Everything "works". I can log into GNOME, and 3D effects are enabled, and the display is perfect. Except I have no window manager (windows are not decorated and I can't switch windows). If I run "metacity &" in a gnome-terminal then I can operate but all the windows have a semi-transparent border around them (although geometry seems to be working correctly). I assume this is because the compiz window manager component isn't starting? "gtk-window-decorator" is running, as is "compiz" and "compiz-manager". Any suggestions? Run the following as root to get compiz 0.8.4 zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_11.2/ X11:XGL zypper ref zypper up -t package -r X11:XGL

Done that. Restarting X still does not start a window manager. And 3D effects have now been completely disabled. Attempting to run the utility simple-ccsm in order to enable 3D fails with a Python stack trace and hangs: awilliam@linux-m3mt:~/.gconfd> simple-ccsm /usr/bin/simple-ccsm:40: DeprecationWarning: Use the new widget gtk.Tooltip Tooltips = gtk.Tooltips() /usr/bin/simple-ccsm:182: DeprecationWarning: Use the new widget gtk.Tooltip Tooltips = gtk.Tooltips() /usr/bin/simple-ccsm:426: DeprecationWarning: Use the new widget gtk.Tooltip Tooltips.set_tip(self, _("Disabled")) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/simple-ccsm", line 1385, in <module> mainWin = MainWin(context, page) File "/usr/bin/simple-ccsm", line 1181, in __init__ self.Update() File "/usr/bin/simple-ccsm", line 1206, in Update self.AnimationPage.Update() File "/usr/bin/simple-ccsm", line 693, in Update self.FillAnimationBoxes() File "/usr/bin/simple-ccsm", line 677, in FillAnimationBoxes info = setting.Info[1] IndexError: tuple index out of range I've deleted .gconf/apps/compiz and .compiz and tried again with the same result.
