Linux Mint 10 & Compiz

Post by lKingjr »

I'm running LM 10 in VirtualBox on a Mac host. If I try and start Fusion-Icon, not only does LM lock up, but VB and my iMac as well. I have to power it off. My question is, I also have Ubuntu 10.10 which works fine with Compiz in VirtualBox, seeing that LM 10 is based on Ubuntu 10.10, can you think of a reason this would be the case?

thanks

I have a similar question. I am using a Windows 7 host with a Radeon HD 4830. I am using VirutalBox 3.2.10 and have installed the 3.2.10 Guest Additons. I get a large display size, which is good, but no Compiz effects. I enabled 3D on the VBox guest options and also set the video memory to 128MB. This worked without a problem for LM9. Not sure why it wouldn't work for LM10 now.

Any ideas?
