J, which repository should I pull from? I have tried pulling from one, then the other but I am still stuck? 11.1B5 has X11:/Compiz/openSUSE_Factory/ enabled by default, but I get the error when I have pulled exclusively from that repo too. I'll go triple check again, but IIRC pulling from that repo doesn't work. Is that the wrong place entirely?
Use the packages that come with 11.1 B5, they are same as the ones in X11:Compiz.
Cheers

J,
Started with a clean slate and used the one-click to install:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Compiz/openSUSE_Factory/comp iz-fusion-kde4.ymp
Compiz started and configures fine and has great performance:
http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/
But crashes every time ksnapshot is closed (quit) or every time the screensaver starts. When it crashes, the desktop goes black, but some of compiz continues to run.
Let me explain: When the screen goes black, you might see a little white square or two where a piece of a window used to be, but everything else is black. Input is dead. (you can't alt+F2 kwin --replace & in the blind and fix it)
The second time it happened, on a whim, I ctrl+alt+left-mouse'd the desktop and low-and-behold, the cube was still active, with the cube caps in perfect color, but I was looking at a 4-sided cube with all the sides black as night. Very strange, because the deformation had been set and functioning as a cylinder. (see screenshot above) Cube performance was just fine on rotation, etc..
ctrl+alt+backspace (twice) and I was back at the login. KDE4 started just fine and then I started compiz again and -- the cylinder deformation was back to normal. Then I took the screenshot above and again on exiting ksnapshot, whamo back-n-black again. Let me know if you want additional tests. Also, I'm not posting to compiz or bugging it, so this is the only feedback you'll get.
(PS -- I don't guess there is any way to just show the desktop folder on desktop 1 is there?) I guess that's just another reason to nuke the desktop folder.
David, I already put in a report for this bug. It seems to be something with the NOMAD patch as the compiz rpm's in XGL do _NOT_ have the same behavior (I didn't actually pull down the sourec for the 2 and check the spec's to see what is built against the 2, but my guess is that NOMAD patch is Compiz and non NOMAD in XGL is the only difference. You'll probably get a crash with closing krdc also. Ben -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
