Did you install from Factory, or have you tried installing from the UNSTABLE 11 branch? Installing from Factory can always be a bit iffy in my experience.
What video card do you have? Has compiz worked for you previously?
You may also want to read the release notes on KDE4 and enabling compositing.
Yes I installed from Factory.
Nvidia as per my sig - never had any problems
Compiz works fine and had been doing with 4.0.4
Though I am slightly confussed over AIGLX and XGL
As far as I am aware I am using XGL
Yet here: AIGLX - openSUSE
It says AIGLX is enabled by default in suse 11
Then there is info about switching XGL on or off
Which should I be using?
