This tool, accessible from the
Hardware section of Mandriva Linux Control Center, lets you
configure the “3D desktop” for stunning visual effects
on your desktop, together with a change from a flat desktop to a
cubic one.
Procedure 8.1. Activate the 3D Desktop
The first time you run Drak3D a few required packages may be installed; then you are presented with its main window (see Figure 8.5, “Activating 3D Desktop Effects”).
Select the Full 3D desktop effects (compiz) option to enable the 3D desktop. There are two approaches: AIGLX and Xgl, Drak3D selects the most appropriate one for you according to your hardware.
Click to fully customize every single aspect of the 3D desktop support, a new window appears for you to set all parameters to your liking.
Once you are satisfied with your settings, apply them by clicking ; they take effect the next time you enter your graphical session.
Disable 3D. Select the No 3D desktop effects option to disable the 3D desktop completely, and return to your “flat” desktop.
