Here's your problem - read the comment in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager above the DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER variable, and for that matter the name of the package, and every piece of documentation connected to it... It's called Xgl not Xglx I had to change references to /usr/X11R6/bin to /usr/X11R6/bin/Xgl in /etc/opt/gnome/gdm/gdm.conf to get it to work with GDM incidentally. -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org Packages for SUSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms Make Poverty History: http://makepovertyhistory.org
HI, I've managed to get it to work but, not on a automated way. Here what I have done: 1. Installed everything like tells you to on opensuse.org. 2. logout from X session. 3. Goto console 1 with CTRL+ALT+F1 4. Type "init 3" 5. Type "export DISPLAY=:0.0" 6. Type "Xgl -fullscreen -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:fbo" - Xserver will start. 7. Goto console 2 with CTRL+ALT+F2 8. Type "export DISPLAY=:0.0" 9. Type "startkde" and wait for kde to start 10. Goto console 3 with CRTL+ALT+F3 11. Type "compiz --replace gconf decoration wobbly fade minimize cube rotate zoom scale move resize place switcher" For you to test it press CTRL+ALT+RIGHT_KEY and, the cube should turn right. NOTES: Step 6 if for a NVIDIA card using NVIDIA's binary drivers. Step 9 is for KDE. It will be different for gnome and i do not know how to start it ( sorry ). It wasn't fully functional. I believe work has to be done. eg: there is no minimize/maximize button... Hope it helps. MindBender wrote:
