The 03 february 2007 build is out.

<< < (5/6) > >>

Charon:
@killerbot : some linux-distribution now run AIGLX by default (which in itself just provides the 3D-funktionality) but don't use a compositing window-manager. i don't know if SuSE10.2 is one of these distributions, but it might be. if you don't see any fancy 3D-effects like wobbly windows etc. you might still have AIGLX activated.

try
vi /etx/X11/xorg.conf
and look out for the line
Option         "AIGLX" "true"

set it to false, restart your x-server and see if it works.


good luck

TheTuxKeeper:
without activating aiglx by hand (adding the line charon wrote), it's deactivated (suse prefers xgl, since novell developed it).
xgl should be visible in the process tree since it is its own xserver on top of the real xserver. if pstree | grep -i xgl shows a xgl process xgl is activated, if not your not using the 3d-specials. ;)

but to be sure, also look if aiglx is activated too.  :)

killerbot:
none of them show up in the pstree

Biplab:
Goto Computer > Control Center > Desktop Effects. Now a Window will pop-up. Try changing some settings there. In my PC all the options in this window are disabled. So can't help further.

Umm, false alarm.  For some reason, it did work after I turned off the 3D desktop, but now I am seeing the problem again.  Maybe it worked because I had just rebooted or something.  Anyways, Xgl is not the cause of the problem, it is something else SUSE related.  I did download a bunch of updates the other day, and I don't remember seeing the problem before then, so possibly one of the updates triggered the problem, or that's another red herring.  Continue with your 3D desktops, just don't try to run OpenGL things full screen, or if you do, make sure to save everything in case X crashes.
