<title>Introduction</title>
<para>This tool<footnote>
<para>You can start this tool from the command line, by typing <emphasis
role="bold">drak3d</emphasis> as root.</para>

default.</para>

<section annotations="center">
<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>

<section>
<title>Troubleshooting</title>
<section>
<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>
