Compiz and KDE 3.5.10 on opensuse 11.1 64-bit is giving me conniptions. NVidia GeForce 9800 GT, with NVidia's own driver package. If I use the available packages from repo X11:Compiz for 11.1, upon starting compiz I get no window decorations at all. But worse, nothing will accept input from the keyboard; and there are other effects. To all intents and purposes the desktop is unusable and I haven't been able to find a solution. Backlevelling to the 11.1 packages for compiz from X11:XGL is more successful, but difficulties remain. I've been able to get compiz to autostart successfully by using a symlink to fusion-icon in ~/.kde/Autostart. A manual start as “compiz --replace ccp” also works. But only after a fashion. Whatever method I use to call compiz, as it starts I get a SIGSEGV (signal 11) message saying kde-window-decorator has crashed (I have the backtrace, but won't bother you with it here). If I close the message the desktop still comes up with all compiz effects apparently unaffected, window decorations included. But then if I open certain apps I get the SIGSEGV again, whereupon all window decorations disappear from all windows, and to get them back I need to use “Reload Window Manager” in compiz-icon, (or compiz --replace ccp). This doesn't happen with all apps, but it certainly does with Akregator and Kwallet (so far). The SIGSEGV message on desktop startup is repeatable every time, without exception. The one triggered by Akregator and Kwallet happens only on the first invocation in a session – subsequent invocations during the same session don't repeat the behaviour. Clearly this isn't what is supposed to happen. I had compiz-fusion working flawlessly on this same machine under 10.3 and 11.0 (non-NOMAD and minus emerald in the latter case), so all of this stuttering in 11.1 is getting to be a pain. I've uninstalled and reinstalled compiz and related components, but to no avail. KDE4 is no better. Before I go and file a bug, has anyone else seen anything like this? And if so, is there a known cure? Or even a suggestion? R -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
