I've been trying to get Compiz to run on my Debian Sid system. This is the setup:
% lspci|grep idia 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1) % dpkg -l compiz\* Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii compiz 0.2.2-1 OpenGL window and compositing manager ii compiz-core 0.2.2-1 OpenGL window and compositing manager ii compiz-gnome 0.2.2-1 OpenGL window and compositing manager - GNOM ii compiz-gtk 0.2.2-1 OpenGL window and compositing manager - Gtk ii compiz-plugins 0.2.2-1 OpenGL window and compositing manager - plug I've followed the instructions at [1] to configure Xorg with AIGLX and it seems it's working: % grep -i aiglx /var/log/Xorg.0.log (**) Option "AIGLX" "true" When I run % compiz --replace from the command line metacity's decorations disappear but nothing comes in their place and the windows are left without frames/title bars. The mouse pointer is still functional, but when moving it into the terminal where I started compiz it disappears. None of the windows are responsive to the mouse. When switching to the console and back my X screen is all black, though the mouse pointer is still visible. Any pointers to what the problem might be and how to solve it would be very appreciated. /M [1]: http://wizah.blogspot.com/2006/10/debian-how-to-aiglx-compiz.html -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://therning.org/magnus
