[opensuse] 10.3 compiz loads a blank white screen for 1 user, others OK
Listmates, I have an interesting problem with compiz on openSuSE 10.3. On a 4 user system, compiz loads with a blank white desktop. The desktop begins to load and you can see the desktop background, then it goes completely blank white. The mouse cursor is visible, but nothing else. You can spin the cube, no caps are present, but the mouse is non responsive otherwise (no right-click response or context menus). The only way to end the session is ctrl+alt+backspace. All other users desktops load fine. What possible setting could be messed up? Googling suggests gnome-xgl-switch can be the problem, but I have enabled and disabled it with no change in results. What should I check next?? Thanks for any help! -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

I use opensuse 10.3 on two different computers with compiz. On one I never get the white cube. On the other I always get the white cube on a reboot. On that machine I find that I don't get the blank white cube if I delete the file /home/mikecoan/.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc On that machine I boot to runlevel 3, delete the above file, then run startx and all is fine. On my work machine, which has that same file, there is no problem. I don't really know what is going on, but thsat avoids the blank white cube for me. Mike -- Michael A.
