i was installing xgl to my laptop. it has ATI X700 VGA.
i followed the following steps which is given in this site.
http://fedoraxgl.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Installation_en

Install Fedora Xgl Repository: # rpm -Uvh
http://fedoraxgl.tuxfamily.org/repository/fedora-xgl-repository-1.0-3.noarch.rpm

Import GPG Key # rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-AL-CAPCOM

Install Xgl and Compiz packages:# yum --enablerepo=fedora-xgl install compiz
xorg-x11-server-Xgl---------------------------------------------
Result of this Command: Package xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386.rpm is
not signed Installation Failed :(

May try cd /var/cache/yum/fedora-xgl/packages rpm -ivh * (actually may need
to rpm -ivh one by one...)


Just to get you by change in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-xgl.repo gpgcheck=1 to
gpgcheck=0

Run the yum command above again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
so exactly the above happend. so i yumed each package seperatly with -ivh.

But while installing xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386.rpm the following
occurred.

[root at localhost packages]# rpm -ivh xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libglitz-glx.so.1 is needed by xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386
        libglitz.so.1 is needed by xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386

when i google theres s no such package available. Instead wut i got
downloaded to my machine is
(by running this command # yum --enablerepo=fedora-xgl install compiz
xorg-x11-server-Xgl)

glitz-0.5.6-3.fc5.i386.rpm
glitz-glx-0.5.6-3.fc5.i386.rpm
libsvg-0.1.4-4.fc5.i386.rpm
libsvg-cairo-0.1.6-3.fc5.i386.rpm
------------------------
Any how i managed continue with the packages which got downloaded to my
machine.

now when i type
$ gnome-xgl-info
-----------------------------------------------------------
This is wut i should get...
This command must return, it's like that:

   G ATI Technologies
   1 kmod-nvidia is installed for the kernel release 1.2111_FC5
   1 -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv


Explanation the return of gnome-xgl-info:

   - *First line is:*

   CardStatus [CardName]
   where CardStatus is: G(ood), B(ad), S(low), or U(nknown)


   - *Second line is:*

 3DStatus [Missing or installed Packages]
 where 3DStatus is 0 or 1


   - *Third line is:*

   XglStatus [RecommendedOptions]
   where XglStatus is 0 or 1 and RecommendedOptions is set if the
hardware is detected as compatible.

----------------------------------------------------------------

But the results shows this

cat: /etc/sysconfig/xgl/status: No such file or directory
G ATI Technologies
0 kmod-fglrx is not installed for the kernel release 1.2054_FC5
0 -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:pbuffer

Any idea how to proceed to the next stage from hear :(
