Problems running Compiz on KDE, SUSE 10.1

Hello.

Before getting to the point, my system specs: Pentium 4 - 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce 6200, 1.48 GB RAM. Running SUSE Linux 10.1 with KDE 3.5

As stated in the title, I'm having problems running Compiz on KDE. Whenever I run "compiz" on a terminal I get the following output:

Code:

compiz: Trying '/usr/$LIB/libIndirectGL.so.1'
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/$LIB/libIndirectGL.so.1' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
compiz (core) - Error: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager.
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

Apparently, the problem is that Compiz is not set as the window manager... however, when I run "compiz --replace cc &", I get the same error about libIndirectGL.so.1. Then, all windows on my desktop lose their decoration, and eventually the system crashes.

Also, xgl is working; I know that because I have window transparency and shadowing enabled.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Thanks, in advance.

Have you installed the Nvidia drivers? If not try

Once the drivers are installed, check your 3D acceleration by pressing Alt+F2 and entering glxgears - you should see three rotating gears in a small box - they should be rotating smoothly if hardware acceleration is working.

Hello.

Yes, I have installed the NVIDIA drivers.

3D acceleration is enabled and running well. I ran glxgears as you said, and the gears were rotating smoothly.
