No video effects in XFCE

[yamawho]

Installed MInt XFCE 5 on a NF2 system with 1GB ram and a Nvidia FX5200.

I used Envy to install the Nvidia driver and get the Nvidia logo on boot but no matter what I effects I select, I don't see any difference ...

Is there an on switch somewhere ?

Click the main menu button, then select Xfce4-MintConfig. Then select the Desktop tab, then Xfce 4 Desktop. There you should see how to enable Compiz Fusion.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I found there are 3 choices that deal with the desktop in MintConfig;

- XFCE 4 Desktop settings
- XFCE 4 MintDesktop (which is the one that enables Compiz)
- XFCE 4 Advanced Desktop effects

So ... Xfce4-MintConfig from the main menu, then select the Desktop tab, then Xfce 4 MintDesktop.
From here you select the Compiz Fusion tab and then you have two choices;

Compiz Fusion (enable/disable)

Compiz Fusion on login (enable/disable)

This XFCE release has me interested in Mint once again
