Just deleted the -git installation and went for 0.5.2 from X11:XGL. All OK except that ccsm doesn't allow me to choose anything apart from the defaults. All the options are greyed out. I cannot check the check boxes. I have all the plugins I can find installed via yast. What am I missing?

Try and start compiz with 'compiz --replace ccp' and have correct backend selected in ccsm (Flat-file).

Compiz as well as ccsm has to be run as user, not root.

Been there, done that. Still get the xorg.0.log has the following line after adding the option "allow-glx-with-composite" "enabled" option "render-accel" "enabled" option "add-argb-glx-visuals" "enabled" Under screens (WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "allow-glx-with-composite" is not used (WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "render-accel" is not used (WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "add-argb-glx-visuals" is not used Supposedly the compiz: Trying '/usr/$LIB/libIndirectGL.so.1' ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/$LIB/libIndirectGL.so.1' from LD_PRELOAD was supposed to be cured by the option "Composite" "Enable" line under extensions in xorg.conf. It does not. Uninstalled and installed again, no change. added xgl, and updated mesa to 7.0 something. no change. Uninstalled and tried installing from X!! repository. Comes up with no installable source for compiz. Try smart with X11 repository, emerald wants gconf-2. No installable source again. Think I will give up for awhile. Maybe things will get straightened out in the next week or so. Guess this is what you really call dependence hell.

yep. No problem. It fires up just fine.

How do I do that? searching for 'backend' in ccsm gives me no results. could you be a little more precise please?

It seems some of the mirrors are not synced yet, you should have version greater than or equal to 0.5.2: rpm -qa | grep compiz compiz-fusion-plugins-main-0.5.2-7.1 python-compizconfig-0.5.2-4.2 compiz-gnome-0.5.2-17.1 libcompizconfig-0.5.2-5.2 compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported-0.5.2-2.4 compiz-0.5.2-17.1 libcompizconfig-backend-kconfig-0.5.2-2.3 compizconfig-settings-manager-0.5.2-6.3 compiz-kde-0.5.2-17.1 compiz-fusion-plugins-extra-0.5.2-6.4 The above is for Factory, for 10.2 check : http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XGL/ Cheers -J -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Did that, if I do it from the command line, the compiz --replace ccp & then starts, but how do I get the emerald --replace ccp & to go then. destop locks up and can do nothing.

I follow the following instructions

To make it auto start do the following: open a terminal touch ~/.kde/Autostart/startcompiz.sh kate ~/.kde/Autostart/startcompiz.sh

Paste the following in your text editor: #! /bin/sh compiz –replace ccp & emerald –replace ccp &

Save it.. and close it

back at termial type:

chmod +x ~/.kde/Autostart/startcompiz.sh

of course replacing the - with -- (BTW, the copy past also deletes the space before the -)

Restarting X does nothing. Strange thing was that Kate opens the file when coming back into X.

Here is the startcompiz.sh kfile #! /bin/sh compiz --replace ccp & emerald --replace ccp &

Any furthr suggestions.

Art

But then you always get Compiz. Why not in a working kwin session do alt+f2 and type compiz –replace ccp & Run Alt+f1 login killall compiz Alt+f7 login in again Alt+f2 emerald --replace & Run Reboot (there's probably a neater way but this works) Login Now do alt+f2 and pull down the drop menu. Choose: compiz –replace ccp & _Now_ hit Run. Wait until you have no window decorations. Now hit alt+f2 again, pull down the drop menu. Choose: emerald --replace & Look very carefully where I've put ccp and where you put ccp. hth Lynn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

OK. I removed every reference to comiz, compiz git and deleted xgl using yast. Just to make sure I turned xgl off (even though I'd never used it.) and rebooted.
