Hi
[openSUSE 10.2 (X86-64), Linux 2.6.18.2-34-default, XFX GeForce 6600LE, Intel Pentium D CPU 3.20GHz, KDE 3.5.7 "release 80.1"]
Was running a fully functional, though occasionally fractious, Beryl until two weeks ago - then after an update using Yast, and a bit of tweaking, all graphics was lost. Cleaned out the system and tried to install Compiz as an alternative ...
I've followed all the leads on this mailinglist but still having no success getting Compiz active. Some details:
I have the following NVIDIA drivers installed:
* nvidia-gfxG01-kmp-default-100.14.19 (x86_64) * x11-video-nvidiaG01-100.14.19 (x86_64)
I have tried with installing these Nvidia drivers both by Yast and via the "hard way", but: My Computer: Display Info, shows: "Driver: nvidia", and then occasionally shows a "3D" entry ...
Whilst SaX2:X11 Configuration shows "Activate 3D Acceleration" as being selected.
I believe that all the relevant Compiz, xgl, KDE, Gnome (for bug-buddy, gnome-xgl-switch, ...) components are installed.
Using CompizConfig Settings Manager (0.5.2) I have selected all the preferred eye-candy but still cannot activate any of the graphical effects or features.
For example: running gnome-xgl-settings as root, crashes with:
" ** (bug-buddy:22873): WARNING **: Couldn't load icon for Bonobo Component Browser
** (bug-buddy:22873): WARNING **: Couldn't load icon for Open Folder "
Similarly, running "NVIDIA X Server Settings" mostly(!?) opens with:
" You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. "
Any hints would help ...

instead of xgl, use the native NVIDIA driver for 3D, run the following as root in the console: gnome-xgl-settings --disable-xgl that will obviously disable xgl, then run (always as root): nvidia-xconfig --composite --allow-glx-with-composite --render-accel --add-argb-glx-visuals after doing that you must create a script on: ~/.kde/Autostart/startcompiz.sh #! /bin/sh compiz --replace ccp & and make it executable. That's it... you have the native NVIDIA driver running and compiz enabled, now you can run the CCSM and in the command line within the window decorations plugin, you can run your favorite window decorator, mine is set to emerald --replace & If you have any doubt, don't hesitate to ask... ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
