 |
|
Hello
I have worked through the gentoo-wiki for compiz fusion.
Everything went well, no errors.
But: Cf will start, telling me it uses kde-decorations and.. nope, no decorations. I can not move any windows anymore, ALT-tabbing does not work either, nor can I CTRL-Fx onto another desktop NOR do I see any fancy compiz-stuff...
Any input? |

Type emerald --replace from a terminal to get the windows working. If you want to use the compiz stuff, you can hold ALT+CONTROL to spin the cube around. If you type ccsm in a terminal, it'll bring up the configuration tool.

The wiki said that much already, but thanks.
does.. well.. nothing.. the konsole just sits there, no errors, no feedback, no output, no blinking cursor..
Hold on.. you mean, I should run that command, keep it there and THEN run compiz-start?
(Edit: Nope, won't do no good...)
As for the rest: I know how to do things in Compiz, but none of them work 
ccsm comes up fine, but what would I change there to help my cause? |

Did you just install compiz-fusion? And if so, did you run the emerge while X was running? Might want to try rebooting the computer if you made all the necessary changes.

I have rebooted my PC a few times by now, no change.
I have an nvidia 7600GT using the nvidia driver (package nvidia-drivers)
works fine so far, except for that.. |

ok... try this in a console: (assuming you use compiz to bring compiz up)
touch tester
echo 'compiz &' >> tester
echo 'sleep 3' >> tester
echo 'emerald --replace &' >> tester
echo 'sleep 30' >> tester
echo 'kwin --replace &' >> tester
chmod +x tester
./tester
give the output pls, don't worry, if compiz should not work, you will be in 30 secs in kde, so just wait. |
