Hello everybody, After an update on 10.2 I rebooted the computer and noticed a couple of changes related to XGL setting in the KDE desktop. I now have 6 desktops displayed on the taskbar....instead of 4...and The window seperate feature works now when the mouse is in the bottom left corner of the screen instead of the upper right like it was before. Does anybody know where the configuration file is to adjust this....or where the xgl control panel is....unlike Gnome, KDE has no obvious way of controling xgl features Thanks Chris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The Internet is great, you should try using it http://en.opensuse.org/Using_Xgl_on_SUSE_Linux With that said, here you go: gnome-xgl-switch --enable-xgl That is what the Gnome button does.. On Friday 20 April 2007 15:58, Chris C wrote:

Try opensus-xgl-settings from here: http://software.opensuse.org/download/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_10.2/noarch/ You can make some basic setting changes to compiz as well as beryl.

Install gconf-editor, and all the compiz configuration options will be available to you. I cant remember the exact steps but to solve your 6 desktop problem, try setting kde's number of desktops to 1, and in gconf-editor set compiz to have four horizontal screens, and one vertical screen. Also the corner when the "window seperation" feature is activated is under the scale plugin, and you can set it to use any screen corner / key combo etc. If you find gconf-editor a little too hard to use (I will admit that its hardly intuitive) you can install a gui for this: The gui provided in opensuse 10.2 depends on a lot of gnome applications such as the gnome-control-centre nautilus and quite a few others. This is ridiculous if you want to use KDE -- you won't wan't / need all those gnome apps. A slightly better solution is if you add http://software.opensuse.org/download/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_10.2/ to your installation sources, then another gui called "gnome-compiz-preferences" will become available. This wont depend on as many gnome apps and will offer you many of the configuration options gnome users get with openSUSE 1.02 Hope that helps you Chris! :) -------------------------------- --------------------------------

opensuse-xgl-settings provides very little in the way of config options. switching plugins on and off is about as far as it goes unfortunately. -------------------------------- --------------------------------

Thanks guys....very helful. All of it really help me. I found that the 6 desktops and all the other settings were adjustable one I found the GUI for the XGL/Compiz controls. Before any of returned theses answers I loaded up Gnome and then did a search for "control center" in Beagle...and there it was...but I guess there is not KDE XGL GUI for it. Novell tells me that in early May SLED (Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop) is getting a major service pack that will include lots of KDE add-ons....including XGL. As you know, SLED currently only really supports Gnome....but according to them...that's changed to equal support and functionality to the KDE desktop as well. Thanks again guys for all your help.
