Thanks for the info Ted, and to the rest of you for trying. I did the suggested rm -rf /home/yourusername/.config/compiz* and there was no change. There really wasn't much in the /home/bob/.config/compiz/compizconfig/config except "[kde_session] profile =" I've also done the ctrl +alt+ right/left arrow which will rotate the screen. Still don't get a cube. I also did the following which was suggested and this is what I got. Easystreet:/ # gnome-xgl-settings --disable xgl bash: gnome-xgl-settings: command not found Easystreet:/ # Now, Ted, I don't get a "ribbon" as you state. My display is full screen. I do get a "ribbon" (about 1/3 screen height) horizontally across the center of the screen which displays the other apps which would be open on the cube when I do a ctrl+alt+down arrow and will remain as long as I hold down the ctrl+alt keys. Then I can continue holding the ctrl+alt and do a left or right arrow and the focus of the center app will change. Think there could be a problem with the 100.14.19 driver? Anybody using that with success?

Hello SuSE experimentors,
Trying out compiz-fusion on 10.3 using the nvidia drivers but doesn't seem to be working right.
I don't get a cube. The screen rotates when I click on another desktop which brings up the application that is open on that desktop so something is working. I also don't get my four enabled desktops, only #1 and #3 and they both have the same desktop picture.
Also sometimes when I open up a new app I don't get any window decorations (max, min, close) and I have to run emerald again.
Hope somebody has ideas/advice. I'd like to try it out but not much good the way it is.

you must be sure you are usung the native NVIDIA driver for 3D instead of xgl, run the following as root in the console:
gnome-xgl-settings --disable-xgl
that will obviously disable xgl (If enabled), then run (always as root):
nvidia-xconfig --composite --allow-glx-with-composite --render-accel --add-argb-glx-visuals
That's it... you have the native NVIDIA driver running and compiz enabled, now you can run the CCSM and in the command line within the window decorations plugin, you can run your favorite window decorator, mine is set to emerald --replace &
Hi Fernando,
Thanks for your interest. I had done all of that already, but I redid what you wrote just to make sure. No change except that emerald works now.
I played a lot with the kde settings and ccsm and finally have my four desktops back. But !!! still no cube ! Double checked everything about the cube in ccsm and it seems to be set up correctly. I must be missing something. Any other thoughts/insight would be welcome.

Ok, I am going to start from the beginning so bare with me since I didn't really read everything else that was done. First off do: ps -ae | grep xgl Is XGL Running? rpm -qa | grep xgl Is it installed? rpm -qa | grep compiz Report to us what Compiz Packages you have installed. rpm -qa | grep nvidia So we know what Nvidia driver you are running. What Nvidia chipset do you have? You will not be able to run gnome-xgl-settings since it is now a part of compiz-gnome and not compiz (as it was previously).

Hmmm...maybe uninstall the libcompizconfig-backend-gconf-0.5.2_git070824-23 Thanks Ben, Hope that helps. Like Ted says, I get all of the effects but no cube. And yes, I have configured and reconfigured the cube settings over and over in ccsm. Same result.
