I have replaced my ATI card (that was no longer supported in the ATI driver) with an NVIDIA 9400 GT. I was sort of hoping that the Compiz stuff would begin to work. But no joy. I do now get the XVideo stuff, which I did not get with the ATI card, and is the official reason for the upgrade.
It might be something simple. Take a look at your xorg.conf at the Extensions section and make sure that Composite is set to on. It's generally set to off by default (for some reason I cannot remember)... and if it's off, Compiz won't work at all.
Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "on" EndSection
It is. There is also a suggestion in one of the SUSE wiki pages on how to check that it is on. I do not remember the test, but the result was that Composite is on.
