Which Graphics Card do you have?
Execute this

su -
lspci | grep -i vga

Post output here.

[root@fedora11 ~]# lspci |grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 9200M GS (rev a1)

you will have to install the driver software for the nvida card if you haven't installed already.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M GS (rev a1)

I m on ubuntu and after installing the driver for the above nvidia card my special effects worked fine.

You have to install Nvidia Proprietary Driver.
If your machine has internet access then execute this

su -
yum -y install kmod-nvidia

Reboot machine.
