Ok, here's the issue
After an update (can't remember which one), the whole X System freezes when Compiz tries to start at the same time as KDE.
I mean a whole freeze, i can't CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE, or even switch to virtual console... the whole keyboard won't respond... don't ask about Magic SysRQ key, as the Macbook doesn't have one! LOL <-- a sarcastic laugh!
Compiz works fine if I let the system run for a few minutes, but if it starts with KDE, it freezes and does not resume (well, I waited 5 minutes)
Sadly, once Compiz runs, KDE will always try to start it with a new session, so this means i have to run the:
Code:
#chmod -x /usr/bin/compiz
oh, and I obviously chmod it back when I run it later
command before I log into KDE.
My system seems up-to-date.
oh, before I forget, here is my xorg.conf:

Please help.. this is driving me insane... and only fuels the "Linux is Crap" debate with my school mates! (sometimes it's hard to convince people when the whole thing freezes
)
Compiz Fusion crashes whole system if started with KDE - openSUSE 10.3
