Hi … Need help in installing compiz…

I m using dell 1555 - intel core 2 duo, 4gb ram, 512mb ati mobility raedon hd 4570. Open suse 11.2.

tried to add ati repository… I am getting Wrong Digest

Any advice if I am wrong or missed anywhere?

It looks like you are using KDE as your desktop and KDE already has compositing support built in. You just have to go into Configure Desktop to turn it on, if the ATI drivers are installed correctly. Don’t install Compiz.
