3d Support On I945gm And Opensuse10.2

Hi guys. My laptop is an Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo si1520. It's video card is an Intel945gm. On this machine i have installed both opensuse 10.2 and 10.3. Now it happens that on the 10.2, the video card is regognized as having 3d support, so i can use Compiz, while on the 10.3 this option is disabled, and no use of Compiz. I tried to reverse back to the old driver, but again, no 3d. Do you know some way to re-enable 3d, or some way to 'copy' the driver of the 10.2 on the 10.3? It's very disappointing because i think that upgrading to me means having better support! And it is also disappointing that recent distros like Mandriva2007, Ubuntu 7.10 and PcLinuxOs2007 have full support to this chip... Thanks a lot for reading

Hi Crisciotti
I'm sorry I can't help you but probably you could help me.

I have the same laptop with opensuse 10.2 (my previous experiences, advice me, to wait before upgrade ;-))
but on my configuration I'm not able to make 3d working in opuensuse 10.2 too.
A second drawback is that unlike under windowz I'm not able to switch from local LFP to DFP during a session.
I have to chose the monitor at the start up so I can't switch during the session to the other monitor.

Would you exchange information about your driver and xorg configuration file?
Thank you in advance

Hi. I'm sorry but i have no experience about Lfp and dfp but googling a bit i found that it can be a question of video bios/system settings. For the rest sax configures the video card out of the box so you only need to install Compiz from the suse dvd. Now i'm using my cellphone so i can't post my xorg.conf file but for sure i'll make tomorrow. Back here. This is my xorg config file
