menu window.
+ Here you can choose either <guilabel>No 3D Desktop Effects</guilabel> or
+ <guilabel>Compiz Fusion</guilabel>. Compiz Fusion is part of a
+ composite/window manager, which includes hardware-accelerated special
+ effects for your desktop. Choose <guilabel>Compiz Fusion</guilabel>
+ to turn it on.</para>
+
+ <para>If this is your first time using this program after a clean
+ installation of Mageia, you will get a warning message telling you which
+ packages need to be installed in order to use Compiz Fusion. Click on the
+ <guibutton>Ok</guibutton> button to continue.</para>

+
+ <para>Once the appropriate packages are installed, you will notice that
+ Compiz Fusion is selected in the drak3d menu, but you must log out and log
+ back in for the changes to take effect.</para>
+
+ <para>After logging back in, Compiz Fusion will be activated. To configure
+ Compiz Fusion, see the page for the ccsm (CompizConfig Settings Manager)
+ tool.</para>

+ <title>Can't See Desktop after Logging in</title>
+
+ <para>If after turning on Compiz Fusion you attempt to log back into
+ your desktop but can't see anything, restart your computer to get back
+ to the log in screen. Once there, click on the Desktop icon and select
+ drak3d.</para>

+ <para>When you log in, if your account is listed as an administrator,
+ you will be prompted for your password again. Otherwise, use the
+ administrator login with his/her account. Then you can undo any changes
+ that may have caused the log in problem.</para>
