Does anyone know how to get compiz-fusion running? I have installed
all of the packages incloding those for gnome and kde, but the only
thing I can find is compiz manager which does not have any start or
stop in it that I can find.
If you have supported graphics card
Try init 3 -> log in as root -> gnome-xgl-switch --enable-xgl -> init 5
login and launch compiz as follows
compiz --replace ccp &
Launch ccsm and select all the plugins you require, type in your
window decorator command in decoration plugin.

I would suggest not running XGL with Compiz Fusion if you have native
NVIDIA drivers.. What video card do you have?
Here, check out a blog that I wrote about compiz fusion:

Hope it helps

How much can you know about yourself, you've never been in a fight? I
don't wanna die without any scars. So come on; hit me
I have Nvidia geforce 7300 and it is working with the NVIDIA driver.
(That would not install with YAST, downloaded the latest version and
installed manuall). I will try your writeup when I get back from my swim
this morning, but I do have a question. Why does compiz-fusion not
require the xgl? (I will uninstall xgl, all of the programs you have
listed are installed).

Why would it not install via YaST? Did you do the G01 package? That's the 
correct one to use. If you are running on native NVIDIA drivers, it can do 
the rendering for you, and that is why you don't need XGL to do your 
rendering. Less CPU usage too (I previously ran XGL with Beryl and then 
switched to NVIDIA native driver, and worked much better and CPU usage stayed 
way lower with Xorg)..
Thanks

Done a complete reinstall. The compiz-fusion for 10.3 are in cyberorg
SUSEFactory repository instead of 10.2. 10.2 versions have too many
dependency problems. The NVIDIA drivers show up in Yast now, but they
are for the wrong kernel version. I did install the NVIDIA 100.14.11
driver with no problem. Everything worked upto the 
sudo nvidia-xconfig –composite –allow-glx-with-composite –render-accel –
add-argb-glx-visuals

It comes back with invalid option -composite. Guess it is because of not
having the susefied nvidia drivers for 10.3. Maybe in the near future.
