XGL needs to be activated. For gnome, go to control panel and open desktop effects to enable XGL.

For both Gnome and KDE, open YaST, go to etc/sysconfig edit option. And select window manager as XGL instead of Xorg.

^^ I dunno...I started using it since 10.2 only.

I was gonna go for 10.1, but Kalpik warned me not to because of some update problems.

I am still very happy with my Debian 4.0 Etch.

I used OpenSuse 10.2 and really HATED it.

Just loving .deb and Debian :)

^^ Debian users do find it difficult (from my experience) to port to an rpm distribution. And believe me, the package management in 10.3 is a lot better than in 10.2.

Do have a go at it. You will not feel your time was wasted.

Believe me man. Debian has "The Best Package Management"

Even a total jerk just needs Apt - get to get all done ;)

Also Dependancy issues faced are ZERO so far for me.

.deb >> .rpm

Congos!still on Debian Etch,follow me! use apt-pinning lenny,sid and experimental to use Debian Sid!it got latest packages gives Gnome-2.20 and latest packages of most s/w.compiz-fusion will work fine.u can get ubuntu upstart replacing sysVinit in Debian sid.then use the 3rd party repositories for multimedia.
gutsy will be facing a strong competition,if debian releases Sid CDs/DVDs.!
and if on etch,dont forget adding backports.org and few other repos in /etc/apt/sources.list.

and Sidux distro is there for Kde Debian users!

below is a PM i send to a new Etch user here as he asked:
ubuntuguide holds almost same for debian except the repositories.enable debian repositories for stable etch by editing /etc/apt/sources.list.then u have to configure 3rd party repositories.
refer and add the repo line from sites :
*www.backports.org/dokuwiki/do...d=instructions
*debian-unofficial.org
*www.debian-multimedia.org/
*www.rarewares.org/debian.php

remember i use apt-pinning and a little complex configuration of Debian Sid(unstable).so if ur using etch,just use backports as possible.
*linuxquestions.org debian section got most repositories and doubt clearances.there are other repositories for compiz-fusion,but may work or not with debian etch-u have to try.

That is what I meant. For a debian and derived distributions user, the package management is the biggest letdown. openSUSE members are doing a lot of hard work. They know that the package management sucks.

Even the latest YaST survey has a question, "Rate YaST without the package manager" and a lot of options follow. So, try it. But it is not at all as good as debian. As you said, in package management SUSE << Debian.
