New install of OpenSUSE 11.1 64bit on Intel Core2Duo E8400 and with
Geforce 8800. Compiz seemed to work initially. For some reason it
quits and prints the following error to the system log:
compiz[3578]: segfault at 579a ip 00007fecb4f27820 sp 00007fffc5e0cd80
error 4 in libdecoration.so[7fecb4f24000+6000]
This seems to happen at random intervals. I can go back and restart it
from the “Desktop Effects” menu, but if it happens when it’s performing
an animation it sort of freezes X and I have to reset my system, though
the cursor is still responsive and anything else going on seems to
continue going on (for instance music keeps playing). I really like my
eyecandy, so any help would be appreciated.

I found out that if I disconect my Internet connection I have less
problems with it.
I use a ATI card: ATI Technologies Inc M71 [Mobility Radeon X2100]
Your graphic card driver might not be set up properly - thats why you
get the segfault error.
For a better experience of Compiz Fusion I strongly recommend to use
the right NVIDIA drivers.
You might want to consider uninstalling your current drivers and follow
the exact instructions from ‘Compiz - openSUSE’
(http://en.opensuse.org/compiz)
i also get the same error… it happens to me ONLY when im using any
openoffice applications (which i use a lot) and it makes it practically
unusable with compiz… tried to submit a bug report but got no
answer…
I recently updated compiz packages and still got same problem… to be
honest I dont know where to start looking to get more information about
the problem
