No Compiz config under LMDE 64 [Solved]

Post by rdonnelly »

I have the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5400 Series video card. The proprietary ATI Catylist drivers installed, and no matter what I try, and am not getting no 3D effects with CC? Alt+Tab just bring up an old boring flat box for switching apps. Also I am not able to get desktop cube, wobbly windows, etc. Seems LMDE needs more work in the CC area?

Actually I got it working by typing

Code: Select all

compiz --replace
everything works up until you log out, so I put the command in the startup folder. Is there a cofing file I can just ad that code to?

The Fusion-Icon did not work, I tried some of these http://wiki.debian.org/Compiz

Code: Select all

gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager compiz
Caused me to lose the boarders and I was not able to hit enter to use the gnome

Code: Select all

gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager gnome-wm
to get back where I was.

So I think I will just stick with my method of

Code: Select all

compiz --replace
in the startup folder.

I found a reasonable solution that is seamless, it works and is good enough for me. It also does not launch the CCSM on log in.


Gnome

Go in Desktop -> Preferences -> Sessions. Then choose the Startup Programs tab and add an entry for Compiz :

Code: Select all

compiz --replace --fast-filter
