Thanks to Rodrigo’s work, simple-ccsm now has a switch to easily enable/disable Compiz.
On openSUSE 11.0 users will not have to fiddle with any commandline, hack scripts or xorg.conf to enable Compiz. AIGLX is enabled by default on all the supported hardwares, and as soon as ATI/NVIDIA drivers are installed via 1-click, so all that is required is launch simple-ccsm (Desktop Effects) application and enable compiz.
In case you are wondering what theme I am using, it is just the default openSUSE gilouch theme, greened just the way I like it. Download and drag and drop the tarball on “Appearence” caplet if you want it too.

It is not YaST module? If not, why?

It does not require root access, and the switch/settings are per user not system wide.

But YaST can contain user-specific modules as well as system wide.

Doesn’t compiz enabled by default in 11.0?

Absolutly not in KDE4. I don’t know if in Gnome… But it also depends on your Graphic card, probably.

I meant gnome. Cyberorg wrote, aiglx will be enabled by default, it would be nice, if compiz will be too, after i installed the graphic card driver.

For everyone else, there’s also Compiz Switch, or an option in your distro to disable the extra effects.
