I'm back with a new howto.
since few days, you can found compiz into debian etch official mirror.
I will explain you how to install it.
1. Uninstall older package (if you use my old howto (alien & cie)).
su
dpkg -r compiz
dpkg -r xgl
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade (dist-upgrade)
configure your Xorg 7.1
install nvidia driver (the lastest 9629).
apt-get install compiz-core compiz-gnome compiz-gtk compiz-plugins
You're ready !
Configuring /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Add this section
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
Modify Device Section and Add :
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True"
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
Modify Screen Section and add :
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
open :
Desktop -> Preference -> Sessions
Startup Program
Add : compiz --replace --fast-filter
/etc/init.d/gdm restart
Well, I tried to follow the instructions, but when launching compiz I see the following message:
RépondreSupprimer/usr/bin/compiz.real: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
/usr/bin/compiz.real: Failed to manage screen: 0
/usr/bin/compiz.real: No manageable screens found on display :0
Hello Sonique,
RépondreSupprimerthank you for providing howtos. I appreciate that. You described how to do aiglx in debian testing with the nvidea-driver. Do you know something about ati too? If it works? When I wanted to install compiz to my debian testing distribution, apt suggested to install nvidea-glx. I did not know how to react on that. Does that mean that aiglx is only possible with nvidea and not with ati?
Bonjour,
RépondreSupprimerPremierement je voudrai te remercier pour tes excellents HowTo ! ca fait plaisir !
Secundo, une ptite question qui me turlupine, sait tu pourquoi il n'y a pas (encore?) de compiz-manager dans le repository de Etch alors qu'il y a tout le reste ? et puisqu'il n'y a pas de manager, comment faire pour changer les raccourci clavier de compiz ?
merci !
