openSUSE 11.3 x86
NVIDIA 8500GT (Latest driver from the repo)
As the title suggests, I get this notification when opening desktop effects in Gnome, but only in Gnome. I can though enable effects and they work perfectly.
In kde no notification and effects work, though I have reported a issue there in this thread: New 11.3 install, video playback brief freeze (Desktop effects issue)

I have no explanation for it, but I have also seen this at the weekend when
I enabled effects in compiz (gnome desktop) on my notebook with os 11.3 64
bit. I have the nvidia 256.35 driver (and it is really in effect as I can
see with glxinfo) and a quadro fx 3600M graphics card.
But luckily everything works without any problems including the desktop
effects.
I have the same problem with my 8440p notebook.
I get:
Failed to enable desktop effects using the given configuration options. Settings will be reverted to their previous state.
Check your X configuration You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the composting type.
It has Intel video and Arrandale integrated graphic controller installed.
Computer info reveals 3 accel not enabled.
xorg -configure won’t run either - crashed on fbdev
Working this one in another thread - here

That may be the difference, I for example run without the xorg.conf. It
works like a charm, maybe the gnome compiz manager checks something in
xorg.conf can not find it and reports this warning, though the warning makes
no sense since it works.
Your problem is not really the same as mine or @martin_helm as we have working drivers and full 3D function.
I see in your thread @oldcpu is going thru the md5sum check. The easiest way to check the functionality of burned media is from the menu when you boot the cd/dvd @malcolmlewis (EDIT) sorry @martin_helm
No xorg.conf for me
