How do you enable the translucency, I have gone into the Control Center under Desktop > Window Behavior and enabled it there, but what else needs to be done, because that apparently does not do it.

I guess you are trying to get the Xorg Composite extension to work, which needs to be done in /etc/X11/xorg.conf in addition to the KDE settings. Note: A 3D accelerated graphics card is highly recommended + Composite might be quite broken ;)

Anyway, add

Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection

Yeah, this does not work at all, I wonder if Nvidia has a specific setting for this?

to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, restart your X- server and log into KDE.

[snip] Actually it does... NVidia driver disables "glx" by default when you enable composite. To enable it add ... Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true". ... to the nvidia device config in xorg.conf (beware that this is very unstable - I've experienced so many problems in high resolution/high color modes, that I've decided not to use translucency - but I have to admit it looks really cool :) ) Good luck Dmitry

In adition to this, you must install a program called "transset ", which is part of SUSE 10.0...please do not ask me(cause I do not know exactly) which version(boxed , eval, OSS, or my two DVD own SUSE distro, made fron the ftp, java and extra repos mixed together...jejeje :)

If I get it right, you won't need that package, because KDE implements its own composite / transparency manager, that takes care of the thinks transset change/trigger ;) Regards Christoph
