[opensuse-factory] Compiz openSUSE 11.0 Beta 5 anyone working with Nvidia driver?
Hey folks, I just wanted to see if the problem was with compiz, or with my nvidia driver ( i haven't yet tried the nv driver) have gotten compiz from the oss repository working on their box.. None of my compiz decorations start, and none of the compiz features actually work. I just want to see if it's a bigger problem then I expected.

Ben, Just think how you would react to a message such as yours when you first read it: which version of Beta5 X is running- 32- or 64-bit version; which nVidia drive is X using?; which nVidia card is X using?; what is the hardware X using? Just a few key details will always help in having people provide an answer. When asking for help, reverse the situation: what would YOU want to know in order to answer the query?

Ben, I am using compiz on 11.1 Beta5 with the nvidia driver on an 8800GT. Other than the ksnapshot snafu, everything else works fine until the black screen of death appears. All cube/cylinder/sphere/scale/app switcher/etc.. with Emerald decorations. I'm starting compiz with compiz-manager: 20:45 arete~> cat bin/ccpstart #!/bin/bash compiz-manager --ignore-desktop-hints --sm-disable --indirect-rendering --replace & exit 0 Since nobody built fusion-icon for 11.1 I think that's what we are stuck with. The packages in 11.1 Beta 5 or from X11:/Compiz are the same. (Damn I miss that handy little icon...) -- David C.

Really one of my overall problems is that the GLX option will NOT stay. Everytime I click it, it jus unchecks. This option is not in the Compiz without nomad. /usr/lib/compiz/libglx.so exists so why isn't GLX working?

That frustrating problem with the check boxes clearing hasn't bitten me thus far on 11.1. The last time it did, I think the procedure was to: cd ~/.config mv compiz compiz.sav and start trying again. I know I must have had 3 or 4 different 0.7.8 installs on 11.0 that did that to me. There isn't any true "this solved it answer" I would blow away the complete compiz install and re-install from XGL and try - still no luck. I would mv ~/.config/compiz - same result. They I would do the same thing and it would work. So I always got it fixed, but it was pure trial and error. The good thing was that once I got it fixed, it would stay fixed until the next compiz update. What does compiz say then you start it in an xterm from the command line with compiz-manager --replace or with compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --indirect-rendering & -- David C.

Ben, Sorry, I lied! Emerald does NOT work at all either in KDE4 or KDE3. We are right back to where we were with the first 0.7.8 update in the X11:/XGL and X11:/Compiz that killed emerald. I loaded my emerald themes in ~/.emerald and after I did that, when I execute emerald --replace, You could see the theme and decorations flash on the window borders for a split second and then all decorations disappeared. The only way to revive them was with a kwin --replace, but in KDE -- all terminal input is killed when the decor crashes, so I had to make a menu entry of a small bash script to get me out. Bummer. Same happens in KDE4 except I still have terminal input after the decor crash. Why is this causing us so much trouble? -- David C.

In /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the Section "Extensions" set Option "Composite" to "on" (from "off").
