getting xgl working

Hi all,

I'm trying to get xgl running on my suse 10.0 dell laptop ... I know that
xgl is for 10.1 but from what I'vr been reading it can be done ... I tried
the korra live cd so I know my hardware works, I have a nvidia 4200 go
video card. I've followed the directions from opensuse.org but to no
avail. I'm using kde. I have everything installed and I have chaned
my /opt/kde/share/config/kdm/kdmrc file to use Xgl as the x server but
after re-starting x I get the no composite extension error. So I rebooted
to make sure the xserver gets re-started still no joy. So I tried changing
sysconfig display manager set to xgl and rebooted. I've tried multiple
combinations of each file but always get the no composite error. The suse
site says to set my display setting accordingly but I don't know what they
mean by this so now I'm hitting all the support sites.

Any Ideas ???????

did you edit /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager
and /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc ?
I have replaced in both files Xorg with Xgl...

Thanks I figured it out shortly after posting this ... I was
editing /opt/kde3/share/ .... not /ect/opt .... I guess I need to read a
little closer next time ... but the part that really got me was that I
tried and read those instructions at least 10 times and still didn't catch
my error ... other than that I can't wait till there is a config editor for
kde ....

Uh Xgl doesn't work with KDE (kwin) yet...
I think only compiz right now.

Though it certainly should work somewhat as a general X replacement.
