problem with activating fusion icon

[vitaliy93]

hi

i just installed ccsm and i have a fusion icon in my tray, i have opensuse 10.3, everything seems to work fine.

i open settings manager and then for example i enable (rotate cube).

and i look at the key commands it shows for example rotate left so its <control><alt><left>

i do that and nothing seems to happen i waited more then 45 seconds holding the keys.

the only thing is that i didn't install a driver because everytime i do that i get a black screen after restarting the x server so i am very frastrated of reainstalling opensuse 10.3 i am a complete noob i used windows xp before so its really hard for me to learn linux.


people had tried to help me with getting rid of the black screen but nothing worked so far i used linux untubu fedora core 8 mandriva arch and now open suse 10.3 wich i preffer the most.


please answer fast i hate when people answer after hours thank you. :)

It sounds like compiz isn't running yet, which makes sense if your video drivers aren't installed. You will need to get the drivers installed properly before you can use compiz. Just like we said last time, there may not be anything we can do to help you if the drivers are buggy, but we'd need to see your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file, from when you're using the fglrx driver, to get some idea of what's going on.

Delfick even posted step by step instructions on grabbing that file for you in the last thread: http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showpost.php?p=44741&postcount=11

just pliz tell me what to do or if there are any errors.!!!! :(

OK, did you install the fglrx driver before grabbing that log file? That file shows that you're using the fbdev driver rather than the fglrx one. If you have installed the fglrx driver, you may still need to switch your xorg.conf file to it by using this command:

aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf

well i haven;t installed fglrx and i dont really know how to lol i have heard about it and searched for a guild but i havn't succided lol

[adamk]

In one of your previous threads, you said that you had installed fglrx, and that it was giving you a completely black screen when you rebooted. These are directions on installing fglrx on opensuse 10.3:

http://en.opensuse.org/ATI#openSUSE_10.3

It's simply a matter of clicking on one link in that web page, and you will be prompted to install the drivers.

This is a direct link to the driver: http://opensuse-community.org/ati.ymp

it gives me a warining that says




x11-video-fglrxG01 cannot be installed due to missing dependencies

[adamk]

It doesn't say what those dependencies are?

Try the five steps listed below the one-click install, starting here: http://en.opensuse.org/ATI#openSUSE_10.3.2C_10.2.2C_10.1

[vitaliy93]

when i type the first command in wich is
zypper install x11-video-fglrxG01 ati-fglrxG01-kmp-`uname -r | awk -F"-" '{print $NF}'`


i get the following error


* Reading repository 'X11:XGL' cache
* Reading repository 'ATI Repository' cache
* Reading repository 'openSUSE-10.3-DVD 10.3' cache
* Reading installed packages [100%]

Sorry, but I don't know what is going on here. You might want to go into "software repositories" in yast2 and hit "Refresh now" for each of the repositories listed there.

I have gotton that error with the nvidia drivers too :mad:, you can probably safely ignore it :D
its asking for a version of the kernel that I don't even think exists :p
