kde4.2 and slackware 12.2
Hi
today i had installed kde4.2 in my slack box. My slack with dri on and glxgears working great, but when a try to activate the effects in kde tells me this Failed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options. Settings will be reverted to their previous values. Check your X configuration. You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the compositing type. tha line composite in my xorg.conf exist why? thanx a lot |
what does
Code:
fgrep -i5 composite /var/log/Xorg.0.log |
bash-3.1$ fgrep -i5 composite /var/log/Xorg.0.log

A usefull example is better than day in class

BUT a useful example of a command is so much better than reading the man page for fgrep all day whenever an 'expert' tells a poster to run a certain command I always go to a terminal and run that command on my system. I helps me to understand the command so much better than reading the man page thanks john |

The 4.2 version of KDE is not available for Slackware 12.2 - it is for Slackware current which is different. You need to build 4.2 from source on Slackware 12.2 (a big job) or upgrade to Slackware current - instructions should be on this forum somewhere.
You may get current's 4.2 working but it's not recomended to mix versions. |
