Desktop Effects

Because when launch a game program (Lbreakout2; Ltris, Torcs, …) in Opensuse 11.3 M 7, the composition “Desktop Effects” is automatically set as “Disabled” and the vision of game is not fluid?

This is my configuration:

hwinfo --gfx

Driver Info #0:

Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown

If the problem is the video card driver, when in repository a new driver x-11-fglrx ( that in version for 11.2 is perfect) to test in the new 11.3 version?
Thanks

Hope someone else (with ATI grahic) will answer as well.

Do not know much about ATI drivers but maybe you test also the newest compiz programms from factory (or from X11/compiz) and try to fiddle around with the configuration in the (bigger) compiz setting manager (“compizconfig-settings-manager : Compiz Config and Settings tool (CCSM)”).
In my case (problems with desktop effects and intel 915 graphic) it helped, see: Access Denied

Good luck
