Hello,
Humm I have a question... I've been trying out many distros in my computer
by LiveCD's and all of them (Mandriva, OpenSUSE, Kubuntu just to give some
examples) are fully compatible with my Intel GMA 3100 card (I can say that
because their KDE Desktops are totally Transparent) But in my Fedora 13 I
can't get a Transparent KDE Even if I enable Kwin effects (Wich make
computer slow btw) and if I wanna run Windows 7 inside VMware player I can't
get Aero working because (as vmware says) The system doesn't have 3D
Graphics support or something like that... Is there a solution for my
problem? Do I have to install something in order to get fedora recognizing
my Graphics card?
Thanks!

I don't know much about this particular chipset, but some Intel graphics
chipsets (poulsbo?) require non-free drivers. These are available from
RPMFusion. Have you investigated that possibility?

Intel x3100 is part of the 965 chipset and certainly not poulsbo.
I'm currently running Fedora 13 (Gnome with compiz enabled) on a laptop with
this chipset, so maybe it's a problem with the KDE windowmanager?

Well, I don't believe it's kde problem because VMware player is not able
to
run aero inside windows seven because the graphics card is not "detected"...
How do I install intel non free drivers from RPM Fusion?
BTW, I can run Kwin effects (something like compiz) but they don't run very
well in fedora, the machine starts to be slow, something that do not happen
in other distros...

As someone else mentioned in the thread, your chipset is not poulsbo,
I don't know whether this is the right solution but nonetheless the
non-free drivers are called xorg-x11-drv-psb. So enabling the
RPMFusion repositories, both free and non-free and then a yum install
should let you install them.

I'm confused, you confirmed those aren't applicable to his chipset but
suggest he use them? Ok...
CMIIW, but wasn't that yanked out before F13?

yanked
So there is no solution? Pff... Well, I think I'll never have good graphics
in fedora... I'm not switching distro :(

I didn't confirm, someone else mentioned so. But as word of mouth
goes, every poster is vulnerable to faltering memory, outdated
information and what not. So I provided the OP a way to try out those
drivers in case he finds the previously mentioned information
inaccurate, and his chipset is indeed a poulsbo chipset after all. I'm
terribly short of time otherwise I would do the research myself and
post whatever I find. Sorry if this caused any confusion.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

The *xorg-x11-drv-psb* package do not exist in my Fedora's repositories, do
I have to add something?
Oh! and today is the Graphics test day for F14 And someone just tested an
Intel GMA x3100 card
with all the tests passed... The GMA x3100 is just the mobile version of my
Graphics card as far as I understand.
Does this means that if I install F14 I'm going to have a Transparent KDE
and Full 3D Graphics support?
Thanks!

I tested with Compiz and Metacity compositing. Both of those worked. So
assuming that Transparent KDE uses the same compositing extensions, it
should be working.
I can't speak to VMWare Player. That may require a different set of 3D
extensions or a particular version of OpenGL support.
It really should be noted that Intel is not the ideal source for 3D
graphics. Intel's graphics chipsets, while solid, tend to be extremely
low-performance in the 3D department when compared to nVidia and AMD
products.
Of course, on the flip side, Intel actually aids in the development of
the free open-source drivers, while nVidia and AMD primarily offer
closed-source-only solutions, leaving the community to guess at the
open-source implementations.
