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
compiz-quinn is no longer maintained, you should use compiz-git or beryl packages or the 'official' compiz-cvs packages. You can install beryl and compiz togather and use beryl-manager to switch between those.
I have been doing the installs via smart. I have held off going to beryl until I sorted out my current issues and also sorted out the best way to transition from compiz to beryl.
As to my original post, seems that if you install the nvidia driver via smart, the link from nvidia_drv.so to nv_drv.so is made. Effectively removing the NVIDIA supplied driver, but still letting you specify 'nvidia' in the X config without generating an error. Don't know why.
Trying to be "smart", but who is at fault. The configuration program (sax) or postinstall script in the rpm that you tried to install. Do you have any reference to location of package that you tried to install with smart?
When I installed the driver direct, all became happy again. Compiz and all parts are running smoothly again.
