 |
|
I have finally achieved a stable amd64 system with working XFCE 4, GLX and DRI on my X1900XTX graphics card. (Using radeonhd)
Now there is one last thing to do: replace XFWM with Compiz-fusion.
I emerged compiz-fusion without incident but I don't know which configuration files I must modify to enable it... and the Gentoo Wiki is gone so I can't get the answer there.
Some pointers, links or instructions would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Do I need to add this section to XOrg's config? (I already have the standard DRI section.)
| Code: |
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

You will need the Composite extension, yes.
as for the starting instead of XFWM you could just put
into autostarted applications. maybe you will need other options besides --replace but I don't know which are necessary for radeonhd.
btw. a lot of articles from the old wiki can be found at http://www.gentoo-wiki.info

WOuldn't putting that line into the autostart list result in XFWM loading and then being replaced by compiz? (Perhaps I misunderstand that line.)
That sounds clunky. Can't I just configure XFCE to use Compiz and not use XFWM at all?
