As Lonni helpfully points out and is very very correct, although
you can get compiz to work with aiglx on FC5, it's much much
simpler if you move over to FC6. Although I did manage to get FC5
working with compiz and AIGLX, it wasn't at all stable for me and
certainly wasn't fun to work on. I highly recommend FC6 for this.

During periods of high activity on my desktop, the mouse seems to
have a bit of trouble tracking. YMMV, but I thought I'd point that
out to you. It does look very good though.
