Install gconf-editor, and all the compiz configuration options will be available to you. I cant remember the exact steps but to solve your 6 desktop problem, try setting kde's number of desktops to 1, and in gconf-editor set compiz to have four horizontal screens, and one vertical screen. Also the corner when the "window seperation" feature is activated is under the scale plugin, and you can set it to use any screen corner / key combo etc. If you find gconf-editor a little too hard to use (I will admit that its hardly intuitive) you can install a gui for this: The gui provided in opensuse 10.2 depends on a lot of gnome applications such as the gnome-control-centre nautilus and quite a few others. This is ridiculous if you want to use KDE -- you won't wan't / need all those gnome apps. A slightly better solution is if you add http://software.opensuse.org/download/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_10.2/ to your installation sources, then another gui called "gnome-compiz-preferences" will become available. This wont depend on as many gnome apps and will offer you many of the configuration options gnome users get with openSUSE 1.02 Hope that helps you Chris! :) -------------------------------- -------------------------------- >On 4/21/07, Chris C <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >Try opensus-xgl-settings from here: > >http://software.opensuse.org/download/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_10.2/noarch/ > >You can make some basic setting changes to compiz as well as beryl. opensuse-xgl-settings provides very little in the way of config options. switching plugins on and off is about as far as it goes unfortunately. -------------------------------- -------------------------------- >On 4/21/07, Ben Kevan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >The Internet is great, you should try using it > That's not a helpful response... > >http://en.opensuse.org/Using_Xgl_on_SUSE_Linux > >With that said, here you go: > >gnome-xgl-switch --enable-xgl > >That is what the Gnome button does..
