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 --ignore-desktop-hints --replace"
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
The following xorg.conf config commands specified on the suse
nvidia page were executed as root:
nvidia-xconfig --composite
nvidia-xconfig --render-accel
nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24
glxgears frame rates dropped like a rock to 2100 FPS. (They were
10317 FPS with the same box and openSuSE 10.0)
Trying to start compiz with the following command line failed and
gave these errors:
17:04 providence~> compiz --no-libgl-fallback --ignore-desktop-hints
--replace ccp &
[1] 8625
17:05 providence~> A handler is already registered for the path starting
with path[0] = "org"
A handler is already registered for the path starting with path[0] = "org"
A handler is already registered for the path starting with path[0] = "org"
compiz (core) - Warn: No GLXFBConfig for depth 32
A new xorg.conf was generated from runlevel three with sax2 -r -m
0=nvidia. The new xorg was fast as a rocket ship, glxgears frame rates
were back to 10317 FPS. The frame rate was great without composite
enabled. (i.e. no:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
Re-enabling composite caused the frame rates to drop back to 2100
FPS and still no compiz. Finally I pulled an old command line of:
compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints
--indirect-rendering --no-libgl-fallback ccp &
Compiz started! But why all the problems on a relatively new box
with a new 8600GT? What can I do, or configure to help compiz start
without having to manually enter the above command line?
Also, in the konsole where I started compiz, errors to stdout
started appearing:

compiz (shift) - Warn: No compatible text plugin loaded.

<snip>
Hundreds of them! They stop every once and a while for 5-10 seconds
and then give 20 more. What do they mean and what can I check or
reconfigure to get rid of them? Compiz now works, but it was a process
getting it going.
Thanks for any help or insight into this problem you can give.
Whoever maintains the openSuSE page, may want to make note of this as well.
