HOWTO: New Xorg+aiglx+compiz method

[ronmarley1]

Where should i right-click? On the icon in the panel? If i dont get any options there.

You should be able to rt. click on the icon to get the GL Desktop selection. Not sure why you don't.

Thanks for the Howto! I thought I did everything right but somethings not right and the X server didn't start.

Not sure what happened. Any suggestions?

Excellent Thread! aixgl and compiz work again! Although I prefer my last configuration with my deprecated gnome-vanilla-aiglx (Does anybody have the deprecated packages?) The reason is very easy: with my modest i915 integrated graphic is the best solution a have tested from xgl, aiglx+quinn or my favorite aiglx-vanilla. Actually, with the new gnome-compiz-manager the windows border have disappear though others effect works ok (if you have the same problem this doesn't happen with the quinn's pack)

One Question: Does anybody know why the borders dissapear with the compiz-vanilla & compiz-vanilla-gnome? I will put a few candles for any Saint to use again the compiz-vanilla.

No, that's the theme tool. Right click on the icon in the panel. The arrow in the attached screen capture shows which one.

Same here.

I done this on a fresh install of Dapper with ATI properly installed (I mean, fglrxinfo getting ATI and OpenGL, no mesa3d) and followed the steps one by one.

But, my X session got broke all the time. I got to do a "startx" in this session to came here tell you this.

Something must be missing on your how-to man.

Genius, Ubuntu... Genius...

Needless to say, this didn't work for me...

[ericesque]

heh. yeah. I've been getting that 'you may want too run apt-get' message as well. It never made any sense to me either.

HI! I supposed you are using the compiz-vanilla. You can use the compiz-quinn or put a 16 defaultPath (the color range) in your xorg.conf and voila! the borders appear again. Personally I prefer the second solution!
