[SOLVED] Linux Mint Compiz Cube

[Google Spider]

Hi :)

I just installed Mint 4.0 KDE community Edition. I have ATI card, installed driver using envy and everything is working fine. I want to know how to get the desktop cube. I have enabled it from Settings>Advanced Desktop effects but when I press Ctrl+Alt+right arrow it looks like its a plane not a cube. It has only 2 sides. I went to System Settings>Desktop>Multiple Desktops, it is set to 4 desktops by default. :confused:

Please help me get the cube. Thanks for your time and effort.

install ccsm, and disable desktop wall

ccsm is there by default and desktop wall is disabled. All other compiz fusion effects are working as they should, but when i press Ctrl+Alt+right arrow its like turning the page of a book, not a cube :-/

The Compiz Settings Manager has a General Settings option at the top. If you go there you can also set the number of workspaces. I don't know if that will fix your problem, but its the first thing that came to my mind.

on your gnome-pannel right click on your workspaces properties and add as many desktops as you want compiz will make a cube for 4 desktope etcs... if you dont have the workspaces on gnome-panel then right click a free place on gnome-panel and add workspace switcher etc...

Try and fiddle around with the workspace settings. It's in the general options I think...

@chris4585: Notice that Google Spider is using KDE...
