I use debian testing (lenny), compiz unstable repo. You need compiz-gnome (or compiz-kde). You might need compiz-manager if you want to make compiz your default window manager.
Related settings in xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R200 QM [Radeon 9100]"
Driver "ati"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "EnablePageFlip" # may disable this.
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
Section "DRI"
group "video"
mode 0660
EndSection
Ctrl-alt-backspace to restart X. Execute fusion-icon, switch to compiz. If it works, you may make it the default window manager:
- gconf-editor: /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default , modify value to: /usr/bin/compiz-manager
- sudo vim /usr/bin/gnome-wm, near the end of the file, modify:
openbox) OPT1=--sm-client-id OPT2=$SMID CURRENT=openbox ;; *) OPT1=--sm-client-id OPT2=$SMID ;; esac fi - Modify /usr/bin/compiz-manager, change COMPIZ_NAME from “compiz” to “compiz.real”
gnome-wm is updated so we can simply set default window manager to compiz now. No further modification to gnome-wm is required.
