    no glx visuals avaliable :
    comment (with #) in your xorg.conf composite extension, make sure you have Nvidia driver (downloaded from nvidia.com). please come back to say if that works ;)

  4. Hi!

    Nice script, worked almost perfectly.

    Maybe to make it dummy-proof, you can add something like
    if [ $EUID != 0 ]; then
    echo "You must be root!";
    exit;
    fi;
    because n00by me tried "MAYBE it works :)" and it just downloaded the stuff and didn't do anything else
    (in the end I ended up with 4 of each of the downloaded files, cuz then I just reran the script to make it default ;))

    Second suggestion is to check if the /var/apt/lockthigny is locked (don't know it's name atm.) so apt-get will work (or you have to run the script again (and there is my 4. version of the files ;))


    So, and I have an error, but that is not directly related to you or your script I think, I have only the "fade"-plugin in gconf, even if in /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options everything is set :/

    in /usr/lib/compiz there are library-files so they're installed properly I think...

    Some features don't work with me atm. (like zooming), but the cube stuff works for example... maybe its related to my keybindings (don't have windows-keys) or something else, have no idea how to figure out without to configure it..
    So maybe it will work if you send me the part of your gconf-file?

    anyway, REALLY nice and I was quite surprised it worked instantly even if its alpha and stuff ^^

  5. So, all features that doesn't require windows keys work/worked,
    I installed the old CVS version you posted the link in the other blog and with that the plugin-entries were added to gconf, but without options, only descriptions >< (And i just had a white cube without desktop, but its outdated, so it doesn't matter ^^)
    Anyway, I'll try gset-compiz out now,
    maybe you add that to the script as well by default, hehe? ;)
    I really appreciate your work, thx again :)
