Hi all,
I’m a Suse 11.2 gnome user.
Cairo was working fine for me then randomly I see a huge black box behind it. I also cannot access my desktop effects along with it to activate compiz.
I googled here and on the net trying different commands such as
:~> xgl-switch --enable-xgl
If ‘xgl-switch’ is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf xgl-switch
&
thinking my xorg held the answer I ran
grep Composite /var/log/Xorg.0.log
but nothing came of that it just went to the next terminal prompt
tried running desktop effects from terminal and got
/usr/bin/simple-ccsm:40: DeprecationWarning: Use the new widget gtk.Tooltip
Tooltips = gtk.Tooltips()
/usr/bin/simple-ccsm:182: DeprecationWarning: Use the new widget gtk.Tooltip
Tooltips = gtk.Tooltips()
/usr/bin/simple-ccsm:426: DeprecationWarning: Use the new widget gtk.Tooltip
Tooltips.set_tip(self, _(“Disabled”))

KeyError: ‘zoom_in_button’
It didn’t launch.
I found another code to access to xorg and I think this might be the issue

Its running fglrx shouldn’t that be xgl?
if I remove the fglrx would that switch the xgl? I also have all my radeon/ati drivers installed.
I’m assuming the problems are linked b/c when compiz was working I had no black box behind cairo.
Can someone please point me in the direction needed to resolve these issues? I’m not skilled in command line and I’m just trying codes I find relating to the problem but with no success.
Thank you in advance.
