From a virtual terminal run
to disable XGL. That is of course assuming that you enabled it using the tool in gnome-control-center.Code:sudo gnome-xgl-switch --disable-xgl

How did you enable the effects? If you did it with SUSE's tools then that's the program that ran and there is no need to change gnome to KDE.
Alternatively you can wait until your system boots, go to a VT by hitting ctrl+alt+F1 and logging in and then runningYou can then flip back to X using xtrl+alt+F7 and do all of your configuration in the GUI.Code:killall compiz
