None of the Kwin desktop effects are working, i have a Nvidia Optimus setup. So i presume the primary Intel chip wil act as video card and Nvidia GPU is not required for KWin.
I get this obtuse message when I enable Desktop Effects. Any help to get desktop effects wotking will be sincerely appreciated. I have been wanting to get desktop cube animation since i came to know of it as i have 4 virtual desktops. I tried Compiz and is not working as well.
