View Full Version : Compiz Fusion: No Window Decorations on Intel Graphics

THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED. :)

I know that there are a lot of threads posted about the window decorations already, but everything suggested in them doesn't work fully.

I'm running Compiz Fusion on an integrated Intel GMA 945GM chipset based laptop.
When I first installed Ubuntu Feisty Fawn I tried the built-in window effects (Wobbly Windows and the Cube Effect).
The cube worked for a while on that but then randomly stopped. The wobbly windows kept working.

When I could finally get internet I installed Compiz Fusion from Treviņo’s repository.
But when I typed "compiz --replace" and even after i typed "emerald --replace &" my window decorations would not work. Sometimes I can get them to work but they are immovable.
I found that if I typed "compiz --replace gconf" that I could get my window decorations. So I have been using that.

But the problem with that is that not many of the plugins for Compiz Fusion work. I get wobbly windows, peel, and minimize/maximize effects.. but stuff like window previews and the cube are not working.
I know it's possible to run on my computer because it has run at one time.
I have tried everything I could find on this subject and none of it works..
And I haven't seen any topics for an Intel-based graphics chipset.

Any suggestions?
