Problems configuring Kwin or Compiz - freezings

Hello guys, I’m having problems to configure both. I have a Radeon HD3200 and whenever I try to turn on the effects, the computer freezes and I need to log on safe mode. So I want to know who experienced the same thing. I even tried to reinstall drivers, opengl, xgl, nothing worked.

I would like to solve this problem, I liked so mutch opensuse. That’s the only distro which made me think of life outside FreeBSD for a desktop.

Did you install the proprietary 3D drivers?

I have a Radeon HD3450 on my laptop and it works well with openSUSE-11.1 and KDE-4.3.4 with the proprietary ATI graphic drivers. I decided not to update this laptop (at least not for now) to openSUSE-11.2.

What version openSUSE are you running? When you stated you tried to reinstall drivers, what drivers are you referring to and what method did you employ when trying to re-install drivers.

OK, I did a search on your handle … it appears you are using openSUSE-11.2. I note a thread here: KDE freezes while trying to use kwin effects - freeze - openSUSE Forums

… some users tried to help you on that thread, and you just ignored them ! :frowning:

I totally forgot to take a look on this thread. I thought that I would receive emails for a signed thread and I haven’t, so I thought my thread was ignored. I feel very sorry for this. And yes, my version is 11.2.

I will try out the suggestions. Thank you very mutch!
