Composite desktop effects and login errors in SuSE 11.1.

Saying hi!

I’m new with my SuSE 11.1. and:

  • I tried to set up the Composite desktop effects (the box switch and others) but it tells me that my system does not support them because I don’t have XComposite nand XDamage but these are not available on the default repositories,so where can I find them?

Regardless the graphic hardware, I guess that it shouldn’t be a problem because the OS actually recognized the graphic card according to YaST… actually there’s a check box marked to enable 3d acceleration.

What’s wrong then?

  • I used to have an user called “bassy” besides “root” but I decided that I was going to be “root” all the time so I deleted “bassy” but now, after the OS boots it tells me that there’s no user named “bassy”.

    How can I do to tell the system that it should go straight to the name and password selection?

Thanks! :wink:

Some information is missing: What video card to you have? The command

/sbin/lspci

will tell us. Cut and past the Video card line. If you have an ATI or NVIDIA, you will need to get ATI or NVIDIA drivers. There are other pages with HOWTO.
