I am not desperate to have all possible eye-candy operating, but I

The system has an nvidia GeForce 7300 card and I am using the nvidia
(proprietary) driver. The KDE is 4.5.5 under Slackware 13.37 which is
the best I can run under Slack 13.37 without making some other
significant system changes.
Recently KDE allows me to use only the XRender compositing type which
provides a jerky experience if desktop effects are turned on. If I try
and switch to OpenGL I get "Failed to activate desktop effects using
the given config options" and it reverts to jerky Xrender. I have
re-installed the nvidia driver and am sure it is working OK because
the nvidia Server settings utility does what is expected (provides a
cursor shadow for example). This utility also reports all sorts of
OpenGL parameters and so it looks like OpenGL should work OK. Why is
KDE not playing nicely?
Thanks
