I'm trying to get desktop effects to work in KDE 4.1.3 (openSUSE 11.1 x86_64) and not having much luck. I'm curious if any of you have have similar hardware and are having any luck.

Anyone willing to take a shot at this?
Sure,
Make sure your /etc/X11/xorg.conf includes the following at the bottom
Section "DRI" Group "video" Mode 0660 EndSection
Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "true" Option "DAMAGE" "true" EndSection
** Also, be aware that ATI broke 3D in the 8-12 driver you installed, but unfortunately, that is all we have until the 9-1 driver is released. Also, performance of the 8-12 driver sucks compared to earlier versions. 8-9 is the last good performer, but that doesn't support 11.1 :-(
I already had the DRI, but not the extensions. I've added them to my xorg.conf. I suppose by 3D you mean hardware acceleration? That would explain why opengl does not work. This seems to happen every time I end up with an ATI video card. I know people rant and rave about how terrible nVidia's Linux support is... and I realize some of what they say is true. But in my experience, nvidia cards just work better with Linux. Maybe I'm the odd man out on this one, I don't know. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
