no desktop effects

Intel Atom Dual Core D525 @ 1.80GHz, 1,0GB RAM, Intel Graphics Media Accelator 3150

I have opensuse 11.4 KDE along with window 7 and Ubuntu installed, this graphics card runs the windows aero themes and Ubuntu’s unity and compiz very well but fails to run the desktop effects on opensuse, every-time I login Kwin displays a message desktop effects are temporally disabled.
is this a bug?
I haven’t installed the updates yet, I cant right now due to slow internet, will updates fix the problem?

I dont have intel card, but this smells like a driver problem. Try fix driver by updating it, or compiling it from source.

what command can I use to check which Intel graphic driver is in use?
lshw doesn’t work on opensuse.

Vendor: Intel Corporation
Model: Pineview Integrated Graphics Controller
2D driver: intel
3D driver: Unknown classic (7.10)

driver=i915, same driver ubuntu is using but 3D not working in opensuse

Output of ~/.xsession-errors please.

Hi. I have the same problem (I don’t see any message when logging in but it says desktop effects are temporary disabled in Configure Desktop). I use opensuse 11.4 64bit and updated it to kde 4.6.2.
I have a Dell XPS laptop, with Intel GPU (which linux sees) and nVidia GPU. Linux can see the intel gpu because my laptop has nvidia optimus technology that linux has no driver for. but I have installed nvidia drivers because I hat to use CUDA, but specified not to change x config (in that case i would see no display because of optimus). by looking at that file I guess opengl has some problems with my configuration. here’s xsession-errors, I removed many of it’s line because of space limitation. other lines look similar to these or are from other applications.
