Like Thaslan I'm satisfied with my nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]
and I see this working perfectly without any difficulties after an installation standard Nvidia driver from nvidia.com site with Novell SLED 10

With Fedora Core 6 (test 3)x86_64, I spent 2 days:
-> with first finding a driver nvidia wich can compile with the kernel 2.6.18 of FC6, and the only one is the experimental from freshrpms site:
nvidia-x11-drv-1.0.9626-1.x86_64.rpm
-> then when compiz is lauched from Desktop-Effects applet or by hands
the OpenGL rotation is there, but there is no decoration to move or resize windows !!!!!!!!!!!

I tried to skip aiglx, and install xorg-x11-server-Xgl from source like in fedora core 5 but the difference of package source is too much with FC6 !
So currently compiz is NOT USABLE with my nvidia card
