I installed SUSE 11.0 on laptop, with GNOME.
I enabled desktop effect, but it change to disable when close desktop effect window. How to fix it? I can’t use 3d cube because of it.
-graphic set : ATI X1250
for me ati drivers could not work good… i have not really many experience with it… but in most cases i try it not work…
did you use proprietary drivers? did they properly work?
Hi & welcome,
As didencool already states, you will need to install the proprietary ATI drivers to get 3D acceleration. Without 3D support Desktop effects won’t work.
Have a look here on how to do so: ATI - openSUSE
Good luck!

That manual is a bit confusing, maybe for a 1st timer as I was long before.
I find this steps maybe easier.
-
download driver from ati site
-
open terminal, type “su” and your administrator password. It is easier this way and all steps below will be done in terminal
-
go where you downloaded the driver. if it is packed with .gz or .bz2 then unpack it. If it is just with .run extension do:
chmod a+x ati… -
go to directory where you downloaded/unpacked driver and type ./ati-…
this will install driver
reboot
- as root type: sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx
kill your X server (with ctrl+alt+ 2 times backspace)
that is it…
