Default Re: Steps to install Compiz
Ah, Gnome, I've used KDE throughout my whole linux experience. Have you tried installing it with the one click installer here?

Compiz Fusion - openSUSE

Also doesn't Gnome have compiz-fusion installed by default?

Take Care,

Ian

I think it is installed by default. Not sure if that's the case from the CD.

Maybe all you need is to do this from su terminal:
Code:
xgl-switch --enable-xgl

Question Re: Steps to install Compiz
Thanks for your sooner replies.

After installed some packages I found two new options about Compiz.

"CompizConfig" and "Desktop Effects" at Utilities section.

I can set up some options in CommpizConfig but I need to activate it.

For what I read I can activate Compiz using Desktop Effects though when I click over Desktop Effects it doesn't show up anything.

I am not sure if Desktop Effects is well installed.

Any ideas/comments/suggests will be welcome.

Thanks

I typed and this was what I got.


linux:/home/lunavf/Desktop # xgl-switch --enable-xgl

Warning! MD5DIR is not set: you probably called this script outside SuSEconfig...!
Using MD5DIR="/var/adm/SuSEconfig/md5"...
No changes for /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers
No changes for /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config

Thanks in advance

Question Re: Steps to install Compiz
Hi yall,

My Desktop Effects doesn't work yet.

I tried this

HTML Code:
linux:/home/lunavf/Desktop # compiz --replace glib gconf
compiz: Trying '/usr/$LIB/libIndirectGL.so.1'
After a few seconds my display changed. I can do some 3D Cube effects with Ctrl+Alt+Down but thats all.

I ve been playing with CompizConfig Settings Manager and no matter what option I chose it doesnt work.

I believe my Nvidia is working fine ... though GXL it doesnt work.

Any ideas/comments/suggestions would be welcome...

Thanks in advance,
