David, I had a similar problem with a YOU update of compiz last week. One minute it was working, then after a kde restart it wasn't. I had to forcibly downgrade it to the previous version to get it back again.
Cheers,
Rodney,
How did you downgrade? I have tried removing the X11:/XGL repo and installing only from X11:/Compiz -- no luck. I have tried removing the X11:/Compiz repo and installing only from X11:/XGL repo -- still no luck. [,,,]
I'm running the 32-bit version, not x86-64, but for some reason (and I can't remember exactly what I did) I was able to forcibly "upgrade" from 0.7.8 to 0.7.4 through Yast's package management. I don't think I uninstalled compiz first. Anyway, I see in a later post that you've successfully reverted to 0.7.4 so that is a good thing. Incidentally, I've now installed KDE 4.1.2 on 10.3 (after jumping through a few hoops along the way). Funnily enough, since getting rid of the 3.93svn "KDE4" libraries even 3.5.7 seems to be behaving better and snappier. 4.1.2 also has some compiz-like desktop effects that seem to work pretty well... On my machine though, I still can't run any NVIDIA driver later than 100.14.19 with compiz without the system feeling like the desktop is covered with molasses. I've tried all subsequent versions of the NVIDIA driver and the load average with compiz running goes above 5 and stays there! Between them compiz and X11 just sit their chewing up 100% of CPU time even when nothing else is happening. With 100.14.19 everything is happy and works great (except for compiz 0.7.8 as you also discovered). Anyway, I'm getting dangerously close to hijacking this thread so I'd better quit whilst I'm ahead :-).
