So the relevant information would be: What graphics card do you use? What driver? Did these effects work with another version of the driver and/or KDE? If yes, you should report this upstream. If not, there is probably a (good) reason why these effects get disabled for you. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I am also unable to activate the relevant effects on my system running 11.4, with an Nvidia card and the official Nvidia binary drivers. It does not appear to be a card or driver-specific problem. I was able to activate the relevant effects in 11.2 without issue (not sure about 11.3). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
