Hi there,

How can I permanently disable the desktop effects in KDE? Whenever I log back in to KDE they’re enabled again and i don’t want them, they’re very unstable on my system.
I have tried setting “[Compositing] Enabled=false” in ~/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc but that didn’t seem to help. That’s not it…what else then, anyone?

Thanks!
Ron

Did you try to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf? Look for a line that says

Option "Composite" "on"

change “on” to “off”, save the file, then logout from your X session.
After login you should have compiz disabled.

Hey Adriandeltabala,

I don’t have a Composite option in my xorg.conf.
When I do a “grep Composite /etc/X11/*” I get this:


/etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia-post:  Option       "Composite" "off"
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.saxsave:  Option       "Composite" "on"
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup:  for ext in VGA DVI-I DVI-D DVI-A Composite S-Video Component LFP Proprietary ; do

I don’t think /etc/X11/xorg.conf.saxsave is good for anything - is it? I have not tried changing it tho…but /etc/X11/xorg.conf is AFAIK the only file that’s read by X11…

Could you try to append this lines to you xorg.conf file?
