For some reason, I can’t get compiz fusion desktop effects to work. I have an ATI Radeon X1650 card with 512 MB. I installed the ATI driver fglrx as listed in the ATI 1-click install wiki on here (ATI - openSUSE). The install wasn’t pretty, but I think it was successful since Sax2 detects my video card correctly and since I passed all the tests in the ‘testing your 3D’ wiki (ATI/Testing - openSUSE). I have 3D acceleration enabled in Sax2. I opened the CCSM editor and enabled several effects but none of them work after rebooting the computer. I’ve posted a copy of my xorg.conf file if that would be of help.
Many thanks to anybody that has advice for me.
