Enabling Desktop Effects
To enable Xgl, you need a graphics adapter capable of providing 3-D support, and you
also need the graphics driver that Linux uses to operate the graphics adapter. This
driver must be able to handle OpenGL (or 3-D) requests from the Linux kernel. For a
list of supported adapters, see the /etc/X11/xgl-hardware-list file that is
included with the SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop installation. This file tells you which
graphics cards are known to work with Xgl, which cards do not work with Xgl, and
which cards might work with Xgl but are not supported because they are either too slow
or contain too many known defects.
Your screen resolution must be within the 1024x768 to 1920x2000 range, and your
color depth must be set at 24-bit. 3-D acceleration must also be enabled. Use SaX2 to
change your graphic card and monitor properties if necessary.
To enable desktop effects:
