enable compiz

How do I enable compiz in 11.1? I have it installed including the ccm
manager and add-ons. Also have a video card that can handle it. Now
how to I tell it to turn on? There is no option to enable it that I can
atleast see.

Hi
Not sure what DE you using in Gnome it’s in the control center. Else
from the CLI, run;


simple-ccsm

Tip: If you install an application and aren’t sure what’s required to
start it, or where it is. Login to YaST software management and search
for your installed application. Then if you click on the ‘File List’
tab it shows all the installed files :slight_smile:

I have use effects enabled but they dont work. I have it all installed
and enabled just for some reason its not kicking in and working. I have
a nvidia 8600 gt with nvidias drivers from yast. Is there something I
have to add to a config to make it work?

Anyone know how to enable Compiz in KDE 3.5? I can seem to find any
plain instructions. I finally got the ATI drivers working, and I wanted
to verify that desktop effects are working well before installing KDE
4.2 (KDE4 is really missing something without some effects! ;))

I posted this question before and got the following response:

> Go to kcontrol → KDE Components → Default Applications → change
> default window manager from Kwin to Compiz, restart KDE (logout, login
> back)

However, there is no “Default Applications” in Kcontrol.
