I am pulling my hair out these last few days. I cannot seem to enable compositing on my OpenSyse 11.3, KDE 4.4 desktop. I have a tc1100 tablet, with GeForce 420.
I uninstalled the nouveau driver and blacklisted it. Also set NO_MS_IN_INITRD to yes
Then compiled the proprietary nvidia legacy driver.
But it cannot enable compositing.
What can I try? How do I enable compositing?
Am I missing something, this should work out of the box right. Perhaps I should go for glx comp since my card is so old. What should I need to install of do to switch to glx and where can I check the compositing log?
Many many thanks!
Here is a copy of my current xorg.conf:
