running, however, I can confirm there is no way to make the emerald themes work. Let us know if we can send logs, etc....
Please guide Chris how you managed to get it working on x86_64.
Regarding emerald, follow the http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz_Troubleshooting and little bit of experimentation.

Chris, Here is how i got 0.7.8 working. However, I was never able to get emerald themes to work. (1) Uninstall compiz from the command line: sudo rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep compiz) $(rpm -qa | grep ccsm) fusion-icon or as root, just: rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep compiz) $(rpm -qa | grep ccsm) fusion-icon (2) If enabled in yast -> software management, _disable_ the X11:/XGL repository and _enable_ the X11:/Compiz repository. (3) Log out and log back in (just to restart kdm) (4) Got to yast -> software management; Search 'compiz'; install: compiz compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-emerald compiz-emerald-themes compiz-fusion-kde compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-kde compiz-manager libcompizconfig python-compizconfig (5) Yast - user management; create new user, doesn't matter what name 'testuser' works fine; (6) logout & log back in as 'testuser' (7) open konsole and issue the command: compiz-manager --replace & (8) once compiz starts, configure it with compizconfig-settings-manager the way you like it. Once set, then open konsole and as root or with sudo: cp -a /home/testuser/.xcompmgrrc /home/youruser && \ cp -a /home/testuser/.config/compiz /home/youruser/.config (9) logout of testuser and log in as you. compiz should now work as you. (compiz-manager --replace &) If you find out how to get emerald to work, then call me. None of the troubleshooting stuff works. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

I have emerald working on one machine, and not on another, will investigate more and let you know if i find out something. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Great!, Thanks.
Here is what I found out about emerald: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431846 Most likely emerald would be dropped in future releases. For now I'll prepare git snapshot packages without nomad patches in home:cyberorg later this week.
