How to Run 3D Desktop on Ubuntu

Ubuntu offers a facility that can make the desktop more beautiful sight, namely the 3D Desktop. Desktop 3D facility is similar to features in Windows Vista AERO.

To run this feature, on Ubuntu you can choose the menu System > Preferences > Appereance

After that you can select the Visual Effects tab. Within that tab there are 3 options, namely:
 - None - No Desktop Effects (3D Desktop)
 - Normal - Run Desktop Effects with simple effects
 - Extra - Run Desktop Effects with full effect

Please select according to your computer capabilities. If the option can be selected, then the 3D Desktop can already active.

However, if it appears a message that Desktop Effects could not be in the switch, then you need to check whether your video card is adequate to use this feature. At least 64MB of memory on the VGA has been there. If not, you are required to buy a better VGA card. If you have an NVIDIA or ATI graphics card, you need to install the driver first. Please refer to the website of the hardware vendor.
