[SOLVED] While booting two fedora options are available !

**pradeeprajkumar** · 06-09-2010

Hi,
I'm using fedora 13(x86_64 bit).
recently I updated the OS,
now,while booting my system,
there comes two options to boot the fedora OS(both are working properly).
Why it happened ?
how to make it into a single option ?
&
how to set attractive desktop effects to my desktop ?
(like window distortion effect and transparent effects to menus and windows).

Fedora updater has installed a new kernel and you have two kernel versions now. If everything is working fine with new kernel, you can remove other kernel easily.
Open Terminal and execute this

Code:

su -
rpm -qa |grep kernel

Remove earlier kernel :

Code:

rpm -e <correct kernel version>

how to set attractive desktop effects to my desktop ?
(like window distortion effect and transparent effects to menus and windows).

Which Graphics Card do you have?
Post the output of this

Code:

lspci | grep -i vga

[pradeep@localhost ~]$ lspci | grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 10)

This is the output for that command....

Intel 82G33/G31 doesn't support Graphics effects. What happens when you try to enable Graphics Effects in System - Preferences - Window Theme?

**pradeeprajkumar** · 06-09-2010

yeah Intel 82G33/G31 supports graphic effects.

but,actually i'm eager to know how to give some special effects in addition to that ordinary windows wobbling and cube effect.
like transparent windows and distortion of windows when closed.
how to configure, to get these effects ?

I haven't used Desktop effects for a long time. Have you installed emerald-themes?

**pradeeprajkumar** · 06-10-2010

emerald theme manager is not getting installed for me...
so i was not able to install the emerald themes.

do i need the graphic card mandatorily to use this feature ?
and is that advisable to install the intel graphics media accelerator software in linux ?(for better video graphic effects)

There is no need to install Driver for Intel card because native driver works fine.
Post the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file here.

**pradeeprajkumar** · 06-12-2010

[pradeep@localhost ~]$ /etc/x11/xorg.conf
bash: /etc/x11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory
[pradeep@localhost ~]$
