It is not a surprise for me that GUI effects do not work for me.
Martin K is right that my ATI9800SE card is the problem. I killed
the OpenSuse 10.3 partition since it could not boot after I tried to
enable visual effects. ;-(

FC7 is better. It hangs but reboot fix the problem. Ubuntu 7.10 is
the best. It tells me that visual effects can not be started. So it
passed my test. Right now the problem is that no mirror works
for me. I just want to get some development packages
like /autoxxxx/cvs/svn/libusb-devel/swig/etc but one of them are
available. I think I would have to wait.

Ok so much for Ubuntu 7.10. I will now reboot to 6.06.
