In kde4 just enable desktop effects in the Configure Desktop
not sure in gnome
kde3
use control center
session manager
change window manager to compiz
or you can install fusion icon and start it from there

not really… i mean in kde4 if you just enable desktop effects it will
NOT use compiz as default windows manager.
You may also need to go to Configure Desktop-Default
Applications-Window Manager and choose Compiz. If you dont do that you
will use KWin effects NOT Compiz effects which is a little different.

You may add comfiz-fusion in the systemsettings autostart to start it as
soon as you login.

Compiz is kinda built in you just need to enable the desktop effects in
Configure Desktop and adjust settings there as required

To set up compiz as the default you go to kickoff>configure
desktop>default applications>window manager tab>use different window
manager>compiz>configure>apply
I personally cant use compiz because it freaks out my tablet. Anyone
have any ideas why that is? I have an acer c301.

There is no need to employ compiz as the WM in kde4. Keep kwin and
enable desktop effects in Config Desktop.
If you update kde4 to Factory 4.2 you will love it.

I am curious, if I go to the YAST>Software> search for compiz, can I
uncheck all the compiz checked items and still have the 3d effects work?
I am new to all this and am not clear on if some of the compiz program
works in conjunction with KDE4, etc. I would like to shut off any of the
crap I dont need. Plus as I mentioned in my previous reply, when I
enabled compiz it screwed up my system. I had to shut it off. But I am
unsure if I can uncheck the compiz stuff in the software settings.
Thanks,
Jeff

Having Compiz effects under kwin is not the same as making it your WM.
If you have installed Compiz (like the OneClick method) you will have
probably have this repo in your list
‘Index of /repositories/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_11.1’
(http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_11.1/)
You don’t need to delete it and it’s probably best you don’t - unless
you are confident you know what you are doing.
Just switch to kwin for your WM, enable desktop effects from config
desktop.

Thanks for the reply. I dont really know what I am doing…lol. So
unless someone can give me the details I will take your advice. The
thing is I intermittently have issues using some of the 3D effects. They
freeze up at times. Mostly the cube wont spin. I am under the assumption
that seeing as I have 512 MB of RAM right now, I am over taxing the
resources availaibe on my tablet. So my thought was to shut off anything
I dont need…
I killed the beagle program, and checked the Kerry files, they werent
turned on. Then I updated the repositories through the Yast>software,
etc. So now I am just trying to think of other tweaks that may free up
some ram. I will be upgrading to 2 GB of RAM in a week or so, I am sure
that will help this old turd handle the 3D better, but until then I want
to shut off any services that I dont need. how does one find out what
programs i dont need?? Also, what is the reason I cant use the sphere or
cylinder and some other 3D effects? is that something that has to be
supported with your graphics card specifically or what?
Thanks again!
Jeff
PS-this whole linux thing is addictive! I got my tablet pen to work
last night…I need more stuff to do…lol

well to be honest with only 512
you are better without effects.
I just added 2GB to my lap - only £16 UK

I know…but I just started playing with linux, and Suse 11.1 so I
NEEDED to play with the 3D…As I said I will be upgrading to 2GB soon.
Is the low RAM what is making the other effects not work then?
Take care,
Jeff

If I just enable desktop effects… nothing happens. If I pick compiz
as my WM, I get wobbly windows etc… but on reboot I loose my window
borders and all applications are full screen.
Is there something I am missing to get “the wobbly windows” and keep
Kwin?
Using 9800 GT and have the nVidia drivers installed (get the nVidia
logo on boot)

i have the same problem when I use Compiz. Plus my system seems to
crash. So I just went into the KDE desktop configuration, clicked on
enable 3d, then went to the effects tab and clicked on wobbly windows
and Cube. It works for me…good luck.
