- compiz - 0.0.13+git20060928
- ===========================
-
- This version of compiz was checked out from the upstream git repository at
- git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/app/compiz on September 28, 2006.
-
- Xorg Server Configuration
- =========================
-
- In order for compiz to work you need to add the following to you server
- configuration file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf):
-
- + Enable the composite extension: locate the section named "Extensions" and
- add the following line:
-
- Option "Composite" "enable"
-
- If there is no section "Extensions" yet, you should add one that looks
- like this:
-
- Section "Extensions"
- Option "Composite" "enable"
- EndSection
-
- + Make XAA not hold any pixmaps in offscreen memory. This slows down compiz
- in many configurations. You can disable this by adding the following line
- to your "Device" section:
-
- Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
-
- Now restart your X server and login to your favorite session. After the
- session has loaded completely, open a terminal window and type the following
- command:
-
- $ compiz --replace &
-
- Which will start compiz, make it replace the current window manager and
- background the process so you can safely close the terminal again. If all went
- well, compiz should start up and enable a whole bunch of desktop effects.
