I have installed the plugins for compiz fusion and itself. I dont know
exactly what I need to be able to start running this. I have a graphics
card good enough, x1600. DO I have to get XGL or is that dead? Im
using GNOME. DO I have to enable desktop effects? Because last time I
did that, before installing ATI drivers, I got the white screen of
death, so Im not going to try that just yet.

Just curios, when I went to desktop effects it says my
hardware/configuration does not support it. Why is this?
Do I have to download XGL or is it already in the system? I have also
tried simple-ccsm (i pressed alt+ctrl+f4 to get into the root, is that
correct?) and nothing happened.

Hi
The only thing you need to do is get the latest driver for your card
working first with 3D etc. Have you got that far yet?
Once that is done, with compiz installed you just enable the
desktop effects with simple-ccsm. No xgl switching etc is required
anymore.

I followed this step
Code:
If you want or need to use the latest and greatest ATI driver, continue here .
Use
YaST -> Software -> Change installation Source -> Add
Protocol: http
Server Name: : www2.ati.com
Directory on Server: suse/11.1
to add the ATI http server as additional installation source.
Now use
YaST -> Software -> Install and Delete Software
to install the ATI/fglrx driver. Select the following packages:
x11-video-fglrxG01
Use “sax2 -r” for X.Org configuration.
It worked. SHould I be all set? when I try and enable desktop effects
it says my hardware/config is not supported.
