I've installed LMDE and really enjoy the distro as it is, but coming from Fedora 14 I've been using the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental provided by nouveau. I can't find it for debian and want to use compiz on my system, so my question is how can I install 3D support using this driver? I have a Nvidia graphic card, but working on a LMDE remix for my family and friends, so want to use a graphic driver that works with all graphic cards and can provide 3D support.

Maybe that helps? When I go to system - preference I can't find where to enable desktop effects. Is this feature removed from LMDE? Usually it's in appearance - desktop effects.
Edit: Found this thread viewtopic.php?f=141&t=55165 and followed the instructions. Got a dark screen on login and compiz still doesnt work. How can I go back to default graphic settings? I can live without compiz for now, just want a working, stable Linux system for once.
