Hi, I'm trying to use xgl with open suse 10.2. I have an ati grapgics card and have installed the ati drivers. I installed opensuse-xgl-settings and tried configuring with this application. But whenever I have turned it on and boot into KDE all my Windows don't have a frame to resize/close/minimize... Can anyone help how i can get it up and running including my current window decoration?I'm using KDE 3.5.7 by the way.

I tried 10.3 today mainly to get the most up to date evolution. here are some notes from my experience before I went back to 10.2. First I tried the upgrade option to go from 10.2 to 10.3 that worked pretty well. VMware 5.5 would not run without a patch and then it hung my system both times I started it up and ruined my virtual machine to the point it would not boot. Gnome had an issue being able to discern between my two monitors while running in dual screen mode. one screen supports 1440x900 and the other supports 1680x1050, the lower panel on the bigger screen got to be located just like it was on the 1440 screen. If I maximized a window it would get as big as 1440x900 minus the panel. If I moved the panel to the top of the screen and then manually stretched a window to the 1680 size it would work. The newer version of evolution might have been better but not sure because every time I had it running the system locked up, not even pingable but I think it was related to the VMware problems. So, I thought maybe this is a problem because of doing an upgrade, so I tried a clean install... The installer was much slower than the 10.2 installer when making any changes on the software list. and none of the problems above got any better and this is when my VM windows got destroyed. The host system is a Dell Latitude D620 2GB ram, 80GB disk, nVidia Corporation Quadro NVS 110M / GeForce Go 7300 (the nVidia driver compiled and installed nicely BTW.) Not sure if anybody will be able to do anything about any of these iissues since I did not go through the effort to save any logs. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi check this out: http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz_Fusion There is a configuration and troubleshooting section. Please also install compiz-manager and try it out from shell. It is a wrapper script that detects all your settings and starts the window manager accordingly.
