Following up on the release of openSUSE 11.1, the fresh new packages from Compiz Fusion git snapshot are available here.

Or add http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/cyberorg/openSUSE_11.1/ manually to the repository and install whatever you need.
This repository contains many more plugins and features that are not yet part of official releases. The latest development in this release is use of Google’s Protocol Buffers: a technology that gives massive performance improvements to compiz as well as ccsm and simple-ccsm.

Although openSUSE 11.1 is almost ready, Compiz that is in it is still not there yet. If you run into some of the remaining annoyances, here is how to get Compiz Fusion bliss on openSUSE 11.1.
Add X11:XGL repository that contains compiz without NOMAD patches
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_11.1/ X11:XGL
Update all compiz packages from that repo
zypper up -t package -r X11:XGL
After making sure compiz is switched off and disabled, remove old configuration:
rm -rf /home/your-username/.config/compiz
Launch simple-ccsm and enable Compiz.
Have a lot of fun…
