similar to: openSuSE 10.3 compiz loads with white screen for 1 user

Listmates, I installed 8.2 on opensuse 10.3 from the opensuse XGL repository to replace 7.6. Compiz works with the nvidia 8600 GT card (512M of GDDR3) on the box, but the ctrl+alt <- -> switching behavior is really bad. In 7.6, the ctrl+alt <- -> desktop switching changed desktops crisply with just the slightest hint of the cube detected during the very short and nice switch.

Listmates, Interesting difference in size. The cube now seems to have grown in size during rotate. See the differences: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/compiz/compiz-rotate.png http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/compiz/compiz-rotate1.png Is there a setting that controls this? -- David C.

Dominique, cc: compiz, Dominique, you wanted the feedback, and List, I need your help. I have installed and fully configured (kicked the tires) on compiz 8.6 on openSuSE 11.0 and on balance it is great. There are a few weird things going on. Most notably, the number of options in ccsm that now uncheck themselves. In the past (compiz 0.5.6 - 0.8.2) there may have been one or two that would stick

Listmates, Hopefully this is a compiz only question. Using the mouse wheel to scroll down web pages seems to be much slower in compiz than in kde. It also affects scrolling through long directories in konqueror (ex: /usr/share/doc/packages) but to a lesser extent than web content. Is there any setting, fix or workaround that might help? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E. Rankin Law Firm, PLLC

Listmates (only posting to one list) Compiz has been running great with the 8.433 driver except for the libGL SONAME lockup on exit. see: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=344135 I just built and installed the 8.452 driver. Compiz would not start with the normal fusion-icon approach that I have been using with the 8.433 driver. This is on my Toshiba P35 laptop with an ATI

Devs, compiz listmates: Why can't I turn off compiz autostart on openSuSE 10.3 i386? Compiz just decided to start automatically with KDE login ever since I upgraded to the first 0.7.4.x release from the openSuSE build service. I have tried to disable it by creating the file "disable-compiz" in ~/.config/compiz but compiz still starts at login. Even if I switch to kwin before

Listmates, I am experiencing some quirks with the new ATI 8.1 (8.452) driver and compiz-fusion on 10.3. Of note are: (1) Invoking the run command with Alt+F2 correctly opens the run dialog, but the cursor is frozen and will not take any input _until_ the "Options" button is clicked or activated with Alt+o. Then the cursor begins blinking normally and input is possible. If the

Listmates, This is no biggie, 8.6 is working well so far. However, I do notice 1-2 lines of pixelization at the top of the screen on keyboard rotate. I know this hasn't been there since the 0.5.6-0.6 days when compiz was first released for opensuse years ago. It wasn't there up through 8.2. The gpu is the radeon X1200 using the fglrx-legacy driver. Looking at the screenshot it actually

Listmates, I have a problem with compiz not honoring the special window settings in kde for xterm. In kde, I have the position and size of the xterm window set to a usable default. In KDE, the window opens to the proper size and location. In compiz, it is about 1/2 the size and never opens where it is set to open. Is there a way to have compiz read the default window settings for xterm?

Listmates, I have run across an error with the annotate plugin. I am unable to select a new color for the Fill or Stroke color and the Stoke color doesn't seem to do anything. Here is a screenshot showing the problem. Let me know if I can send anything else. Thanks. http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/compiz/error-AnnotatePlugin.jpg -- David C.

Listmates, I have a fresh openSuSE 10.3 install with all updates installed, the video card is a MSI nVidia 8600GT (pci-e 16). After following the openSuSE nVidia install and the Compiz Fusion install (and after log outs and reboots) compiz refused to start. As shown on the openSuSE Compiz page he file .config/compiz/compiz-manager was created with: COMPIZ_OPTIONS="--no-libgl-fallback

Listmates, On archlinux with emerald 0.8.2-1, the emerald theme editor windows are next to unusable. For some reason, the button edit 'Places' and 'Name' window areas are scrunched/squished way too small. Here is a screenshot: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/linux/compiz/emerald/editwindowlayoutsquished.jpg I have tried to resize them and either I don't know how, or

Danny, All Thanks for a great compiz-0.7.6. The cylinder takes a little warming up to, but is really cool. Of all the boxes I have updated, I have one that now experiences the White Screen of Death (WSOD) when compiz is started. Killing X with ctrl+alt+backspace or ssh from remote and kill compiz and emerald is the only way out. The box was working fine with fglrx_7_1_0_SUSE103-8.476-1 and

Guys, SuSE 10.3, compiz-fusion-kde-0.6.2-3.1, fglrxG01-8.43.3-0.1, xorg 7.2. I just experienced a complete window decoration crash where all window decorations disappeared. kwin --replace followed by a emerald --replace cured the problem. This is the first crash since installing 6.2-3.1 about 12 hours ago. Is there anything helpful I can post that might identify the cause of the problem? --

Guys, One thing that could be improved with skydome when it is animated is to have it 'centered' behind desktop 1 when you initiate rotation or show the desktop wall, etc. Many times when you want to take a screenshot, you naturally will want to have the central feature of your skydome in view. If you have cubecaps, then the orientation of the cubecaps gets all messed up when you rotate

Guys (and girls) I have seen screenshots of compiz with a vista like right side panel holding the clock, calendar, system stats, etc. that I would love to add. The problem is that (1) I don't know what it is called or (2) where to look to get it. I have looked at kasbar, ksim and universal sidebar under KDE, but those are not what I've seen. Anyone else have any other ideas? -- David

I have a feeling my no autostart problem is related to the following tests in compiz-manager. Is there a way I can "step" through the script on openSuSE 10.3 while it is running to find out where the script dies? Or do I basically have to insert error returns throughout the script to capture that info? ---- # if we run under Xgl, we can skip some tests here if ! check_xgl; then # if

Listmates, There was no rhyme or reason why another /usr/lib/libIndirectGL.so.1 got installed on my system, but it did: [root Rankin-P35a/home/david] # l /usr/lib/libIn*? -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 440676 2007-09-21 20:34 /usr/lib/libIndirectGL.so.1.2*? lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2007-10-12 03:00 /usr/lib/libIndirectGL.so.1.old -> libIndirectGL.so.1.2*? lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20

Listmates, Woking with compiz 8.2 on kde 4.3 beta 2 on Archlinux, the plasma "kicker" pager widget does not work correctly after compiz 8.2 is started. Before compiz is started you see the 4 small desktop representations stacked 2x2. After you start compiz, the panel only shows a single large pane 'Desktop 1' no matter what desktop you are on. The strange part is that

Sam, Danny, J., all I am working with the radeon and radeonhd drivers seeing if I can get them to work with compiz 0.8.2.1 on my radeon x1200 laptop. My xorg .conf is: Section "Device" BoardName "RV350 NP" # Driver "radeon" Driver "radeonhd" Identifier "Device[0]" VendorName "ATI" EndSection I have tried
