I have a NVIDIA gf4 card. I have tried nearly every installation possible to get compiz working.
I have installed OS 11.0 64-bit and my system says the Nvidia card is installed and 3d effects are enabled.
Here is the major problem. When I click on ccsm, it appears broken. The mouse pointer will change like the program is loading but then nothing happens. The same thing when I try to open compiz settings.
However, emerald opens when I click on it, but I cannot use any of the decorator themes.
If I type in compiz --replace, the borders disappear.
I have a similar problem in suse 64 bit too, even though my card is an nvidia 7300 gt.
I have installed the drivers and gave the commands indicated in the wiki to have composite the native way.
If i try to enable desktop effects from the little application made by suse the window borders disappear and often everything freezes.
If i try to launch fusion-icon, it will not start and it is installed.
Nothing happens even if compiz is selected as the window manager from the kde (using kde 3.5.10) control center.
