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:

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. Links
are fine, I can read.
