Compiz issues.
by Roger Oberholtzer 26 Oct '06

26 Oct '06

I am running Compiz on SUSE 10.1. I had it working fine. Then, an update (a month or two ago) destroyed it. I have now installed the current version, and all I can say is that it is 10 times slower. Really bad. This is with an NVIDIA GeForce 6400. I an using Xgl as the server. I run it under KDE. I suspect the settings are all funny. I have whatever the defaults are. Anyone else have this happen? I have these packages: kicker-compiz-060918-3.1 gset-compiz-0.3.4-20.3 compiz-manager-060917-3.8 compiz-quinncvs_060920-4.2 xorg-x11-driver-video-nvidia-6.9.0-46.15 nvidia-gfx-kmp-default-1.0.8762_2.6.16.21_0.8-1 tiny-nvidia-installer-1.0.7-14 x11-video-nvidia-1.0.8762-1 xgl-cvs_060729-23.3 Re the nvidia driver, I have, of course, specified 'nvidia' in the X configuration. But, I see that the nvidia_drv.so module is a pointer to the nv_drv.so driver. Perhaps this is the way it is now? So, my X log in /var/log no longer says vendor="NVIDIA Corporation" when the driver (/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so) is loaded. It now says vendor="X.Org Foundation". This seems wrong. Finally, when I run Xgl, it always seems to be a child process of Xorg. I did not expect Xorg to run at all. I have followed the Xgl installation instructions and made /var/X11R6/bin/X a pointer to Xgl instead of Xorg. And I changed it in /etc/sysconfig/desktopmanager. Did I miss something? -- Roger Oberholtzer

Is skype truly peer-to-peer, or does it require an intermediate server to handle the communication? I have used speakfreely in the past and it is a true p2p system that handles encryption. Fred

CLVM?
by Marlier, Ian 25 Oct '06

25 Oct '06

Does clvmd (the clustering tools that work with LVM2) come prepackaged for SuSE (10.1, preferably)...? I can't seem to figure out where they might be hiding...

Is it correct that Opensuse does not install on an ASUS A8V-MX with VIA VT8251 South Bridge chipset. When I install Opensuse the SATA drive is not recognized. What can I do to correct this?

[SLE] Slow 3D with NVidia.
by John D Lamb 25 Oct '06

Curiously I have a similar issue. I get fairly slow framecount unless I log in as root. Then I get about 20 times the number of frames per second.

Samba Connection Vanish
by Lívio Cipriano 25 Oct '06

25 Oct '06

Hi all, I've 3 machines : one with w* XP, another with SuSE 10.1 and another with SuSE 9.2. The machine with SuSE 9.2 is, also, a samba server. Everything was working fine : all machines could see, read and write in my w* XP machine and SuSE 9.2 and, today, I have already done some transfers from w* to SuSe 10.1. Suddenly none of my Linux machines can see, read or write on my w* XP machine, but the w* XP can do it in my SuSE 9.2 with the samba server. Any ideas? -- Regards, Lívio Cipriano
