Hi all,
I’m having trouble installing Compiz via the one-click-install.
I have tried the one-click for KDE and for KDE4, but I continually get these errors:
nothing provides libplasma.so.1()(64bit) needed by compiz-kde4-0.7.8-9.1.x86_64
nothing provides python < 2.6 needed by compizconfig-settings-manager-0.7.8-2.4.x86_64
I am running a fresh install of OpenSuse 11.1 64 bit version on an ASUS F8VA.
Be gentle - I’m not used to either KDE or rpm files… or Compiz for that matter. 
You don’t actually need to use any OneClick install - Compiz is installed natively in kde4.
Config Desktop - Desktop - Desktop Effects
enable
All effects section to adjust settings
use kwin as window manager (in session manager)
Hey caf, thanks the reply mate!
That was actually the first thing I tried, but i get this error message pop up when I tick the “Enable desktop effects box” and then press apply:
Failed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options. Settings will be reverted to their previous values.
Check your X configuration. You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the compositing type.
So I did what the message says and it all seemed peachy to me, then I tried to update it with the one-click…
Did I do more damage?..
Alright - It turns out that the seocnd monitor I have plugged in was causing the effects not to turn on. It’s disabled now and the effects say that they’re on, but nothing fancy happens… ever.
I turned on the explosion effect when windows close… nothing.
Is there somewhere else I need to turn 3D acceleration on…?
Also - Kwin is my window manager, but I didn’t have to change it (i even tried setting it to compiz, but still nothing).
Your not the only one. I am having the same problem. I choose compiz as my default window manager and it isnt doing anything.
Yes I have, quite thoroughly.
It seems like all 3D acceleration is disabled, despite it being set to enabled. When i scroll through web pages in any of the browsers, it’s very slow and choppy, as is shrinking windows.
Also worth mentioning is that fgl_glxgears and fglrxinfo return the following:
X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
Serial number of failed request: 14
Current serial number in output stream: 14
???
Sorry to be irritating - bump!
It could be that your graphics is just not going to manage this: What exactly do you have in that regard?
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
FYI to others:

Make sure you have effects for desktop switching set to cube
