Finally Compiz is back in openSUSE 10.3….the latest update from the XGL openSUSE repo fixed the problem. But there is also another change that comes with new version of XGL… now the old command - “gnome-xgl-switch” no longer works…. now the command to start xgl is “xgl-switch –enable-xgl” and to stop it is “xgl-switch –disable-xgl”.

There are many new features added…i will test them and add new posts about them with screen shots

Hi every one…I think i might have helped many using this blog. But this time i might need some help. Actually i have been using Compiz fusion almost since it was released. I have gone through many ups n downs with it ( ups could be when i was amongst the first to see new features been added and downs would be when i was amongst the first to see all the bugs and crashes that came with the new versions). But all was well i was actually enjoying the ups and downs and was using the version 7.2.0 fairly well…and then i updates and the effects stoped working. Actually i got a command line instead of the login screen whenever xgl was on….i thought this bug will be sloved with yet another update but 3 updates came past me but it stilled didnt work out….my problem remained the same…no login screen… Then i thought it might be a problem with some plugin so i turned off all the plugins and sill the same problem. Then i reverted back to the oldest version of XGL that was available in the OSS repo of openSUSE 10.3 ( Oh! sry i forgot….i m using openSUSE 10.3 with 768 mb ram n intel 915gm board). Well after reverting back to the oldest XGL i got the login screen but after logging in compiz crashed. This made me realise that maybe XGL in the XGL repo of open suse is not up-to-date with the compiz fusion i m using. Does any one know a work around for this problem i m facing…. and if someone realted to openSUSE comes across this problem please Fix this bug….Its been more than a week since i havent seen any of that beautiful desktop effects on my comp
