Make sure you have the following package installed and then start the program from the menu tree (System-->More Programs-->Compiz Fusion Icon).

(Also, in the future please specify which version of openSUSE you are running and which desktop.)

- thanks a lot for your help! - I'm on SuSE10.3/KDE/plain vanilla, sorry I forgot to mention. - I've got the newest NVIDIA driver, it loads perfedtly fine and it runs Google Earth like a breeze. I take that as an acid test :-) - I installed compiz and all. When I start the compiz icon, I right click and select compiz as windows manager. This causes my windows to loose the handles...and it does not start anything compiz. I.E., I cannot rotate and anything. I still got my 8 desktops and all. I'm puzzled a little...any hints? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Novell Certified Linux Professional 10035701 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

compiz-manager

Run compiz-manager from konsole like J suggested. If it doesn't start, post the output here and somebody will be able to help you. I too have a shiny (relatively new 8600GT overclock edition). For me, the start command required is: #!/bin/bash emerald --replace & sleep 1 LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz \ --ignore-desktop-hints \ --replace \ --indirect-rendering \ --no-libgl-fallback \ --sm-disable \ ccp & When you find the cli options you need to start compiz, just edit /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/FusionIcon/data.py and add the options to line 36 so that it reads similar to: compiz_args = ['--replace', '--sm-disable', '--ignore-desktop-hints', '--no-libgl-fallback', '--indirect-re ndering', 'ccp'] You will then be able to start compiz using fusion-icon.
