Hi Guys,
WIth many applications, games, videos, but also scrolling large pages in Firefox, I get some major tearing, often at 2 parts of the screen. Very annoying. This has bugged me for a long time across all distributions, but I think I may have found a solution. To implement it, I need some help as I'm totally new to Suse.

There are 2 solutions offered, I don't think nr. 2 is viable for a desktop environment but nr.1 involves a setting in Compiz:
Solution 1: (thanks to chessplayer for pointing this out)
Enable "Unredirect Fullscreen Window" in Compiz Config Settings Manager.
An easy solution for this is described in the following thread on ubuntuforums.org. This is actually quite easy.
In short, what must be done is
For Ubuntu, this option is found in the "General" section of CCSM until 10.10 (Maverick). In Natty (due to Unity), it has been moved to the "Composite" section.
What I need to know from the Suse gurus is whether I can install and use CompizConfig Settings Manager. I think from the looks of Window Manager Settings KDE is using Compiz, so this setting should be available right?
Or can I access/set this setting without the use of Compiz Setting Manager?
Thanks!

- Install CCSM (Compiz Config Settings Manager)
Code:

- Check the option "Unredirect Fullscreen Window"
