FYI, Bob, I see exactly the same "cube-less" behaviour. This is on a new Dell Latitude 830 running openSUSE 10.3, with compiz and emerald apparently functioning OK under Xorg 7.2 using an NVidia Quadro NVS 140M card with the native NVidia driver (100.14.19). All the compiz plugins appear to work, e.g., the wobbly windows, etc., and I can get the viewports to scroll using the cube functions (Ctrl-Alt-Down, Ctrl-Alt-Right, Ctrl-Alt-Left). However my cube, like yours, appears as a flat, left-right scrollable ribbon and definitely does not appear in 3D as per the demo videos. I've yet to figure out why, but at least you can assure yourself that you're not seeing things. ;-)
If anyone has any more suggestions, please continue to share them. Thanx.

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.
