By the way, I apologize for not using the paste service. I didn't even see the instruction until I posted the reply. Next time I'll know better. If you actually want the paste service url, it's https://paste.kde.org/pxbilj2e8 But, anyway, next time you ask for information, I'll read the damn instructions... billo
As an aside, I ran Mint 17.3 from a USB stick, and the desktop effects work with KDE 4 (I think it was 4.3)
Hi. I can confirm this. Since Plasma 5.x I run into quite the same problems. My NVidia graphics adapter initializes fine and is working, but I cannot activate compositing for desktop effects. You can see it in Bill Olivers config. that compositing in his plasmashell is set to not active.

No problems with compositing with KDE SC 4.x. My Plasma desktop feels so slow without compositing. I can switch over to using xrender. But thats not an option, its too slow. I would like to get back desktop effects via OpenGL. Expected results: active compositing with OpenGL 2.0 Any idea or workaround?

This bug report contains two different issues which need to be separated. @m00nraker you are facing a different problem, please open a new bug report. @Bill Oliver: your system reports the usage of llvmpipe. That's the software rasterizer - a fallback for no working OpenGL driver. KWin doesn't support compositing on that because it would be done on CPU. Please check with your distribution how to install the proper driver for your system. There is no bug in our software, though. The fallback to XRender in case of llvmpipe is the expected behavior.
