Driver bug. KWin should deny GL compositing from now on (so what you see is expected) Current versions (4.7) have a GUI way to rearm this lowlevel protection - and this is all we can do in this regard. Sorry. To rearm compositing support by hand, quit the config dialog, run konsole and call: kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group Compositing --key CheckIsSafe true kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group Compositing --key OpenGLIsUnsafe false If you're using fglrx, you can safely expect that the next attempt to activate GL compositing will crash kwin again. Try xf86-video-ati (the OSS radeon driver) instead. Thanks for your quick answer, Thomas. I tried the latest ATI/AMD fglrx 8.872 with my openSUSE 11.4 but this is buggy. I'm afraid I won't be able to use ATI OSS driver since my recent HD6870 is not supported. But I'm patient! I'll be waiting. *** Bug 280955 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 281262 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Bulk change: move all KWin kcm bugs to product kwin |
