Comment 1 Thomas Lübking 2010-08-22 20:34:43 UTC

this could be bug #243991 as well ... but in doubt, try to "disable functionality checks" ("kcmshell4 kwincompositing", advanced tab)

Comment 2 Vladimir Berezhnoy 2010-08-24 10:51:19 UTC

The checkbox is already checked. I've tried disabling but that makes no difference.

Comment 3 Thomas Lübking 2010-08-24 15:23:48 UTC

try to call "LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 kwin --replace" and grep ~/kde/share/config/kwinrc for entries "safe" - "OpenGLIsUnsafe" should be "false" (this marks a detected crash due to broken drivers while attempting to set opengl and prevent further crashes by skipping such tests)

Thanks Thomas. I've chnaged the OpenGLIsUnsafe to false and run "LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 kwin --replace" and Opengl is working again.
