Hello friends…
im new to Linux and Opensuse 11.1 is the first linux distribution i
ever installed. This distro is gr8t. I really love this. Since
installation, im trying to enable the compiz in KDE4 but failed. I
have a Amd x2 3600+ and a Nvidia 9500GT graphics. I followed the guide
listed in this website but no use. I installed the graphic card drivers
succesfully. then followed this ‘Compiz Fusion - openSUSE’
(http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz_Fusion)
While trying the checklist, i always get the msg that composite is
disabled no matter what i do. I dont have a net connection so i cannot
use the one click install.
i tried the instructions here and got a msg that composite is enabled.
su -
nvidia-xconfig --composite
nvidia-xconfig --render-accel
nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24
and when i try running this as mentioned here ‘Compiz Fusion -
openSUSE’ (http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz_Fusion)
i get msg that composite is disabled.
You do NOT need to install it they way have. Compiz is already installed
and effects are enabled via the Config Desktop - Desktop - enable
desktop effects
all effects
But i already did that previously and nothing is happening. Are there
any shortcut keys for enbling that Cube effect? How should i trigger
that? I enabled all effects and nothings happening actually.

What compositing type are you using It is under configure desktop
effects-advance. Mine if I chose xrender effects works except for the
cube zoom and rotate.Cube zoom and rotate works using opengl for me. I
am using intel graphics right now but on another machine I have nvidia
gforce7300gt that works the same as intel. Check it out it might be the
missing link.

I thought the problem is with KDE and i reinstalled Gnome again. Now i
installed the drivers succesfully. In the control center, i selected
DESKTOP Effects and when checking “Enable Desktop Effects” its saying
that they are not supported under my current configuration. and after
enabling everything and closing, it is automatically reverting back and
unchecking the enable effects tab. What should i do?
