Re: [opensuse] Suse 10.3 Beta1 +Compiz-fusion (Solved)
I got compiz-fusion running on both 10.3 and 10.2 X68-64 dual core and without xgl. It was a 4 day battle, but I won in the end. Here is what I did. 10.2 I pretty much followed http://www.benkevan.com/blog/?p=66, which did not work completely.. Then I changed the repository to http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/xorg73/openSUSE_10.2, upgraded the compiz-fusion, xorg, & mesa rpms. (These had all been upgraded before but the 7.3 repository had slightly later versions). The copoy/paste of #! /bin/sh compiz –replace ccp & emerald –replace ccp & from http://www.benkevan.com/blog/?p=65 did not work right. Ended up I had to change the - to --. I also added the nvidia repository and had already installed the invidia kernel drivers previously. 10.3 First, adding the 10.2 nvidia repository did not work. I would not recognize the drivers as they were for the wrong version of kernel. I downloaded the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.11-pkg2.run and ran it with the -q option. The -q is a must. Ended up that I needed to do this again after I updated xorg for some reason or another, so you might want to do this last. Used the XGL:/X11 repositories first, the the xorg73 repositories. in Yast. Most of the packages were not upgraded, even though they were in the repositories. I ended up downloding those that did not upgrade and installed them manually. If fact, I had to get the emerald-themes from the suse 10.2 repositoy. Hopefully by the time 10.3 is released, this will all get straightened out, otherwise, it is really a big hassle. As far as the nvidia-config line from http://www.benkevan.com/blog/?p=65, again another copy paste error on the -, but it still did not work. Unrecognized --compite etc. Ended up I had to do each option individually, then it worked. my xorg config added lines are as follows: Under screen Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen[0]" Device "Device[0]" Monitor "Monitor[0]" DefaultDepth 24 Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True" Option "RenderAccel" "True" Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" SubSection "Display" and at the end Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection Compiz is much faster and the compiz setting application is very nice. Have to play around with all of the plug-ins and see what I really want to use. Both CPUs are running 4 to 6 %. If I rotate the cube, etc., 1 cpu will jump up to about 16% for only a short time while I am rotating the cube. Now I will have to install this on my laptop at work where I have WinXP running under parallels on Suse 10.2. Hopefully parallels will work with it as I do max out the 2 cpus on it quite often with a simulation program that only runs under winxp. Thanks to all that helped on the mail list.

I though this problem had been solved, but in reality, it has not. When I logged out in both 10.3 and 10.2, it locks up. Only mouse cursor moves, but nothing with right or left click. Ctrl+alt+bksp as well as ctrl+alt+delete does nothing. Only way out is power switch. Go back in, after it goes into compiz, immediate lockup. Finally got back into KDE by deleting the .kde directory and letting kde create it again. now the startcompiz.sh no longer does anything in 10.2, but in 10.3, it went back into compiz-fusion which worked until you log out again. Without the startcompiz.sh, it appears that some of compiz is till working, like fading and the fuzz around the active window. Some questions When removing the startcompiz.sh file, it still goes into compiz. Only way out is as mentioned above to delete the .kde directory. What is compiz putting in KDE that is screwing things up when removing the .sh file? What does the compiz-kde-backend rpm do that I have seen but not installed?
