I have an ATI Radeon 9600 XT card. I’m sure this is good enough for
desktop effects to be enabled on. Anyway I have installed the driver
from the ATI website for linux. Now every time I try and enable desktop
effects it just gives me the message:
Desktop effects are not supported on your current hardware /
configuration. Would you like to activate them anyway?
I press yes but it just doesn’t enable it. I upgraded compiz. I used
the 11.1 1-click thing. It all worked perfectly in 11.0 … I don’t
understand what the problem is…
since 11.1 it has been giving me that message… Does anybody else have
this problem?
Any ways to resolve it?
Many thanks!

I get the same message on this setup: nVidia Corporation, GeForce 6200.
Driver: nvidia (3D-support, x11-video-nvidiaG02 177.82-1.1,
nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default 177.82_2.6.27.7_9.1-1.1).
Suspect it’s the driver. There are some other ones to try…
I also had that problem after I’d installed the graphics card driver
(nVidia). What I did was to set the profile to medium, and it’s worked
without hassle. Give it a go.

Hiya, Thanks for the suggestion but it didn’t work.
Compiz showed up on the list of updates today. So I updated it. It
seems desktop effects turn on now. They stay on, but just don’t work.
There are 0 effects actually working.
Perhaps its a bug they are working on…

I definitely am using that repo.

I think your right because google earth just doesn’t work and the
catalyst control center is a bit messed up in the 3d section.
I can’t really see much happening on the ATI opensuse page… Do you
think we need to wait for a fix?

Bummer :-/
– Desktop: Linux 2.6.25.18-0.2 x86_64 | OS 11.0 | KDE 3.5 | Nvidia 7950
GT | Intel Core2 Duo 6600 2.4ghz | 4GB RAM Laptop: IBM X31 | OS Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy | Pentium M | 1GB RAM
I have the same problem, using KDE 3.5.10 release 20.11 and Intel 965G
graphics card.
Everything was working great on SuSE 11.0, I think was a big mistake
the update to 11.1 too many bugs. Nothing work

I feel your pain!
I was really excited to update, It seems like we all made the same
mistake!
I don’t even think I can watch videos properly, they are so laggy and
unwatchable… It must be a driver problem like the guys said.

I’ll tell you what richyf89…
I fix the compiz problem here:
‘Compiz Fusion - openSUSE’ (http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz_Fusion)
for the version 11.1
Now emerald is the pain, I don’t have window frames. GRRR !!!
I saw several people with same problems here in the forums with
emerald. Just we have to continue fixing this big mess.
BTY, about multimedia well another nightmare for me, after the update
all my multimedia programs were deleted, smplayer, VLC, realplayer, XMMS
even the codecs. Now I have to reinstall each one of them.
This update 11.1 killed my weekend.
>:(
