    What type of video card do you have installed on your machine? Here are some instruction I used to install Compiz Fusion http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-t...tu-58113.shtml

    I followed these instructions for the box, coolest thing I ever saw! My son also helped figure out the buttons to push for fire, water, and screen effects!

    2d screens? How many desktops do you have running right now? Bottom right corner, there should be four if you want a cube, 5 if you want a pentagonal prism thingy, 6 hexagonal, so on and so forth. To edit the amount of desktops you have, rightclick on one of the desktop icons, and chose preferences. You should be able to edit the setting there. Hope this helps!

    yea if you have the flipping screen it means that compiz is working, you just need to add more desktops

    the way i did it was go to the advanced desktop effects settings and then go to general options click the desktop size tab (for cube you will want 4 for horizontal, the rest should be at 1)

    Didn't I just say that a page ago? Always check the simple stuff before digging into the more complex stuff.

    On the Plus side Ctrl-Alt-Left button mouse spins and rotates the 2-d screens kinda nice.
