I cannot assist you, but I hope you don't mind me adding this to the thread using the same subject line since my issue is not being able to run translucency / shadows at all. Turning this option on will crash X and I find myself back at the login prompt again. I had to re-login twice before I was able to turn it back off. Using SuSE 9.2, KDE 3.4, 2.6.8-24.13 kernel (custom re-compile for smp and scsi raid) on the latest Nvidia drivers. Nothing found searching the web and until now, nothing mentioned in this mailing list. I understand the warnings, this option gives by turning on, but all I've seen on the web, seems to work everywhere. Maybe the video card lacks memory (only 64Mb)? KDE windows _really_ slow for the time before crashing.
Anyone else?
I have a nVidia Go5200 with nVidia driver and the same Kernel and SuSE version you have but didn't have crashing after I added the "Composite" extension to the xorg config. It was very slow but after turning the "RenderAccel" on that is gone now and it is wroking normally now. Still it is buggy somehow I think (specially the translucency) but it is really beautiful and amazing. I'm really impressed. cheers Hamid
